I really like Baldwin's game. Has a beautiful jumper, especially mid range pull up. Very fundamentally sound, and looks like he has a lot of swag.

He looks like he has great size, plays physical and handles pretty well but not sure on the speed and quickness..........there's a reason a kid who looks that good in highlights doesn't have any real big names on his list thus far.......not sure what it is.........he hasn't missed from what I can see!! lol

By the way the charge he took at the 3 minute mark was an awful call.......

Any kid that misses in a highlight video SUCKS!! lol

I've not seen a kid miss in a highlight video yet, unless he rebounds a miss for a highlight dunk!
I look for videos having multiple highlights against the same team, plus if there is footage showing skills outside the spectacular, such has dribbling, passing & defending. YouTube really does a lot of these kids a disservice by making a lot of them looking better than they are, but some show they are better than advertised.... ie, you can't recruit off YouTube! This is today's reality of recruiting...

I agree with everyone, that you can't judge based on a YT video. But... Uconn is showing interest, and it is the only way for outsiders like us to get a sneak peak at a kid's game. And honestly I have been able to judge fairly well based on YT videos so far.

I remember being worried about Darius Smith and Jamaal Trice based on their videos, and turns it that was warranted. However, I remember being slightly worried about Jeremy Lamb's potential impact based on video evidence, but there was no reason for that obviously.

Anyway, it's not the best way to judge, but at least for outsiders like us, it's a way, and it gives us something to do, and look forward too.

Quadri Moore is a consensus top 100 kid and top 10 center. With 4-5 more scholarships to burn sign me up

Baldwin a good option depending on what happens with Perkins.
