Not long after it was revealed he was exploring transfer opportunities, Baker and the school confirmed that he will indeed continue his basketball career elsewhere.
Even so, Baker is still grateful for his time in Lexington and being part of the Big Blue Nation.
“I want to thank the Big Blue Nation for supporting me during my two years at Kentucky,” Baker said in a press release. “You are truly the best fans in the country and I’ve enjoyed my time here wearing the Blue and White. ”However, after talking with Coach Cal, the staff and my family, I feel it’s in my best interest to continue my academic and basketball career elsewhere.
