Maka Ellis will play college basketball at Columbia.
Sierra Vista’s 6-foot-5 senior wing announced his commitment to the Lions and coach Jim Engles on Wednesday afternoon. His commitment is nonbinding and will not be official until he signs a national letter of intent.
The first signing period starts on Nov. 8.
