Jones and Johnson looking like solid commits...

Not sure who is following our incoming guys, but Johnson specifically had a great showing at a Monteverde tournament this past weekend, making the All-Tournament team with a slew of nationally ranked guys (Cooper Flagg being the headliner). Jones was also there seemingly being the only option on his team, scoring the bulk of the points.

Orlando has been good for VT in recent years
OrlandoHokie • 02/01/24 09:55 PM ET
He looks like a college junior or senior already.**

Johnson was one of the most underanked players in this class. Jones doesn't

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
He looks like he might be a facilitator so I was thinking 4
NC Hoke • 02/02/24 01:08 AM ET
I think that's the ultimate destination...
GCHokie34 • 02/01/24 09:12 PM ET
After watching him I was thinking Chris Clarke but Mutts is close to same.**
chagerma • 02/02/24 10:13 AM ET
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...
GCHokie34 • 02/02/24 12:22 PM ET
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
hokiepro • 02/01/24 09:08 PM ET
Some are...
GCHokie34 • 02/01/24 09:14 PM ET
Ideal situation would be to bring in a portal 4

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...
GCHokie34 • 02/01/24 06:26 PM ET
His game reminds of CJ Barksdale but with more effort
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
