Expert Analysis
Brandon Ramsey | Prep Hoops Scout
This South Bend Riley wing had an outstanding senior season averaging a team-high 14.5 points per game for the 22-win Wildcats. Then, on Sunday, the Bethel signee showcased his versatile skill set and impressive athletic tools against some of the best players across the state. He shot the ball well from three-point range and used his size to finish at the end of his drives. Baird’s best basketball is likely ahead of him and is poised for a great career in the Crossroads League.

Baird will be remembered for his nearly three-quarter court game-winner to lift South Bend Riley over Jeffersonville 60-58. However, the Bethel commit played well up to that point as well. The 6’5″ wing finished with 18 points and 9 rebounds in the game for the Wildcats as they advanced to 10-2 on the season. He is always under control on the floor, can impact the game in a variety of ways offensively, and is always heavily involved in their rebounding efforts.
