I’m extremely excited and proud to announce the launch of the Geo Baker Go Beyond Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit focused on providing for the youth in New Jersey.
It’s now been over a year since I started basketball training for the youth and immediately, I noticed the amount of
The NCAA OWNS my name image and likeness. Someone on music scholarship can profit from an album. Someone on academic scholarship can have a tutor service. For ppl who say “an athletic scholarship is enough.” Anything less than equal rights is never enough. I am

Think you can definitely be grateful to play this game while also understanding there’s more that should be on the table. Players ISOLATED entire year to help make this tournament happen. NCAA: rewarded w/ $900 million. Players: rewarded w/ free deodorant and small boxed meals.
Are people really complaining about things in the bubble?
Would you prefer to go back to the situation we endured last year?
We're having an NCAA Tournament and that's all that matters.
Be grateful for what you DO have in life.
Not what you don't.

I remember back when Shrewsbrury was the assistant for Purdue and he would put up their play on the white board and it would say some shit like “swivel down stagger twist” and I would yell that back out confidently like we knew the play and he just looked at me and said “cmon Geo
Purdue is known for running a ton of sets, but this one might just be my favorite. So many actions that are essentially all decoy to set up a three for one of the best shooters in the country
My best guess at naming it would be

People forget how they used to talk about us man. We never forgot. Job not finished in any way but damn we’re just enjoying the moment! Culture changers Fr ❤️🖤
Respect to my guy
@Geo_Baker_1
. One of the best to do it. Thankful for our battles through the years & more importantly our friendship. Been quite the ride❤️🤞🏻
The # of followers I’ve lost for speaking out about people wanting equality is so sad. Acknowledging change is needed is the 1st step. it goes way beyond police brutality! Educational inequalities, access to credit, workplace discrimination. The list goes on. Enough is enough 💔
So much outside noise on Twitter so been trying to stay off but quick shout out to my friends, family, coaches, and Rutgers Nation! Making History ❤️🖤 ✌️
If i were on full academic scholarship i could start a “geo baker tutor service.” people would pay me because they know I am knowledgeable. But when on full basketball scholarship i cannot have a “Geo Baker basketball camp.” See the problem?
Rip Coach Boylan. You were my biggest supporter since the first day I stepped foot on campus... I know you would’ve had the best advice for me rn and wish we could talk hoops one last time. ❤️
What a special day. Saw so many twitter threads and photos over these past few days from a bunch of different Rutgers people and it just shows how special this community truly is. Glad we got a chance to go out the right way at home! Much more to come ❤️🖤
Pikes is really the best man. I’ve heard stories of recruits going to visit other schools and the current players wouldn’t even give them the time of day. Look at how all the guys react. That all stems down from Coach. True family ❤️🖤
I completed my undergrad today!! I think it’s fitting that i reached this goal on Mother’s Day because I would’ve never made it this far without you. Only us 2 know what it took for us get to this point. Love you and Happy Mother’s Day ❤️🤞
Can't even begin to explain this year. Through the ups and downs I wouldn't take anything back! S/O to Rutgers Nation y'all are the best. Time to get back to the gym and improve. We'll back better than ever 🤘
Tons of negative tweets about both Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark tonight… The real story should be about how they both put women’s basketball in the spotlight! So entertaining to watch 👏
Toronto is a great spot Fr.
Siakam, Chris Boucher, Delano Benton. All guys who developed with raptors g league team.
When i worked out with them last year in pre draft, they emphasized how much they believe in developing the guys on their g league team. I’m hyped 😂❤️🖤
Seeing a lot of negative press after yesterday. Reminds me a lot of my early years in the RAC. It’ll never be a straight line upward. Now’s when the real fans keep coming out to support and watch progression, and the others wait for sunnier days. We’re with you

This Montverde team can beat a lot of Division 1 basketball teams
They would win a handful of conferences and are coached by one of the best in the world at any level
Nah man that’s what the NCAA would call a violation 🤣 you giving me free food because of my name is against NCAA rules. My name image and likeness belongs to them. But any Rutgers kids on full academic scholarship with names not owned by NCAA can surely get some though! 😉😉😂
The argument is simple. We deserve an opportunity to create money from our name, image, and likeness. If you don’t agree with that statement, then you are saying that you believe that I, a human being, should be owned by something else.
#NotNCAAProperty
Rip T Clarke. You were so special bro. I remember when you were in 8th grade nervous as hell that you wouldn’t get a d1 offer and i told you that you were gonna be the greatest and don’t even worry about it. I can’t even believe this rn lil bro 💔💔

Today i had 2 hours of practice, one hour of film and about 30 mins of mobility. Then the rest of the day is free time since it is spring break at Rutgers rn so i don’t have virtual classes! Thanks though
You trying to win a game for your teammates, coaches and community or are you trying to be a guy in the media? Wow really sad this is where you focus your attention given the opportunity you have...

My schedule as a D1 college basketball player was as follows:
830: grab some breakfast
9-11: morning classes or morning study hall
1130-12: eat lunch
1230-115: treatment of my body. (Stretching, heat and stim, foam rolling, taping ankles)
115-145: Get shots up before practice
Armando Bacot on UConn’s Cam Spencer, who became a UNC antagonist tonight here at the Garden:
“Yeah, he was saying things he wouldn’t say to me if we were in the park or something. But it’s all good. He had a great game, so credit to him.”
Being ranked always puts a different type of target on your back. I think these guys are more ready for that challenge than any of our teams in the past. Paul, Caleb, and Cam are a one of a kind leadership trio. Foot on the gas and no celebration until the jobs finished! ❤️🖤
Forever a trendsetter and never a follower. Any captain or leader who bails on their troops must doubt their own ability to lead them to victory. The mission is clear.

So then... we agree?? We don’t want money from our school related games and practices. We want the opportunity to make money with our faces outside of school like you did with your band!

@Geo_Baker_1
I was a music major, and I did not get one dime from all the concerts, all the recordings made that I was one of the musicians. When I played with my rock band, not school related, then I got paid, crap money for sure. So I do not feel any sympathy for this person.
People forget that Rutgers went 3-33 in BIG Ten play the two seasons before

Today we're in-line to potentially get a double bye and 4th place in the league.
THANK YOU

@Geo_Baker_1
for changing this program!
Cam Spencer is the most focused and most prepared basketball player I’ve ever met. There’s a reason he has the consistency he does. Never met anyone like him.
