A five star shouldn't be that surprising. His Dad turned out to be one with the Huskers.

Yeah, but in the modern ratings system, has there been a 5 star player from the state of Nebraska? I am not so sure. If "star" ratings were passed out when Ahman came out of Central, then I would say he would have been the last.

 
I bet he can tie his shoes whilst standing on his head, and at the same time sing stairway to heaven in reverse.... While blocking 2 DT's

let's just see what happens, doesn't matter that much because they don't give a true good nebraska prospect credit when its due...

 
Per: A Step Ahead: Jim Stefani's Underclassmen Football Recruiting Blog

One of the nation’s top overall linemen and possibly the top prospect in Nebraska…..Two-way star who recorded 94 tackles as a junior in earning consensus First Team All-State honors on the defensive side of the ball…….Has been a starter since his freshman season……Projects on the OL in college……Rare combination of size, speed (4.93 combine forty) and quickness (great shuttle at U.S. Army Combine)……Great bloodlines, as his father, Dean Steinkuhler, was an All-American center at Nebraska…..His coach has had a couple of players go on to the NFL and says that Baker is a superior prospect to both of them…..He committed to Nebraska in September 2006.

Dean Steinkuhler was a guard. Did he even play center?

 
Baker's film is very impressive to watch. Just a great high school lineman right now. Great on defense, but amazing on offense. A few things that stand out: great on the perimeter when he pulls, gains great leverage on defenders and just great size (tall, almost thin looking, but strong as an ox).

People have made the argument that he is in Lincoln playing his high school ball and doesn't play against great competition and thus isn't as good as other lineman in other high profile areas such as Texas, California and Florida. And this may be true to an extent, but I really get the feeling that if he were in on of these areas he'd simply be even better and still be as dominant. It comes down to himself just being that guy who wants to work harder than everyone else. If he were in Texas, we'd have spring ball, extra weight room time, lots of perks. But sometimes that's a benefit not having all that. Too many times those kids peak to early, there burnt out.
