Top SI99 Wing Patrick Baldwin Jr. ’75 Percent Sure’ on College Destination

Baldwin will decide between Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina and his father's UW-Milwaukee team.

Back in December when Patrick Baldwin Jr. broke the news of his season-ending ankle injury with Sports Illustrated, SI99’s top wing said he would use the sudden time away from the game to focus on his recruitment.

Baldwin was mulling over a top 10 of Duke, Georgetown, Kentucky, Michigan, Northwestern, North Carolina, UCLA, UW-Milwaukee, Virginia and Wisconsin.

Less than two months later, Baldwin said he’s “75 percent sure” that he knows where he wants to go.

“I think I know where I would like to go,” Baldwin said. “So, I’m just kinda just sitting on it right now.”

Still, don’t expect any big announcements to come this week or next, Baldwin said he wants to take his time to get to get to 100 percent certainty.

“I think in a few weeks or a few months I’ll be able to say 100 percent,” Baldwin said. “I’ll take as much time as I would like to.”

Naturally, Baldwin’s statement will send the recruiting world scrambling for clues to tie him to a number of different schools.

The easiest connection would be to UW-Milwaukee since he calls the head coach Pat Baldwin “dad.”

As for his rehab, Baldwin plans to begin running next week for the first time since the injury, a progressive step that has excites him.

“Ankle is feeling good,” he said. “Because of the boot it tightened up my Achilles so we’re just trying to get that stretched out and strengthened. No rush with anything right now. I’ve got time.”
