Makur Maker, a five-star prospect in the class of 2020, committing to Howard was a shock to most of the collegiate basketball world. For some, they see it as the start of a possible trend. Drew Franklin touched on this earlier today, but now betting money is getting involved.
Kristian Winfield, who covers the Brooklyn Nets for the New York Daily News, posted to Twitter soon after Maker’s commitment, stating that Bovada oddsmakers have told him another high-profile prospect is going to be in the running to attend a Historically Black College and University: the son of Los Angeles Laker superstar LeBron James, Bronny James.
