A deeper thought into the COMMITTMENT of 5-star recruit Makur Maker

Five-star basketball recruit Makur Maker has committed to Howard University. Really. Maker chose Howard over UCLA, Kentucky, Memphis, and others.

At around 4 a.m. this morning, Maker Tweeted: “I was the 1st to announce my visit to Howard & other started to dream ‘what if.’ I need to make the HBCU movement real so that others will follow. I hope I inspire guys like Mikey Williams to join me on this journey. I am committing to Howard U & coach Kenny Blakeney.”

Donal Ware takes a deeper dive into Makers’ committment announcement, talks about HBCUs recruiting top-tier athletes, revisits his thoughts on the formation of an HBCU superconference, and gives some perspective on why Black athletes ashould return to HBCUs.
