Baldwin out at Milwaukee
- Thread starter lou v
- Start date
Would PBJ's skill set mesh with our team? If so, is there a chance of getting father and son back in Evanston? I am reading a long article in The Athletic on Wake Forest's success on the court this year. Their coaching staff appears to have used the transfer portal quite well to resurrect a moribund program.
I think the question related to the alleged rumor of PBJ heading to Madison, not to the fact that PBS got fired.
Forget that. Why would he want to come play for a team that has proven to not know how to win? He'd be adding a mistake to the one he made last year
If I were a betting man, since he is still projected as a first-round pick, I would wager that PBJ will be going pro. Why risk another season with a possible injury for his stock to drop out of the first round? A first-round pick comes with guarantees.
Bleacher Report has him at No.24 to the Nets.
Wouldn't mind Borovich being shown the door, not sure what he's brought to the team at all since he arrived 3 years ago.
Yeah, all the projections I've seen still have him as a first-rounder. I presume the scouts still see something they like. Why jeopardize that with another season in college?
Love to have Dad back on the staff, but not sure about PBJ. Do we really need another long, thin, soft player that can’t compete under the basket with the men of the B1G?
we need to get Ryan Young more help. PBJ isn’t it, IMHO.

You know we’re in a bad spot when UWM is more willing to find a winner than we are.
They gave PB only 5 years and cut him loose after realizing it wasn’t going to work. None of the cushion we give people at NU.
It’s now been 5 years since we made it to the NCAA (for the first time ever…). Let’s see where it plays out from here, maybe?
Don't think he showed anything this year that indicates he is a sure first rounder. He might need to show something
PBJ was solid as an assistant but not so much as HCTHe staff that CCC had was pretty good at the time but has been pretty lackluster since. Not sure if it was the loss of PBS or something else but maybe worth finding out
Were you able to watch a full game of Baldwin Jr. this year?
I ask because I thought it was abundantly clear he was the highest calibre athlete on the floor in all of his games, including the 2nd half obliteration at the hands of Florida. It is true PBJ didn’t put up crazy numbers in many contests, but it is important to consider there was so much put on his plate as a true freshman. Add in the fact he and coming off a fairly sizable injury sustained earlier in 2021 and it’s not surprising he struggled.
NU would be estatic to land PBJ if he were to return to college and hit the portal. Just the discussing a sceanrio where both the Baldwins return to Evanston should excite us all, because I think it’s much more likely the younger Baldwin is walking across the draft stage relatively early on June 23rd.

I cannot imagine a scenario in which a heretofore presumed lottery pick would want to rehabilitate his reputation by playing for CCC. If he decides on another year of college, he will do the Brandon Joseph route and go to Top 10 team.
Definitely unlikely, but not impossible if he doesn’t get the feedback he’s hoping in the pre-draft process and wants to follow his dad. I wouldn’t completely dismiss their connection to Evanston. It’s strong.
Baldwin Jr. has the type of game/body combined with age that would allow him to improve his draft stock with improved play as a sophomore. This, of course, assumes he hears back that the league views him as a late first/early 2nd round prospect (which is probably not the case).

CCC was his third choice last year, so it’s within the realm of possibility. Downside for him is that he plays the same game as Nance, so he’d have to be a center at NU.
Not really, because we'd have 3 other centers on the roster, including Young, Hunger and you-know-who.
There are a million reasons why not. There is only one reason why yes: an irrational attachment to the institution
Yes, this roster is oozing with potential first round talent. Just got to get them on the court.Lol. We’re so stacked that we can turn away first-round talent
DeAndre Gholsten, probably UM's best player, is transferring to Mizzou......

Correct. Armon Gates is assumed to be joining the staff too obviously. I don’t think there’s anything confirmed just reading what seem like clear signs
