Senior Season Hig...Early Season Seni...Carson Baker 2020...Carson Baker 2019...Personal Statement
The love of basketball started when I was 5 years old working with the high school coaches in youth camps. Then I fell in love with the game at that point and have always had a basketball in my hands since.
I'm lucky to say that I've had 4 coaches that have taught me to love the game of basketball. They showed confidence in me at times when I had not earned it yet. They gave me opportunities that I probably didn't deserve and their confidence in me helped me develop my love for basketball. The impact they had on me pushes me to want to play beyond high school and hopefully beyond college.
My academic goal is to get a degree in education and a minor in Math. I'm interested in coaching after college and the teaching degree will help me achieve that goals. I'm looking to find a school that I can enjoy my college experience while playing basketball and help set me up to achieve my goals after my playing days are over.
My coaches taught me how to be a good teammate and to be coachable. They taught me how to see the floor and view the game in a different way. They taught me to develop versatility. I'm best known for my shooting, but I also take a lot of pride in my passing, ball handling and defense. But my greatest asset is my love of of the game. I feel like I can bring a lot of passion to a program and I can use that along with my basketball skill sets to develop into a very productive player that wants more from the game after I am done playing.

- Mark Miller Observations-Baker is an extremely sound and skilled left-handed guard who averaged 11.7 points per game as a junior at Fort Atkinson. He will begin his senior season as a three-year varsity performer for coach Mike Hintz and the Blackhawks and showed his experience at Viterbo by picking his spots and scoring, both from the perimeter and in transition. Baker is a player opposing defenses will always have to guard because of his ability to knock down three-point shots.

- Observations from the WBY Tournament in Plymouth By Mark Miller07/15/2019, 12:45pm CDT Carson Baker, 5-8, Soph., G, Fort Atkinson A fundamentally sound and extremely skilled left-handed guard, Baker was on fire from deep during the Blackhawks' stay in Plymouth. He drilled nine three-point baskets and scored 31 points in a win over Sheboygan North, and also had 25 points and seven triples in a win over South Milwaukee. You absolutely must respect the amount of time and effort Baker has put into becoming such a terrific shooter despite his size limitations. Baker led Fort Atkinson in scoring as a freshman by averaging 9.1 points per game. In the five games Fort Atkinson played in Plymouth, Baker averaged 17.2 ppg. He teams with sophomore Cade Cosson (5-10) and junior Greyson Wixom (6-0) to give coach Mike Hintz a solid nucleus at Fort Atkinson the next several seasons.
