Yea he looks crazy good on mixtape and he is a special talent but he is still very raw.

He is a sure fire pro baring any injury but he gets pushed around a lot down low and isn't as skilled on the perimeter as this video makes him out to be. He has 0 chance of going to St. John's.

His recruitment will drag out too.
Dave - do you think UVa has a shot, or will it be Puke,Heels,Kentucky,Indiana,etc?

No to UVA, Duke, Indiana, Tar Heels, or Kentucky.

I think I'd lean more towards Kansas as an early prediction. Baylor or UCLA is possible too.
Ebiid's progress sure doesn't hurt Kansas.  I'll be pissed if Baylor gets him.  Still cannot see the magic of Waco or Drew....Think Zona will work its way in somehow?

Wow.  Little bit of a KD/KG combo.  First comp that came to mind.

Exact comp I thought of
*wipes ketchup from his eyes* - I guess Heinz sight isn’t 20/20.

Someone needs to trademark "Prepare to meet your Maker" now for when this kid hits it BIG.  He's the most Durant-like player I've seen (at least from that short clip).
"I drink and I know things"

Well then he better hope he dorsn't have to play against us cause ADR will put him in his hip pocket!  :)  Didn't this kid have a cousin who played in the NBA, Von Baker?  :)

Saw that Hurley is the favorite now. That would be crazy for him to get Maker after getting in so late.

Hurley is a coach. Not a 16 year old boy.

Not sure how I called Hurley a 16 year old boy. Just meant the guy came from Bufallo where he wasn't involved and got hired at ASU probably around a month ago. And now he's close to landing a guy that had  the elite of college basketball on him.  Maybe I'm slow on the uptake but please let me know how I called a 16 year old so I don't  get your panties in a twist in the future

Holy crap is right.  I saw LeBron and KD play in high school and this guy is ahead of where they were. He still has one year left in HS.  And he's from overseas.  Can you imagine the potential?  I'd like to see him concentrate on his inside game first, because I think he can get more physically strong.  A guaranteed one and doner .

Exact comp I thought of

I didn't say you did. I'm calling any recruit who chooses based on the amount attention he gets a 16 year old girl.

Well then.

I have a hunch this one has Slice written all over it. 

If we can pull this off, it would be major.  Major!  I had the chance to see him in person during summer of '14.  As, most of you know, he's a monster.   

EDIT:  Well, I might be on to something....

Here's an interesting one: St. John's assistant coach Slice Rohrssen went to see Thon Maker today, per Maker's guardian Ed Smith.
