    Scout has Isaiah Johnson listed as follows:
    Center, 6'9", 250lbs, Not ranked, 2 star.

    Maybe he will rise with some AAU exposure this summer, -- or not?

    Many questions: How quick? Is he long? Any hops? etc, etc, etc.

    Enquirer articles says 6' 8" (whatever)

    only a 2 star - meaning what?

    1. stars are irrelevant?

    2. that's good for a center?

    3. we getting desperate to recruit bigs?

    This is a local kid but I'm not familiar with him. What's the scoop?

    He's a guy that is sort of a late bloomer as a basketball player. Focused more on football in HS and - given his frame - had some interest from MAC-type schools. Would be a bit of a project and might be a redshirt candidate but by all accounts is a good teammate and locker room guy. Upside might be a Jason Love type.

    More like 6' 9" 270. Put up 35 points against a 4 star center. He's just not playing much AAU ball. Very likely one of those hidden gems in which 3 years from now Xavier fans are scratching their collective heads saying, Why didn't Mack recruit this guy?

    Think of the star system as a tool, not the bible. Look at how many Xavier greats we would have missed out on if the star system was the end all.
