Recruit interested in Portland

January, 2010: Johnson is one of the better unsigned seniors in California and he's one of its most improved prospects as well. For three seasons he's been a solid blue-collar wing-type with a questionable jump shot. However, since the summer evaluation period he has definitely sharpened up his stroke. He gets nice lift on his jump shot and his release has become much smoother. He can nail it off the catch or hit the mid-range pull-up. He isn't overly explosive, but he has a knack of slashing to the basket. Defensively, he has solid lateral quickness and possesses the desire to shut down his opponent. Overall, look for Johnson to get heavily recruited at the mid-major level the next couple of months.

December, 2009: Johnson has always played with a high motor since his freshmen season and now his skills are catching up to that highly coveted energy level. He has improved in all facets of the game in the past few seasons, especially shooting. In the past he was always a tremendous slasher, rebounder, and defender-now he is showing signs of becoming a consistent shooter. He knocked down a number of mid-range jump shots, and a few threes as well. He is very potent at attacking the basket and he can really score in the mid-range area. Look for Johnson to end up in a mid-major program somewhere along the west coast during the spring signing period.

December, 2008: Johnson is one of the top sleepers in the west coast class of 2010. He is a rangy athlete with long arms and he has some bounce to him as well. His game is best described as blue-collar. He is that quintessential glue-type that does all the little things that makes his team successful. He is an outstanding rebounder who has the ability to lead the fast-break and deliver a nifty assist. He gets great lift on his jump shot and his release looks smooth, but his shot is shaky at best. Defensively, he utilizes his long arms and savvy to shut down opponents and his demeanor is outstanding.

November, 2007: Johnson is one of the more talented two-guard prospects in the west for his class. His frame is chiseled and he utilizes it well when taking defenders off the drive. He's a solid athlete with good quickness and speed, but strength is his major asset. His ball skills are better than average and he uses his left very well while finishing. His forte is slashing to the basket and once he gets a consistent jump shot (flat in its trajectory), he is going to be tough to stop. His court demeanor is excellent and he plays hard at both ends - has all the intangibles (quickness, length, and tenacity) to be a devastating defender one day.

Johnson has offers from the University of the Pacific, University of Portland and UC Riverside. He said he’s also going on official visits to Oregon and USC later this month.
