Five-star basketball recruit Patrick Baldwin 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.

When was the last time the top basketball recruit in the City of Milwaukee did not go to MU?

MU should schedule a game vs UWM this year because of this.

Um...every year since 2013?

I have to assume you meant to include "and stayed in Milwaukee."

I had a glimmer of hope he'd come to MU, but I assume the only way he was staying in Milwaukee was at a school his dad was the head coach.

Are we the third ticket in town next year?

No, UWM will still suck, playing teams that aren't a draw, in a bad gym.

[RubyWiscy]

Great for UWM. Hope they get a few players to complement and become relevant again...for a few years anyway. Yes, time to schedule vs. MU.

[slack00]

Good for PBJ.  His success or failure depends so much more on other factors rather than where he attends college next year.  He'll have memories from this coming year for the rest of his life.

[BCHoopster]

This will save Baldwins job for 2 more years, good for him, good for there program.  It was fun when Pearl got the team to the tourney.

Exactly. One of the local radio guys said this is "the biggest thing to happen for basketball in the city in years."

My eyes rolled so hard I almost crashed the car.

LOL. Not even the biggest thing in college basketball this year, much less multiple. And Giannis is perennially bigger than anything else in the state.

Pass. Does nothing for us.

[The Sultan]

Honestly this is really good for UWM.  Hopefully they can use it to turn around their program a little, but my guess is that it will end up simply being a flash in the pan like McCallum at Detroit Mercy.

Steele just tweeted that MU's schedule was "done and dusted" months ago and UWM is not on it.

Wow!  You're expecting the crowd size to double to this amount?

I'd anticipate some buzz for UWM and some increased fan support. Their alumni base is very big in the area and I'm sure it will bring some students out. I remember kids in my high school going down to the Horizon League tournament when Pearl was coaching. I'm sure students on campus would turn out in the beginning.

[CountryRoads]

No thanks on a game with them. Especially after what they pulled last time with the ticket situation at their place. They didn't sell individual tickets for the MU game and made you buy like a 5 game pack if I recall correctly. Oh and the place was empty for the game.

Did Baldwin Sr do anything to capitalize on his son playing there?  They lost their 2nd leading scorer.  They've added a role player from USF.  They didn't schedule MU.  It's May 11th...is going 14-16 and making the Horizon Semi's going to be that great?
