4-star Chris Johnson is setting four official visits; Kentucky, Auburn are in contact
Chris Johnson is the 2023 On3 Consensus No. 38 ranked player. The 6-foot-4 point guard led his Houston Defenders program to a UAA Circuit Session 3 championship this weekend.
“I play hard, and I compete,” Johnson told On3. “I’ve worked on my shooting a lot and made myself a better three-level scorer. I’m a good defender. I try to have fun and win; I love winning. I’ll watch a lot of Bradley Beal and Ja Morant, how they use their athleticism, and they get to their spots.”
The quick-twitch lead guard announced in May he would be transferring to Montverde (FL) Academy has a handful of schools prioritizing him in recruitment. On3 caught up with Chris Johnson during UAA Circuit Session 3 to go in-depth about each of these schools.
“At the end of this month and into the first part of August,” Johnson said, “I’m going to get pretty hectic with visits. I’m setting with Kansas, Arkansas, Ole Miss, and Alabama.”
Johnson talks recruitment
Arkansas: “They got three McDonald’s All-Americans this year, and I know each of them. I like coach (Eric) Musselman. He has been recruiting me hard for the past year, and I just really like their program and what they are doing.”
Alabama: “It’s the guard play. I like what they do with their guards and push the ball in transition. They do a lot of things that fit what I can bring to the table for them.”
Ole Miss: “I have not watched them a lot, but one of my best friends, Amare Abram, is there. He has been telling me how much he likes it there and that I have to go check it out.”
Kansas: “It’s Kansas. They have created the blueprint. Knowing they want me that bad, it stands out. I was supposed to go on an official visit there the first week we could get out, but we couldn’t make the dates work. Knowing how much they want me there is a blessing.”
“Of the schools who haven’t offered, I’ve talked to Kentucky a little,” Johnson said. “Auburn has been around some too.”
In his words
“I’m going to be looking for a brotherhood,” Johnson said. “I want to into a program that will allow me to come in and compete. The location won’t matter, as long as they will let me get out there and play; that is all I can ask for.”

Season ticket renewals started today. There’s also a separate option for season ticket holders to opt in for tickets to the Gonzaga game.

I appreciate you noting the Gonzaga option - I didn’t see that when I renewed. Got that added.

At 6'3, most likely playing SG, he'll need to get more proactive with the ball.
He's not 6'3" in basketball terms. Hollinger was being a selective idiot and went with his height without shoes instead of his height with shoes (which are the standard listed heights for basketball). He's 6'5" by NBA standards.

Really?
I can't believe they measure a player without his shoes on!..makes no sense!

You're the king of missing the point. All NBA (and college) players have their listed height in shoes. Other than Keon Ellis, every prospect in Hollinger's rankings had their height listed in shoes. I don't care if it's listed in shoes or without them, but the criteria should be consistent with the NBA norm. Keon Ellis has normal NBA wing size at 6'5" (in shoes) or 6'3.5" (without shoes).

I was simply saying that I was surprised at the difference.
Looks like you could use a dose of Preparation H.

Posted on 7/13/22 at 8:46 am to McGregor
Go to buy tickets and then click basketball. There will then be an option to request CM Newton Classic tickets

In close games, recovering on defense to stop opponent fast breaks after a turnover can be the margin between victory and defeat.
These are the best teams at stopping fast breaks before they start & forcing tough shots when they do:

Love graphs like this but I wonder how much that correlated to winning. See good teams spread all over that graph but that could just mean those teams compensated in other areas to make up for it.

JD hooping today after a rough summer league. 22 pts and counting. 4/5 from 3, 2 reb, 4 ast, 2 TOV. 2 minutes into the 3rd.

Seems like same JD as here. Would be dogshit for 5 or 6 games then have one game where he looked like Jordan

Is he old enough to be one and done after the reclassification? If not that could be a big enough boost to get South Carolina into the NIT the next couple of years.

Finished with a 28pt/10ast double-double. Only 3 tov’s on 64 /67/100 splits.

He looked good. Hopefully this is the new him. I think his game is more suited for the NBA. The wider lane in the NBA should open the floor and give him more room to work.
