FAIRBANKS, Alaska Alaska men's basketball head coach Mick Durham announced the program has landed its second recruit as Ronnie Baker (Vallejo, Calif./Diablo Valley College) signed his National Letter of Intent to play for the Nanooks in 2012-13.
Ronnie brings us experience on the perimeter, Durham said. He can score the ball and also brings toughness on the defensive end as well.
Baker, a 6-3 guard who will enter as a junior, averaged 13.3 points and 5.5 rebounds this past season for Diablo Valley College. In addition he also dished out 2.3 assists and had 2.2 steals per outing.
A two-year starter for DVC, he was an All-Big 8 Conference First Team selection this past year and made Honorable Mention as a freshman. In two seasons, he helped his squad to a combined 50-11 record and a pair of California Community College Athletic Association State Championships appearances.
Ronnie comes from a very well-respected Northern California junior college that just wins and does things the right way, Durham said. I'm really looking forward to him bringing those qualities to our program.
From day one, Ronnie was committed both in the classroom and in the gym 100 percent, Diablo Valley head coach Steve Coccimiglio said. Coach Durham is getting a leader. He's a versatile player, he's a winner and he does the little things within a team and he proved that in high school and here as we ended up with 50 wins over two years.
Baker joins incoming freshman guard Cody Pierson (Twin Bridges, Mont./Twin Bridges) on Durham's list of men's basketball players who have signed with the program for next year.

Taylor Rohde of Alaska Anchorage collected his third All-America honor this season when the NABC unveiled its 2012 NCAA Division II team Thursday.
After receiving first-team honors from Basketball Times on Monday and Daktronics (sports information directors) second-team honors on Tuesday, Rohde was one of 16 choices on the coaches' team, which does not differentiate between first, second or third teams.
The only other West Region selection was Reggie Jones of Cal State Stanislaus.
Rohde led the GNAC in scoring (19.8), field-goal percentage (.627) and double-doubles (9), and finished in a virtual three-way tie for the rebounding lead with 8.0 per game.
Rohde, who was the only GNAC players selected to the three All-American teams, will represent UAA one more time on the court when he plays in Friday's NCAA Division II All-Star game.
Taylor Rohde (6'9''-F/C-90)
Head Coach Kenton McBride has picked up a quality piece to his puzzle at Concord in sharpshooter Jake Bischoff from Olentangy Liberty. The 6'3 combo guard was instrumental in the team's 20+ win season with countless clutch plays, effective and efficient ballhandling, and some of the best 3pt shooting in Ohio.

Head Coach Kenton McBride has picked up a quality piece to his puzzle at Concord in sharpshooter Jake Bischoff from Olentangy Liberty. The 6'3 combo guard was instrumental in the team's 20+ win season with countless clutch plays, effective and efficient ballhandling, and some of the best 3pt shooting in Ohio. Concord looks for Bischoff to bring the same Conference & District Championship-winning atttitude and work ethic to the ever-growing collegiate program. As a career 40+% 3pt shooter with point or shooting guard skills and the newly named 'clutch gene,' Jake Bischoff should be the first of many Central Ohio success stories for Concord.
