Thon Maker Visits Louisville; Ferguson Has Louisville in Top 3
Two days after visiting Kentucky for their win over Providence, Thon and Matur Maker visited Louisville Tuesday night for the No. 5 Cardinals’ 64-55 victory over No. 14 Ohio State in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
The visit was confirmed by Orangeville Prep coach Larry Blunt.
Matur Maker is a 6-10 2017 forward, while the 7-foot Thon Maker will decide by January whether to reclass to 2015 from 2016.
Thon is considering Louisville, Kentucky, Kansas, Duke and Indiana, among others.
Meantime, Terrance Ferguson, a 6-7 2016 shooting guard from Dallas (TX) Prime Prep who also visited Louisville Tuesday, listed his top three as Baylor, Louisville and Arizona when talking with the Louisville Courier-Journal.
“Baylor, I’ve been watching them for the past three years, and I like the coaching system,” Ferguson told the paper. “They have great coaches. Louisville, obviously they have great coaches as well and a long history behind the school name. … And Arizona, their fan base is crazy, and I’d love to play down there also.”
