NAIA Missouri Baptist (St. Louis MO) where he will be teammates with a long time friend and player who he played with in Australia several years ago.
MBU was 25-8 and finished the season ranked in the Top 25.
Meanwhile, now that Callum has his plans finalized for next season, he has returned to play a few more games with the Hobart (Tasmania) Chargers of the SEABL
In his most recent game, Callum came off the bench for 5 minutes, but was scoreless. *
-- they play again Friday & Saturday and have 5 more regular season games left, then playoffs.

Looks like Callum Barker played in a pro-am league over in Tasmania after his stint with the Hobart Chargers...

He plays for the Hobart Phoenix Premier Men’s team and had a great game of 36 points & 20 rebounds!!

Well, now we can see how Barker might have fared had he played in Bradley's intramural league.

I'm very happy for Cal. By all accounts he sounds like a great young man, and I think he'll do well playing at that level.

...very complimentary of his time at Bradley, his teammates and the coaching staff...
I appreciate his classy words and hope he has a good year at MBU

[BUSongwriter]

It likely can't happen, but I wish Callum's three years here could get some kind of acknowledgment on Senior Night. He was a part of our turnaround. I wish him a great year at Missouri Baptist and beyond.

Callum chose a great place for his senior year...altho today's game has been cancelled because of the snow in the St. Louis area...

Missouri Baptist was not ranked before the season but they have solidly beaten every opponent and march upwards thru the rankings...
they are now 18-0 and ranked #5 and getting 1st place votes - only a few points out of being ranked #1.
When their new poll comes out this week, they will likely move up more...

Callum was just named their Athlete of the Week
On the season he is averaging 8.5 ppg, 5.1 rpg, 1.3 blks, 61.5% FG shooting
