Good Sunday morning! Let’s get started.
Tre Johnson is highly regarded as one of the best class of 2024 prospects in the country. 247 Sports has Johnson as the No. 3 overall player in the country, who is down to a list of six schools — Kentucky, Baylor, Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, and Kansas.
Johnson spoke with KSR down at Peach Jam and spoke about Kentucky’s long history of putting freshman guards into the NBA:
“...Kentucky, I can be one of their one-and-done players. I can be one of the combo guards they use, help me improve so I can get to the draft...”
Johnson says he does model his game after former Kentucky guards Devin Booker and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
Johnson is already scheduled to take another visit to Alabama and took an official visit to Lexington this past January.
As for a decision?
“Whenever I know where I want to go, I’ll probably commit the same day because I’ll know for sure,” he said.
