I love Baye. He's one of the best ambassadors we have ever had. He was a great leader and worked his butt off. And I think CTO's story is great.

That said, saying Baye could play at some pro level is no more realistic than Billy Celuck or Craig Forth being legitimate pro level players (nothing against them, either - some people are tall, hard workers, and great reps for SU, who simply don't have the skill level necessary to play at the next level).

It's not taking anything away from Baye to say he isn't good enough to play pro ball. The vast majority of college players are in the same boat, and it doesn't lessen the impact they had at their respective schools.

Gerry freaking McNamara could barely make it in pro leagues (I know he was chasing the NBA level and that was a hurdle and he eventually just decided to coach instead, but the point remains). If GMac struggles to play at a pro level, it's not unrealistic to say Baye won't be able to, either.
