Expert Analysis
Steve Quattrocchi | Prep Hoops Scout
The rare three sport star, Beau is going to play football in college but had a fantastic high school basketball career as a bruising power forward. One of the better 5th region players over the last few years, Beau turned down basketball offers to play football in college.

Baker utilized his length and athleticism to bother Woodford’s big men. His ability to put the ball on the floor to drive caused them problems as well. Plays more like a guard than a big, but was great around the rim scoring in traffic. He was the best rebounder on the floor and made his presence known in the paint. Really solid player.

Beau is one of the biggest and strongest players in the Senior class and will play football in college despite additional offers in basketball and baseball. One of the few three sport stars left in Kentucky, Baker is a true post who is averaging 15 and 9 while shooting over 55% from the field.

is actually the go to player for Washington County for one more season. A bruiser on the low block, Beau can score around the bucket or he can stretch out past the elbow with a jump shot.

Baker has been around the top 15-30 in the class for the last couple of years but his stock takes a small tumble just because he didn’t play AAU this summer to focus on his other sports. A star in baseball and football, Beau is going to have multiple avenues to get to college and get it paid for. One of the best players in his region, Baker is a matchup problem thanks to his willingness to play around the bucket and do all the dirty work.

Baker is a bruising post player that is likely to pursue football in college but does hold a D2 offer from Tusculum University on the court. Beau is a good rebounder in addition to being a physical presence. It’s not expected that he’ll play AAU but if he does, Baker could see more offers.

was a man amongst boys against LCA, carrying them to a win and making the game winning free throw for his team. In the second round, Baker didn’t score the ball as well (he still led his team in scoring) but he did still rebound and defend well enough to hang with Owen County for all 4 quarters before falling short.

Baker is the rare 3 sport athlete who excels at all of them. Beau is big and strong and is a load in the post. He will be a matchup issue for LCA thanks to his size and strength. If he can do some midrange scoring against a zone, he could be the difference maker on Thursday.

Beau is a big, strong post who can bully opponents of all shapes and sizes thanks to his strength. Baker is a three sport star and holds an offer from D2 Tusculum University on the court already. Baker is going to be one of the best players in the 5th region this season and will be a matchup issue for nearly every opponent.
