Celebrity sighting, awesome! Cougar basketball player Aron Baynes was looking trim and teammate Caleb Forrest was back to yeti hair when they were spotted among the crowds at Hoopfest. They had a little entourage of giddy middle-schoolers following them around and left a wake of people doing double-takes and saying things like, “Is that the Baynes kid?”

Nick talked to them and looked really short. Most of the team is just staying in Pullman all summer and they came up to see the Hoopfest madness and sign stuff for fans. Nick and I agreed there were more citizen ballplayers sporting Cougar gear than Zags gear out on the courts, so it’s nice to see people haven’t forgotten. Here is a gratuitous paparazzi shot for Christina:

And if you want to reminisce with the original Christina Meets Baynes post, it’s here.
