His game reminds of CJ Barksdale but with more effort

Big body who plays below the rim and can stretch the floor. Polished offensively but limited on defense due to athleticism.

Orlando has been good for VT in recent years

He looks like a college junior or senior already.**

Johnson may have to provide significant minutes at 4 next season or
NC Hoke 02/01/24 04:49 PM ET
Johnson wouldn’t be a wing?**
GoldCoast 02/01/24 06:47 PM ET

NC Hoke 02/02/24 01:08 AM ET
I think that's the ultimate destination...

After watching him I was thinking Chris Clarke but Mutts is close to same.**

Clarke is a good comp...
GCHokie34 02/02/24 12:27 PM ET
VT will pick up a 4 in the portal...maybe 2
GCHokie34 02/01/24 06:24 PM ET
I agree playing freshmen a lot of minutes isn’t ideal.
NC Hoke 02/02/24 01:51 AM ET
He has the physical part down...

Have our transfers this year been consistently efficient?**
Pride_and_Joy 02/01/24 10:58 PM ET
Generally yes but some FR are special

Jones: 6'8" top 100 ( 78?) Johnson 6'5" 183 One of the dumbest rankings by
ancient alien 2018 02/01/24 05:55 PM ET
Johnson is 6'5" and Jones is 6'7"
VT ChemE 1986 02/01/24 03:57 PM ET
Penciling him in as an Omier clone with better range :)**
GoldCoast 02/01/24 04:29 PM ET
Not sure about clone...

soflahokie 02/01/24 07:18 PM ET
GCHokie has said the same**
VT ChemE 1986 02/01/24 06:11 PM ET
Nice. **
GoldCoast 02/01/24 06:21 PM ET
FWIW - Jones top ~75 and Johnson top ~200
GoldCoast 02/01/24 03:42 PM ET
MY can't recruit though**
GretnaHokie 02/01/24 03:22 PM ET
Isn’t the issue more retention than recruiting?
Pride_and_Joy 02/01/24 03:26 PM ET
These guys are high school recruits, not transfers
GretnaHokie 02/01/24 03:59 PM ET
Yes, I hope so.
Pride_and_Joy 02/01/24 10:56 PM ET
Thanks for the info, GC. **
YBYSAIAHokie 02/01/24 02:13 PM ET
Both those guys are full grown men
