“Yesterday, I mentioned the easy/obvious staff additions at James Madison (Daily Dirt – 4/6). I’ve now heard of two more…It sounds like Mount St. Mary’s (MD) assistant Xavier Joyner and UMES assistant Calvin Baker will both be joining Mark Byington’s staff. Joyner has been at The Mount for the past three seasons, and worked with Nike Team Takeover AAU (DC) before that. Baker, who I’ve heard will be the director of recruiting at JMU, had also worked with Nike Team Takeover, and was a HS coach in VA before joining the UMES staff”

Calvin Baker sounded familiar...He was all everything in Hampton Roads during high school. He started at W&M for a year before transferring to UVA for his last three.

His UMES bio says he was an assistant at Paul VI before joining their program last year. He's been all around Virginia and DC high school basketball/AAU since he graduated.
