Five-star basketball recruit Patrick Baldwin Jr. has committed to Milwaukee of the Horizon League, he told ESPN on Wednesday, spurning offers from the likes of Duke, Georgetown and Virginia to join his father Patrick Baldwin Sr., the Panthers' head coach since 2017.
"I will be playing for my dad at Milwaukee," the younger Baldwin told ESPN. "I had some great options, which made me not rush through the process. The thought of playing for my dad was too good to pass up. In today's day and age, you see mid-majors having great success, most recently Loyola and Oral Roberts."
Baldwin is the No. 4-rated recruit in the Class of 2021 and the No. 8-ranked player in ESPN's 2022 NBA mock draft, making him the most highly touted prospect to commit to a Horizon League team in conference history. He will attempt to become the Horizon's first lottery pick since Butler's Gordon Hayward in 2010.

Xavier recruit Tucker makes a big jump although I predict Edwards will make an immediate impact for X. Mason Miller is going to fit nicely in Omaha. I am thinking that Villanova's stranglehold on this conference might be loosening a bit. Can DePaul hold on to their guy?
Could be Xup, but an important distinction, Trey Patterson, nova's. #1 recruit is not listed. Still part of the class but got to campus a semester early. I believe he was ranked high 20's low 30's prior to getting to campus. It actually is a very nice class for the Cats.
