Scouting Info:
ESPN.com,, "Johnson has that quintessential frame for the 2 or the 3 and the skills as well. He can stroke it from deep and he gets great lift and rotation on his shot. In addition, he has a terrific burst off the dribble and can slash his way to the basket exhibiting excellent body control. Johnson is one of the elite scoring guard prospects in the country. If he is willing to improve his all-around game (rebounding, defense, making others better) he should be an excellent Division I player."


Demarquise is one of those players who is just now starting to get some national attention. He will continue to rise in the rankings, as evidenced by ESPN.com having his ranked so much higher than Rivals.com and Scout.com doesn't even really have him on their radar. He has started to get the attention of Sean Miller at Arizona and UCLA as well, those may be the two toughest competitors for his services for the Zags. Many are questioning why the Zags offered Quise, but i really think we need to go after as many high end players as possible, we can let the rest work itself out later. Quise has a nice tough on his shot and is a great slasher, one of the better athletes in the west.
