Malik Monk, a 6-foot-3, 175-pound 2016 shooting guard out of Lepanto (AR) East Poinsett County High School, tripped to SMU unofficially on Friday.
His brother, Marcus Monk, told SNY.tv that a handful of schools are in the mix for Malik, ranked the No. 3 shooting guard in the Class of 2016 by 247 Sports.
Arkansas, Baylor, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Memphis, SMU and UConn are working the hardest, Marcus said.
“They all offered,” he said. “We have no visits scheduled. We’re not really in a hurry to start visiting. It’s still early in the process.”
A year ago, Arkansas Wings EYB coach Wes Swift praised Monk’s offensive skills to SNY.tv.
“I don’t know where you start when you talk about Malik offensively,” Swift told SNY.tv. “He can beat you right, he can beat you left, he has a smooth stroke from three, as well as a fantastic mid range game, and we’ve all seen how well he can finish. He has a lot of maturity for his age.”
