BASKETBALL CAMP 

 ALL-MET ELITE

 

CARLISLE HS.

MARTINSVILLE VA.

 

Thon Maker a rising sophomore is a chiseled basketball specimen with a body well ahead of his years. The 7-foot 16 year old just completed his freshman year at the Carlisle School in Martinsville (VA) and never looked out of place on the court with some of the elite players in the country, many two years older than the native of Sudan who has spent the majority of his life in Australia before coming to the U.S. in 2011.

 Maker possesses an intimidating wing span, despite a thin frame he is more than willing to bang in the post, but as he continues to mature physically he will only get stronger…and better. Still raw offensively as he has only been playing organized basketball a few years after mainly being a soccer player down under. College coaches are drooling over his potential.

“MARYLAND, GEORGETOWN, KANSAS, and a few others,” said Maker of his recruitment, quickly adding that he was not currently too involved in the recruiting process as things are very early in the process. He mentioned his guardian, Edward Smith, knew all of the schools in the process. A recent Zagsblog article on Maker also mentioned KENTUCKY showing interest and offers from ARIZONA, LSU, MEMPHIS, MIAMI, NORTH CAROLINA STATE, OHIO STATE and VIRGINIA in addition to the trio Maker mentioned himself.
