Duke basketball: Ranking the chances of 10 finalists for Patrick Baldwin Jr.
By Matt Giles
4. Wisconsin-Milwaukee
Yes, Wisconsin-Milwaukee deserves to be this high. Why? Patrick Baldwin Sr.
The namesake of the five-star recruit is the head coach for the Panthers. And what Patrick Baldwin Jr. recently told Rivals‘ Corey Evans is reason enough for the Duke basketball coaches and others to view his dad as a serious threat:
“First and foremost, I would love to play for my dad. I don’t know where I would be without him and my parents, along with what his job is. It has opened up so many opportunities for me to be around players, to be at Final Fours, around so many coaches and high-level basketball…at the end of the day, he has just been helping me make the best decision possible.”
Baldwin Jr. continued:
“Whether that is playing for him or not…he has been in my ear pretty much every day and every time that I get off the phone with coaches or get done texting them…Milwaukee, it is a special place for me, and my dad is a special coach for me, so he will definitely be someone down the road [who] would be hard to go away from.”
Looks like an 11 PERCENT CHANCE the Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panthers land Patrick Baldwin Jr.
