Two kids in the 2021 in-state class - Baldwin Jr. and Foster - have a chance to be some of the best in the country.
BALDWIN JR. & FOSTER TRACK AS ELITE
Throughout the day, it was a battle between Patrick Baldwin Jr.
and Michael Foster that was worthy of the price of admission. While it may be a bit early in the process, the two members of the 2021 class showed tremendous potential as high-level college prospects.
Baldwin Jr., the son of Wisconsin-Milwaukee first-year head coach Pat Baldwin, is a tremendously skilled 6-foot-7 small forward who is eerily similar to a younger Michael Porter Jr.
, the top-ranked player in the 2017 class. Granted, those are giant expectations to place on a high school freshman, but at this stage the super-talented wing is the ideal position-less ballplayer in today’s game who can act as a playmaking agent where his feel, passing skills and decision-making abilities remain top notch. Not a super bouncy athlete, Baldwin Jr. is tracking as one of the best in his class nationally.
While Baldwin Jr.'s game is more about skill and finesse, Foster’s play is highlighted by his versatility in the frontcourt, toughness around the basket and intimidating skills in the lane. The most efficient player at the event while also the top rebounder and shot-blocker, Foster remains a relative unknown. The native of Mississippi has been playing the game for just over a year, but expect a bevy of high-major offers to roll in any day now as Foster, just like Baldwin Jr., tracks as an elite recruit.
