Sophomore Will Baker, a former 4-star recruit from Austin, Texas, is transferring from the University of Texas.

Per the announcement, Baker doesn’t have a specific transfer destination in mind at this point.
A former four-star prospect ranked as the nation’s No. 9 center in the 2019 class, per the 247Sports Composite..."

I don't think he played a game this year; but presume he would have to sit out an entire year and would be eligible mid-year next year; correct me if I am wrong and he could be eligible earlier. Evansville should at least reach out and see if there is any interest. You just never know.
Note: Wasn't sure which class to put this in; so feel free to move to a more appropriate year.
