Really cool, thanks for posting. Any idea who the players are in the pic?

If you are talking about the twitter picture (not the picture of Coach Baker alone with his cake), front row L-R is Dick Bouldin (60s) and Coach Baker, second row L-R is current Assistant Coach Chris LePore, George Wilson (early 60s, National Championship) , and Mamoudou Diarra (2017+).

I could be wrong, but I think the guy next to Tay is Ken Cunningham, not Dick Bouldin. I don’t think Dick Bouldin played basketball for UC. Dick’s brother was a starting guard on the 1961 championship team.

With all due respect, I can guarantee it is Dick Bouldin standing next to Coach Baker. I do have personal knowledge on this one.

And from the UC media guide: Bouldin, Carl 1959-60-61 Bouldin, Dick 1966-68. Carl was also a major league ballplayer.
