Basketball new juco commit?

[BBHMagic]

Count me in as wanting this guy regardless of the remaining options. We'd get him for three years as opposed to the 2 or only 1 year of the other guys we're looking at. Plus, if he's really only played 1 year of organized basketball and put up those numbers than we really could have a potential monster here.

Some of those dunks were an insane display of athleticism. The last bit of explosiveness that got him to the hoop few have.

 

[BBHMagic]

It looks like we offered him out of high school too.

Averaged 18.2 pts and 5.6 rbs.

Not bad for averaging five minutes a game. Give him forty minutes and he cans 153points. He is a wrecking ball. Pirate Jimlad symbol.

I think this videos been posted in a thread before, but he's definitely a wing guy, not so much post. He's really athletic and has a good hesitation blow-by move getting to the basket, but obviously doesn't have great outside shooting numbers.

So Old School includes a period where I was over 30. What am I, Ancient School?

Why? Everyone thought we wanted Edwards+ grad transfer. How would this be any different?

Why would we take two 6'4 guys? This guy is a SG/SF. If anything we would take two bigs before two guards.

If Cole-Johnson comes to ISU and doesn't improve his outside shot, he will probably play more 4 than 3 at ISU.

Call me skeptical on a 6'4 190 lb 4.

are you sure he is a 4? I thought he was more of a 2/3. But if he is a 4, he better be an extreme mismatch to compensate for that smallish size for that position.

He's a 6'4" version of Juiston. Slasher, great athlete, but zero shot. I'm guessing he's not a great passer if he's only been playing for two years.

The Kenny Pratt example is probably a good one.

At this point I'm just hoping we land Morrow and can get our young guys lots of experience for 2018.

Nobody on here ever watched Kenny Pratt play at ISU..

We would definitely sign more SG/SF's...We need scorers..

I get the mentality of we have this kid for 3 years as opposed to 1 year, however its all about 2017 right now..not 2020.

Where are you seeing 3 years of eligibility?

Are you serious clark?

What?

That's what I'm wondering. The school lists him as a sophomore.

I think he is a 2/3, but I was replying to somebody who said he would be more of a 4.

I'm pretty sure he is a SO

I am 54, so yes I did.

that is interesting. where did you see that? How could we have offered him out of high school if he didn't even play high school bb? Anyway, if so maybe our coaches saw him play some how some way and like what they saw.

The staff has been on this kid since at least last summer. Here's an article from Jared from July 2016:
https://cyclonefanatic.com/2016/07/recruiting-florida-pg-and-juco-guard-pick-up-isu-offers/

Davion Cole-Johnson
Cole-Johnson averaged 18.2 points per game last season for Mississippi Gulf Coast C.C. as a freshman. The 6-foot-4-inch, prospect is listed as a forward on the MGCCC website, but it seems likely that he would shift into a guard role at the college level.

He is a capable 3-point shooter and shot 31.6 percent from behind the arc during his first season with the Bulldogs. He’s an above average rebounder for his height which shows from his 5.6 boards per game.

There isn’t any film on Cole-Johnson, not surprising for a JUCO, but there really isn’t much else to find about him either. That isn’t uncommon with JUCO players but it is a little odd that it is nearly impossible to find anything about his high school game.
It does appear as though Cole-Johnson found himself in a bit of legal trouble a couple years back which could explain why this talented scorer ended up in the JUCO ranks.

Can a mod please move this discussion to the basketball forum?

I thought i was around then but what in the hell is an old school early 2000s type game?
