2025 Recruiting: Agot Makeer

[yhun89]

ESPN reported on November 7 that "No. 4 Agot Makeer is looking at UConn, South Carolina, Michigan State and Kentucky." So, apparently Agot went from 6 finalists to 4 very recently with Duke and North Carolina getting dropped. Folks seem to think her announcement is this week. As an MSU fan and alum, I would be ecstatic if she chose the Spartans, but I would be very surprised if she did. It would be an enormous "get" for MSU's new head coach Fralick. Agot or no Agot, CF is off to a great start, taking over after Merchant retired last year, mid-season, for medical reasons.

Incredibly surprised she’s still looking at us. Maybe she’s waiting to see if Lara commits, since if she does, we’re out of scholarships (presumably, unless Caroline or Azzi move on which is highly unlikely)

i think if we have offers out to both somfai and makeer; it means we have space for both of them.

I don't think we get either. Don't think Agot ever made her trip to Storrs (think she's headed to South Carolina) and Somfai I think now is headed to Stanford.

There’s still hints Somfai wants us. Agot is 99% a SC commit. Lara seems to be 50-50 between us and Stanford.

We aren’t hearing anything like that on Agot on our end. I’m guessing Michigan State

I saw on twitter somewhere that Agot is announcing on the 17th, four days after Somfai. That could mean nothing or something, I don't know, but my guess is it's unrelated since she didn't visit. If on the other hand, there was only one spot left and that was reserved for Lara if she wanted it, Agot could be plan B if Lara doesn't come, but I doubt it.

I thought the same, but cutting your list by two schools and including a school you haven’t visited doesn’t make a ton of sense. I say we get both!

 

[Postie]

I would take Ainhoa Risacher over Agot in a heartbeat. I see she is listed as a player of interest. Do not know if she got an offer. I saw her game against USA national Junior team. She scored 20 points six two long arms all around game Jerzey Robinson try to take it down low and got her shot blocked. She got a rebound and threw a 3/4 Paige like pass on the money for a layup. Also, she has great bloodlines Her brother was the number one pick in the NBA draft last year Atlanta Hawks. Last week against the Knicks he had 33.

Do we know why Agot never made her official visit?

[darrell]

ESPN ranks Agot Makeer the ninth best player regardless of class.

 

[Zarathustra]

Dear Husky Nan, THANKS for the UPDATE! Z

 

[MilfordHusky]

Did Agot visit on October 25? She seems to be a SC lean. She'll announce over the weekend.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

We aren’t hearing anything like that on Agot on our end. I’m guessing Michigan State

When do we hear things on our end?

 

[MilfordHusky]

I believe that she will announce on Sunday.

Interesting that 247 has her with six finalists where ESPN note there are four.

I am surprised that in the new college environment more HS players aren't holding off on signing until they see what happens with the portal. The college landscape is very different on May15, than it is on Nov15. Not only are more coaches moving as ADs are actually looking for results, but transfers out and in change team make-ups.

I understand even signing something isn't final any more, but it does create more issues. If a player is pretty equally interested in 2 or more programs, why not wait?

Maybe it will become the trend but it's hard to say for a few more years at least. The COVID year situation has skewed things in my opinion. The new player compensation arrangement that will be implemented could also impact things too.

This is very interesting that she is now waiting after saying she would announce on Sunday. It sounds like something changed. From Uconn's standpoint a few theories seem more possible now. If Uconn thought Somfai was coming, and they thought that might be the last spot they would have, they might have indicated as much to Agot.

That scenario would be consistent with Agot, who called Uconn a dream school, scheduling her announcement after Somfai's on purpose, and cancelling a scheduled visit, fully expecting to announce another school after Somfai picked Uconn. If Lara's decision caught Uconn and Agot off guard, maybe we are back in play and perhaps that visit might come after all, and then she would make a decision..

Much speculation there I know, but given her cancellation of an announcement, something seemed to have changed, and I wonder if Lara's decision and roster availability had something to do with it. If we see another scheduled visit to Storrs anytime soon, I think we might get our hopes up, but if not I would go back to the consensus view that we are on the outside looking in.

I don’t think Somfai’s decision impacted Agot’s decision at all. When Somfai posted that she was going to announce soon, Agot responded on Ig, saying she already knew where Somfai was going. Given that there was no confirmation she was on campus for her OV a few weeks ago, I think we are no longer in play.

I don’t remember if she ever visited MSU or Kentucky, but if she does. She maybe looking for immediate playing time, than she would get at UConn or South Carolina.

I’m not buying this whole notion of recruits saying UConn is their dream school anymore. How many times have we been burned in the past thinking we had someone secured because they said this? Only to commit somewhere else

Brynn and Lara are the most recent ones to do this.

Unfortunately, it may be that some recruits are going to be concerned about how long Geno will be coaching when it comes to recruiting the '26 class and beyond........you can bet that there will be competing coaches who will be mentioning it.....

It has been reported Makeer has visited MSU twice, but believe they were both unofficials. She has been quoted in articles that she liked Coach Fralick's approach. Haven't read or heard anything about visits to Kentucky.

She also said that the coaching staff she has the best relationship with is MSU's. She also likes that MSU is closer to home (Toronto) than other schools, and she calls their facilities "Elite".
