Does the school want to extend him? Does another school want to hire him? Is he waiting for another domino to fall?
It is fairly common to take a job opening and use it to get a raise or extension at your current job. Look at what happened with Nolan Smith. Last summer, he was a serious candidate to join Penny Hardaway at Memphis. He was given a strong counter from the Duke coaching staff and now he's an assistant.
I think the PBJ ship sailed for Duke a while ago. That's all well and good as the roster at wing/forward is more than well-stocked. Between Baker, Moore, Griffin, and Keels, that's about the best collection of talent you'll find in the college game next season. The most likely landing spot for Patrick Baldwin Jr is to anchor down with his dad. It's his dad that is still out at sea.
