Them homecomings at HBCUs hit differently 🤧
Yeah tell that to Mr Covid19
What about education and resources?
duke of york says the dude who thinks he’s edgy causebhis username is duke of york idiot
I like this kid he seems like he’s got a good head on his shoulders I hope he goes far
He is a mvp now
I’m so happy...it’s about time top black athletes return to the schools that never discriminated against them and their people!!
Facts might as well build black Colleges
💯💯💯
@Sudhir Kakar Howard is low quality? lol
@Sudhir Kakar You don't know what you're talking about.
@Sudhir Kakar That's actually very inaccurate.
Statistically speaking, each minority graduate from an HBCU makes more money over their career than their minority counterpart at a non-HBCU and this happens for very specific reasons.
Mikey Williams is also considering an HBCU after high school
Is This True 💯
Malik Amir he tweeted it
HCBU? ... 😒..
Kur Lavish my bad . Typo. Good looking out. I’m out here looking dumb .lol
too much ego! he wants lights! hes not going to hbcu
This kid is going to be special.
I feel like Makur had more time to develop than his brother and cousin. He has a bit more versatility.
Like his cousin??lmao i still remember next phenom...and dude straigjt garbage now
I dont think so. Let him prove it first on the court. Like everyone have said, I also said that to Thon in the past. And he didnt live to the hype.
Adam--What? He's 7 ft and average 6 rebounds a game in high school.
@@Yesthatisme14 I agree man they act like he's gonna be the next Willis Reed.
I proud of this young man the the trend he is helping rejuvenize
Do your thing young man you just did something I wish more top prospects would do.
0-4 to start the season and lost to a D2 school by 14
Howard needs to land at least 1 other four or five star player to get to the Final Four
With Maker a few 3 Star players will get them deep into the Tournament
john KnowsSports .. let’s be honest there not likely going to the final 4 gotta be extremely lucky to even make it I think they gonna be in the sweet 16 they probably gonna be the first 4 in so they gotta get the 16 seed to even get into which is ridiculous tho If they win the meac tournament
They're not going anywhere near final 4. Top schools like Duke and Kentucky are loaded with 4 and 5 star players. Any team with superior talent(which will be a lot of teams) and a decent coach knows just key in on him. Double teams are going to be happening very often.
Homecoming weekend is like nothing else. I live in NC and one of my first recruiting trips was to NC A&T homecoming weekend and i will never forget it.
A&T and Central gone be the schools niggas want to go to hoop and play football g 💯
Aggie Pride!...
Sudhir Kakar Why does what black people do bother u so much?
NCCentralU🦅🦅🦅🦅 runs MEAC hoops!
Makur Maker Just became my hero😍 Wow wow wow! I’m so inspired can’t even put into words...the black community just woke up and America is about to be taught a lesson. I truly believe for change to start strategic decisions and selfless acts like this is the step.
Exactly you’re literally supporting segregation clown
@@ghostsamongus3370 If you didn't care, then you wouldn't be leaving this comment. You & I both know that if other so called black elite athletes follow his lead, then that would destroy those white colleges financially. Majority of their money comes from people watching them these young so called black men play sports.
nah howard 0-4 to start the season and lost to a D2 school by 14
At this time in human history.....with all the B.S. GOING ON, THIS WHOLE THING, WITH THIS YOUNG MAN, MAKES MY HEART SMILE.....GOOD LUCK AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY, AND IF HE WINS A DIV. 1 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.....OH MY GOD😃😉👌👍
0-4 to start the season and lost to a D2 school by 14
Welcome to the DMV bro, we would love to have you here!!
YOU KNOOOOW!!!!! 💯 Come oooooooon Mikey Williams!!!!!
To bad he didn't choose the REAL HU.
Cant wait to hear KG say he's gonna be a future mvp just like thon maker
I don’t no he might
Sharpshooter 02 I mean he might become a mvp one day 😂
Good for him. I wish him the best
I hope this starts a trend. North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina A&T State University, Florida A&M University, Jackson State University, Prairie View A&M University, North Carolina Central University, Albany State University, Morgan State University, Tennessee State University
Delaware State University
Bethune-Cookman University
My daughter got her bachelor's at Morgan State University
Florida Memorial University
NCCU
He's a humble Young guy with a great future
This young man has a good mental mindset...he will EXCELL mentally and physically...which will translate to financial success. Congrats and best of luck!
Homecoming is glamorous at HU. We recruit heavily via homecoming! He saw the gorgeous girls on campus and was like; hey I'm going to school here. My roommate looked like Halle Berry.
Finally!!!! Let’s keep it up💯
Go where should go... HBCU
Smart intelligent and humble..wish the best for this kid
Game changer
Good for First Take on having this be a story they talk about and have Makur on as a guest.
This guy is special, he really is
he trash
He’s a very intelligent young man and clearly sees himself as a leader and knows he’s a financial commodity that can positively impact the black community
He could make more impact by going to Duke or Kentucky, where he could develop his game and his body much better. Then he would be drafted higher and make a lot more money in the NBA. He could then give a lot of money to HBCUs and/or invest in businesses that create jobs in black communities.
A 7 footer choosing a low major could be disastrous to his professional future. He will get sub par coaching and training and play against terrible competition and very few players of his size, both in games and in practice.
He spirit and demeanor are so genuine he got a fan based of vibes he's wise beyond his years
Im so happy alot of these major schools Goin to be mad
This man making big boy moves
Powerful confidence. Very assured. Excited to see what this young man achieves in the near and distant future.
Howard is a good school
Great school one of the best HBCUs
@@coachdudesportstv howard or tuskegee whats better?
@@x-rayofficial4894 Morehouse and Howard are considered the top HBCUs
not at basketball
Howard University, DO NOT FAIL THIS MAN. Get him in a Fraternity, get him a REAL degree (not some stupid fine arts degree), get your alumni behind him, and give this man the results that will encourage athletes to make similar decisions.
1:03 He literally bent the rim. 😂😂😂😂😂
Young legend 🙌
Sometimes it takes a brother with direct roots from the motherland to show us the way
S/O to the young brother from him choosing a good school ain’t nothing like being around your own people and I know that he’s going to enjoy all of his experiences at a HBCU BELIEVE ME congratulations to him and may TMH blessing him and keep him healthy and successful 💯✊✊✊
Mann,this young man is well articulated.
WAY TO WALK THE TALK 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Take y’all talents to historically black schools black athletes
Yeah imagine Zion at Lincoln university, so much money being made that way
💯
Imagine being so woke you are advocating segregation lolol
@Jeriba Shigan HBCUs are not only for Blacks.
Swarthy One Harvard’s a black college
I'M SO HAPPY HE DID THIS AND I HOPE MORE BALL PLAYERS DECIDE TO GO THIS ROUTE!!!!! Let's Go Hampton Pirates!!!
So sophisticated for his age...
Im glad Max doubled back with that question!
HU, you know!!!
It’s about time they covered this young Hero
Let's build up or HBCUs!!! It's about time. Thank you for seeing the new standard young man. Salute ✌🏾
Mike korzemba gonna make a video on this dude 😂
fanboy
Korzemba still making videos? He weak
Stephen curry BUT 7 FEET TALL!!!
Andrew Pogue lmfao
I’m proud of my brother. ✊🏿❤️
homecoming blew him away. nuff said!
Smart man
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
BRAVO
LET’s GO!!
I would love to see Howard go the same route as Gonzaga did for their basketball program. Gonzaga back in the day was a no name school for basketball. Now they're a reputable program.
God bless you bro
✊🏾... The Beginning
nope howard sucks
HBCU to the NBA what a beautiful thing!
Dope!!!!!!!!
he was number 2 on espn this year then fell cause he was planning to go to the nba and then undeicded UK and now back here dropped his stock but he gonna rise
He was never that high
He was the number 20 ranked recruit in the country.
Yeah he was highly ranked
He gets it!
We love the move fam!
Very mature kid!
Good luck to the kid. The talent is there
I think this really benefits NCAA being that the G League was ready to start taking some five star recruits
I can see both sides. I feel like everyone will respect those who choose to go to HBCUs for college ball, but I personally believe that only 4 and 5 star recruits can really make that the wave. And even then, if you're a 5 star player, chances are you wanna go to the G league and get paid depending on your financial situation.
Instant fan
Rumble young man rumble!!!!
This guy's game is NICE.
I'm very proud of you good choice!
Reminds me of a bigger Jaren Jackson Jr for his play style
We definitely appreciate this young man I love the fact that he’s African as well
Anyone else see the person running in the backyard😂
Happy he picked a HBCU but I think max brought up a good point I hope someone does choose to stay more than a year to help set a trend
History as we speak
Lets gooooooo
Welcome to the Bison family.💙❤️
this guy used to go to my school.
The best thing he did was go to college cus he was thinking of going straight to the league
Good job buddy
The pressure is on those other players on Howard basketball roster! Playing with this guy is going to make the game so easy, They better not be looking like trash on the floor!
Very articulate
💪🏽
he only gonna be on campus for like 6 months. Plus the runs in the DMV are top notch
I love his decision@! I think it is very wise too....Howard Univ has me looking for tickets!
Won't be hard to find ticket for a Howard bb game.
Lets see how these colleges and gm for the nba react on draft day
It doesn’t matter where a five-star recruit goes until he/she gets paid..
your mom said im a 5star recruit
Lord, bless this young man!
🏀🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾
I hope he’s got a better jumping side kick
I went Howard, and had to transfer back to a large state school (mostly white) for a serious surgery. The white school had more resources and was actually ranked in terms of business schools - but the environment at Howard was just so much more competitive academically - a completely different student mindset.
Boi I want him and thon to come to Washington so bad dawg
South Sudan 🇸🇸
Awesome move by this young man. I hope more top black players go to HBCUs. And trust, the NBA scouts WILL come to you.
who is this new host, let molly stay home from now on.
I like Molly. Let's stop with the canceling everybody. They got Hollins out already and that was right.
@@jvadoptante what happened to will cain?
Molly ain’t no Rachel Nichols but she is not as bad as people say for example look at all the stupid people on ESPN like Ryan or Pierce or Dominic
jvadoptante Nice try Molly. The burner accounts are back at it😂
@@hittman23 he went to fox news
Seems like a great kid
Making history. Love it. NBA will have to support n pay our black colleges and etc. he’s doing the right thing. Big ups.. all should go. And this should be the new move for all black athletes facts!!!
You notice he said, “come back to get a degree”.
Son issa beast...
Nice young man!
✊🏾✊🏾
He should stay 2 Seasons to bring more attention to Howard and the potential that a 5 Star going to an HBCU brings
(Max was alluding to)
Ard no, the point of college is to become a professional and in sure he'll be up to par after 1 year this isnt time to lolly gag
If he can turn that 4-29 record around in one year, one and done would be good enough.
jlv3x if he dose that his draft stock will sky rocket
One and done will be over soon so college numbers are gonna drop.
Bobby D. What do you mean one in done will be over
brother from Sudan .
Seems like a smart kid, "I like em"(thanos voice)
