Alier Maluk, 6-foot-10 high school freshman, hears from Kentucky
Standing 6-foot-10 at just 15 years old, Alier Maluk is going to be a high-profile recruit for years to come. The Kentucky coaching staff is getting in on the action early.
According to multiple accounts and first reported by Kevin Daniels of PrepHoops, the Wildcats have reached out to Maluk. While there is no word on if an offer has come through from UK, Maluk has already received scholarships from LSU, Texas A&M, Seton Hall, and Pittsburgh while receiving interest from the likes of Florida State, Georgia, and Georgetown.
Maluk is picking up steam quickly on the recruiting trail.
Over the week at the D Rich TV camp, Alier Maluk excelled, showcasing his impressive handles and shooting touch for someone his size and at such a young age. After his performance is when several schools began to reach out, including UK.
According to Brad Everett of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Maluk is the cousin of current Denver Nuggets power forward Bol Bol, who played nine games at Oregon before getting drafted in the second round of the 2019 NBA Draft.
A class of 2025 forward, Maluk attends Imani Christian Academy in Bethel Park, PA. He won’t even play his first official game as a high school student until later this fall.
