BREAKING NEWS: Agot Makeer Stays Committed to South Carolina Despite Texas Push.
In a major development in the college basketball recruiting world, Agot Makeer, one of the most coveted players in the 2025 class, has reaffirmed his commitment to the University of South Carolina despite significant interest from the University of Texas. The 6’9″ forward from Omaha, Nebraska, had been the subject of a recruiting battle between several top programs, but Makeer’s decision to stay loyal to the Gamecocks highlights the program’s growing strength under head coach Lamont Paris.
Sources close to Makeer indicate that while Texas made a strong push in recent weeks, including an official visit and meetings with Longhorns staff, the decision to remain with South Carolina was driven by his trust in the coaching staff and the strong relationships he has built with the Gamecocks. Makeer’s commitment to South Carolina dates back to the summer of 2024, when he was impressed by the program’s vision for his role on the team and its potential for success in the SEC.
Despite the allure of Texas, which has been a perennial powerhouse in college basketball, Makeer’s decision underscores the appeal of South Carolina’s developmental approach. Known for his versatility on both ends of the floor, Makeer will play a pivotal role for the Gamecocks in the coming seasons, with many experts projecting him as a future NBA prospect.
South Carolina fans can now breathe a sigh of relief, as Makeer’s continued commitment solidifies the team’s already strong 2025 recruiting class. With Makeer on board, the Gamecocks are poised to make noise in the SEC and build momentum toward future success.
For Texas, the news is a setback, but they remain a top contender for other high-profile recruits in this cycle.
