Kentucky remains in contact with Makur Maker

Kentucky remains in consistent contact with 2020 five-star center Makur Maker.

According to Adam Zagoria of ZagsBlog, Kentucky, along with UCLA, Memphis, and Howard, have all been “consistently” in touch with the 6-foot-11 center.

“Makur Maker has graduated from Pacific Academy (CA) and is now weighing his next move,” Zagoria said of his recent conversation with Maker’s guardian Ed Smith. “Kentucky, UCLA and Howard have been “consistently” in touch, while Memphis has also reached out. Auburn and Oregon have also been linked to Maker.”

Maker, the No. 17 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite Rankings, submitted his name in the 2020 NBA Draft, but left the door open for a potential move to the college ranks.
