Center Makur Maker, a five-star prospect, says he will attend Howard University, a historically Black college in Washington, after considering UCLA.
Under Armour has informed UCLA that it wants to terminate the $280-million deal the apparel maker signed with the school in 2016.
Maker, who lives in Yorba Linda, planned on showcasing his talents for the NBA during the draft combine and in workouts for individual teams. But those events were canceled because of the“UCLA’s leading right now ,” Maker told The Times. “UCLA would be a great fit for me. It’s in my backyard. It’s right near my house, only about an hour’s drive.
For now, Maker has chosen to play for Howard, a private university in Washington, D.C. The Bison play in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Eligible prospects have until Aug. 17 to decide whether to stay in the NBA draft, which will be held in October.
