How huge of a pickup would that be? I guess Kelsey is making last ditch efforts to bring him on. This kid could help immediately.

Talent is talent, but I'd be happier if our coaching staff could score some PF help this summer, which looks unlikely.

you gotta be kiddin, our biggest gap is SF. X has no one over 6'5" that can shoot outside of 5 ft. with any consistency. This kid would get immediate PT if he is as good as advertised.

I think most of us see DJ as the starter at SF, and I think Crawford could even spend some time there. If Mack's willing to tinker with a 4-guard offense, he could certainly go with a 3-guard offense.
If McLean is unavailable for any reason, we are screwed at PF. Absolutely screwed.

Without a doubt, Johnson would be a huge pickup. However, I'd be surprised if we landed him. Have faith in Kelsey, but it might be next to impossible to lure him this away from UNLV etc.

This would be a great get for the new staff. Here's video from YouTube:

Obviously he has size at 6'7" and that's something we need. But he can shoot it - it looks effortless too - and his all-around game seems very, very good. Apparently he can even handle the rock, something that's not true of all guys with his height. (Yes, I realize you can't take too much from a highlight video, but watch it and you'll see what I'm getting at, especially the shooting part.)
I would love to see this kid suiting up for X next season.

Any reason given about his backing out of his signing with USC?
