Scouting Info:
ESPN.com, "The left-handed Johnson has improved in many areas of the game. He plays with great energy at both ends and he can score in a variety of ways. He can face-up his defender and he has a quick 1st step to the basket. Johnson has now become a fairly consistent 3-point shooter. He overall shot has become much softer and as a result much more consistent. He is very potent as well when he chooses to attack off the dribble and use his length and bounce at the rim. Smooth wing that can score on the break and in the half court by getting to the rim and taking advantage of his size or showing off his nice middle game. Johnson finds a way to use his strengths to be productive. He must be more effective on the offensive glass. Due to his work ethic and physical attributes look for Johnson to climb the recruiting charts during the up and coming spring (2011) evaluation period."
Scout.com,"Long, slender lefty with big-time body and athleticism. Highly skilled, excellent feel for the game. One of the elite prospects in the country for 2012."
Xavier is one of the premier athletes on the West coast. He is being heavily recruited by the LA schools and may end up signing with one of them soon. Donny Daniels has been linked to Xavier and may try to put a wrench in his former teams plans by making Gonzaga a player. He is also being recruited by most of the PAC-12, MWC, and BIG EAST.
