Patrick Baldwin, Jr. is one of a handful of 5-star recruits that Roy Williams and the North Carolina Tar Heels have targeted in the class of 2021. Baldwin is a 6-foot-9, 190-pound small forward, and the second-highest ranked prospect on the Tar Heels’ recruiting board for next season.
A senior at Hamilton High School in Sussex, Wisconsin, Baldwin eliminated 10 schools last week when he announced a list of finalists that includes Duke, Georgetown, Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina, Northwestern, UCLA, Virginia, Wisconsin and Wisconsin-Milwaukee. In doing so, he eliminated the likes of Florida, Kansas and Marquette, among others.
