He really 6-9? As a 2024?

Johnson has 2-3" on EJ. I think ultimately Johnson will have a higher ceiling, but there's almost no chance he'll match Liddell's HS career (Johnson's team is flippin' loaded).
Think he’s bigger than EJ. EJ is 6’5 on a good day and Feldman claims MJ is 6’9 and he looks every bit of it the most recent video he posted.
When I saw this signing on Tweeter my first thought was “is Nov 5 national practical joke day?” Talk about coming out of the blue. This guy talking up Illinois for 2+ years has to help future recruiting too.

A Ty Rodgers chaser would be pretty great right now.

That doesn't sound good though.
I updated it
That is much better.

Wow!
For a sophomore, he is built, has a nice looking jump shot, and has a good handle on the ball. Then add in he's 6/9 and 220 right now.
It seems the best players we get are the ones with no rumors, or hype. BU and staff keep it up, and it looks like we'll be around the top of the B10 for a while
For what little it's worth... Rodgers liked Johnson's commitment tweet.

No idea if Johnson wants to, but his physique and athleticism makes him a viable reclassification candidate.

I realize that this is in jest, but it isn't really like that.
Reina is the point guard. Smart kid, plays with a lot of control. James Brown has the big reputation, highly ranked big man, rebounder and shot blocker. I haven't seen Johnson play live, but ill be in the gym this year. They have so much young talent a few of the freshman kids from last year already transferred out and are playing at other schools. I hope the St Rita pipeline bursts open and all of the current kids stay put. I would say they have the most young talent in the area. Even more than Kenwood. Kenwood just took that big loss last week with Taylor leaving.

Someones paying attention it seems.....promising!For what little it's worth... Rodgers liked Johnson's commitment tweet.
That's a big statement for TA right? Who else is in the Meanstreets program that we are after?
Ty Rodgers and the other two kids in Johnson's class.
