Georgetown Extends Offer to Tyrone Johnson

John Thompson The Third and the Georgetown staff have extended a scholarship offer to Tyrone Johnson, a 6'2'' guard out of Plainfield High in New Jersey.  Johnson is currently ranked as a top 50 recruit in the class of 2011 according to Rivals.

Tyrone Johnson Highlights

In a September 2009 scouting report, ESPN stated:

Johnson completely controlled the tempo of the game, using his size and strength to hold off opposing pressure and always staying under control while running the team. He picked his attack spots well within the offense, making great decisions off the ball screen, elevating for mid-range pull-ups with a soft touch, showing good footwork and explosion with his rip-through moves, and creating for himself and others off the dribble.

Hoya Balla interviewed Johnson where he commented on his recruitment process and thoughts going forward.  Johnson states:

"Head Coach JT3 called me up and officially offered me. I am pretty excited. They (Georgetown coaches) have been recruiting me since i was a freshman so i have been waiting for this for a while. Coach Thompson keeps it simple. He asked me how i was doing, how was school going, how were my grades. We also talked about the success the basketball team has been having this season and the ups and downs a team goes through during the season."

Adam Zagoria reports that Johnson currently has offers from Rutgers, Seton Hall, Virginia Tech and is garnering interest from Kentucky, Villanova, West Virginia, UConn, Indiana, Virginia, Temple and UNLV.

Seems like a great fit with the offense, hopefully Calipari doesn't leave bags of money outside Johnson's home.

So what's our recruiting situation looking like?

Am I wrong in my assessment that it looks like we have good but no outstanding players coming in? Are we destined to become a more middle of the road team unless some breakthrough (like us getting Christmas) happens?

starks and lubick are very good

we’re gonna be fine.

remember – we arent kentucky or uconn, we dont take just anybody. learned our lesson with summers and macklin that high school rankings arent a good indicator of a player being able to play in our offense.

Good talk.

I still want Rakeem Christmas

definitely

As Viva points out down below, having someone named Christmas would lead to amazingly stupid puns, which would be very enjoyable to read,

I agree, starks and lubbick

have both matured well since they committed, I think they will be very good players (starks = wright with a little better desicion making and slightly less athletic ability, lubbick = vaughn with a bit more offense). In fall 2011, I would be very happy to see a starting back court of starks, clark, with Johnson as third guard. The key is the front court – right now (w/o Monroe) its Hollis, Lubbick, Sims and Benimon. That does not blow my skirt up. Plug Christmas in at C then we are golden. Even a Moses or McKnight at C would be ok.

Hollis seems like he could develop into a good small forward

but that still leaves us without much of a tough inside presence.

Love the expression: “the best thing about freshmen is that they become sophmores.”
