Optimism remains in Duke basketball’s longtime chase of Patrick Baldwin Jr.

Aside from the 247Sports Crystal Ball, which has favored Milwaukee over the Duke basketball program for several months, it doesn’t seem as if much has really changed across the past year in the battle for Hamilton (Wis.) forward Patrick Baldwin Jr.

No, ever since early May 2020, the 6-foot-10, 205-pound silky five-star has been down to the same 10 finalists: Duke, Georgetown, Kentucky, Michigan, Milwaukee, Northwestern, UCLA, UNC, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
