In Chris' same blog he mentioned that Anderson can play, was also this little nugget:

Another injured Flame — Tyler Baker — remains in a cast and will still miss several weeks

Poor kid has been here almost three years now, and has yet to have an injury free season.

Tyler is difference maker with his perimeter shooting. We need to pray for his recovery.

[SuperJon]

If he's hurt too far into January, look for them to try and get a medical red shirt.

That will be almost impossible. He redshirted his freshman year due to injury.

[SuperJon]

That's what I thought too when I was first told that. It's possible to get a 6th year though (look at Sene).

[HenryGale]

It's possible, just not likely

[kentuckywildcats]

not basketball, but jason white oklahoma got two red-shirts.

The title to this thread is fitting in more than one way.

[SuperJon]

What's your problem with Baker? You've always had one and I've never understood it.

[jcmanson]

It's not a problem with Baker, it's a problem with his agent.

[SuperJon]

No, TDD has always had a problem with TB, even before Andy came on here.

[TDDance234]

It has nothing to do with Andy.

I just don't like his game, at this point, he's no better than Doug Stewart.

Zach is wrong on this one. TB is the real deal. VMI was very grateful he only played 10 minutes in that final game last year when he scored 12 points. Doug is a totally different player than Tyler. Doug was athletic and explosive while Baker is more finese. Doug was/is a better player than anyone will ever know becacuse in my humble opinion, he lost his confidence, his love for basketball and his spirit of fun once he took the redshirt off. It is unfortunate because he is a talented basketball player. If he were on this team now, he would be getting major minutes. Doug was asked to play the 5 and the 4 and he is just not that kind of player. Anyway, I am done defending my boy Doug. TB is a baller.

That magical 6th year usually comes after this 5th season. Tyler is only in his R-soph year. They would have to make a decision and not play him at all after the 13th game to have any shot at it.

Scar, I heard that Doug would not guard you. And even his AAU and summer tour coaches said he wouldn't mix it up and rebound at all. My understanding is that TB will mix it up and battle just needed to be stronger and healthy.

[TIMSCAR20]

No one ever accused Doug of being a defensive specialist. And I am kinda tough to guard I agree TB will mix it up.

[Hold My Own]

Its really hard to see what he brings...I mean how much DI game footage do we really have to go off of? He shoots the lights out in practice...but Scar did to and we all saw how that panned out...

Very funny, very funny You are too young to remember the Alston/Scarborough show (ok mostly Alston )

[jmdickens]

SCAR you should really stop defending DS....you will be called a homer.......DOX
