6'11 Point Center Makur Maker. Can come to college in 2019 or 2020. Currently has 3.3 GPA and needs qualifying test score:
Cousin of Thon Maker. 5-star talent.
Cousin of Thon Maker. 5-star talent.
UCLA has offered. 247 has him as 2020.
I'm kinda surprised DJ Rodman hasn't gotten more interest. He's a 6'6 wing who can score. Yes, he is Dennis Rodman's son. I would think some high major school would take a flyer.
Can someone remind me of what the deal with PJ Tucker leaving the state was way back in the day? This talk of undersized dudes had me thinking, and I saw him in the NBA the other day, and I thought, shit, that guy might have won us a National Championship. Was it grades/qualifying? Was he going to State? Were we even in consideration?
Wasn't there another Maker we were involved with? Does his bro have a similar name?
Thanks for the indulgence to the slight diversion.
Thon's younger brother is Matur. I believe we offered but he put his name in for the NBA draft and then never went to college. Makur is their 1st cousin, might be the best of all 3.
Not Wake related (though I would love to somehow poach this kid from ECU), but what's the deal with Jayden Gardner? He was an unranked recruit from Wake Forest, NC, had a very productive high school career, and only had an offer from ECU? He is now a freshman and put up 35 pts 20 rebs against UCF and is averaging 20 and 10 so far. Does anyone know why he was so under-the-radar?
Quick NC recruiting question:
What is/was the recruiting deal with ECU freshman Jayden Gardner from Wake Forest , NC went to Heritage HS. He is f-ing unstoppable. He is 6-6 245: https://ecupirates.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=9894
As a frosh he is leading ECU in scoring at 19.4 ppg and rebounding at 9.5 rbg. Scored 35 and had 20 rebounds at a very good UCF team on Saturday; dominating Tacko Fall. Gardner has scored 30 or more 3 times. He is one of the best freshman in the country.
Was Gardner not on the recruiting radar for any ACC teams because he is 6-6 inside player? Love his size and aggressiveness. Guessing he will transfer to State and at some point and fill it up for the Pack.
Here is the link to Gardner's 247 recruiting profile: https://247sports.com/Player/Jayden-Gardner-46040056/high-school-191407/
Offered by ECU, App, Campbell, Canisius and Charleston.
Gardner was the #387 player nationally and the #18 player in NC (two spots ahead of Michael Wynn).
Then he'd be a perfect fit here. We're all about some diploma factories and barely qualifiers these days.probably because he went to some made up school called Heritage HS
Did you see him jump over the opponent on D? WHOA!!!!
