With John Calipari unable to visit Matthew Hurt, the UK head coach visited another talented big man.
Calipari and associate head coach Kenny Payne made their way to California for a visit with five-star center Makur Maker, he announced on Twitter:
Maker is rated as a five-star prospect by 247 Sports, where he is now the 13th-ranked overall recruit, the fifth-best prospect from the state of California, and the third-best center in the country for 2020. He plays at Orange Lutheran.
There has actually been speculation that the 7-foot, 235-pound Maker could reclassify into the 2019 class.
