‘A great teammate.’ Kentucky basketball target from Canada on the rise in class of 2025.

On the Fourth of July, just days ahead of the start of Nike Nationals in Chicago, Ontario-based Agot Makeer tweeted that she had received a scholarship offer from UK women’s basketball.

“(Assistant coach Jennifer Hoover) DM’d me on Twitter,” Makeer said. “She said she saw me playing in my previous tournaments when I was playing 16U. And then she just said, ‘Can you give me a call?’ I did. And she said they’d love to offer me and have me down in Kentucky wearing blue.”

Originally from Fargo, N.D., but raised in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Makeer is a 6-foot-1 guard who’s also reported Division I offers from Dayton, Iowa State, Marquette, Memphis, Miami (Fla.), Michigan, Michigan State, South Florida and Wisconsin.

Makeer isn’t the first Canadian player to grab Kentucky head coach Kyra Elzy’s attention. This past season, Buffalo graduate transfer Adebola Adeyeye — who hails from Brampton, Ontario — played in all 31 games and made 12 starts for the Wildcats.

Makeer, who named both Kevin Durant and Steph Curry as influences on her game, cited positionless play when asked what sets her apart.

“I think my strength and what makes me different is my versatility,” Makeer said. “I can play one through five and can guard one through five. So I think it’s just me being able to do different stuff on the court.”

During her sophomore year with St. Ignatius, Makeer helped lead the Falcons to a 12-0 regular season before a heartbreaking 63-57 loss to rival Hammarskjold in the Superior Secondary Schools Athletic Association championship game.

Her goal is to play for Team Canada but, due to her being born in North Dakota, she’ll have to wait until next year when she’s eligible to become a Canadian citizen.

Though Makeer isn’t currently ranked in the espnW top 100 for the class of 2025, she’s considered by many to be a fast-riser as she continues to impress on the EYBL circuit for Kia Nurse Elite.

According to Kia Nurse program director and U17 coach Richard Nurse, Makeer’s strengths as a player lie in “her size, her length and her intelligence in the game.” He also called her a great teammate.

“She talks, she communicates with the athletes. She plays well, she’s always helping all her teammates out.”

Makeer said she makes that a priority.

“I try to be a positive leader,” Makeer said. “Lead by example. Make sure everyone’s on the right track, and I hold myself with confidence and positivity.”
