This conversation has been started and will be interesting to see if others follow.
Even if he plays 1 year & jumps to NBA, wonder how this will play out, and will it start to affect football where money talks???

Might get a few one and done type basketball players, but this won’t be a lasting trend.
What is the conversation?
Will be interesting to see if anyone, or how many follow. A quick google search shows Howard’s entire basketball budget is just over a million dollars a year. Call me skeptical.
Howard is a big-time academics school, sort of like Duke, Vandy, Georgetown, etc. No matter how crappy their record has been the last few (or many) years, it will be interesting to see if their administration puts up with a basketball staff that hires a string of one-and-done star players, whether the staff was hired to find a "new direction" or not. Of course it will take a few years to see how that plays out. Mr. Maker could be the last one-and-done for the program, too.

I wonder if Makur's mark will be left on college basketball.

Howard is an elite HBCU school. Nothing I can find seems to indicate it ranks anywhere near Duke, Vandy, et al. If going by US News ranking alone, it is 104 7 seven below TCU.
Welp, that settles it. No one argues with the gospel of USNWR rankings.
Because he posted it on the internet. Must be true.I understand, but it was the only thing I can find on Howard’s academic standing. What’s your source. Not saying there isn’t, I just couldn’t find anything that indicates Howard is on par with the schools you cited.
I think he meant to say it is the Harvard/Duke/Yale/whatever of HBCUs, not equivalent to those schools.I understand, but it was the only thing I can find on Howard’s academic standing.
