Markell Johnson - 6'2 PG - King James - 2017

Top Performance: 24 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists in 79-71 win over Mac Irvin Fire

Season Stats: 18.2 points (49.4 FG%, 65.4 FT%, 34.8 3PT%), 5.9 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 2.2 steals

Playing four of five games this weekend, Johnson was a stud in each of those contests, posting double-figures in each game. Scoring at least 20 points in his last three times on the floor, Johnson's top performance came in a win over Chicago power Mac Irvin Fire, going for 24 points, six rebounds and eight assists, showing the high-level play-making ability that the Cleveland guard possesses. While Johnson's impact on the floor is a no-brainer, it is Johnson's recruitment that is up in the air at the moment. Stuck between reclassifying to the 2016 class, or remaining in the 2017 class and going prep (Johnson is not eligible to play in Ohio as a high school senior in 2016-17), Johnson has a few interesting months ahead. Regardless, "Special" as he is called, is as good as any guard in the Midwest.

 

NC State is set to host 4-star guard Markell Johnson @kells_2017 tomorrow on an official visit.

Markell Johnson - No. 48

It appears Johnson is going to stay in the 2017 class, as he comes in at No. 48 in the nation. After a very strong EYBL season with King James, Johnson is playing some of his best ball, and recently took an official visit to NC State earlier in the week. With over a dozen offers, it's anybody's guess who tops Johnson's list at the moment.

 

C'mon Thad. Damn.

Another quality player gets away.

 

I remember Ohio State really wanted this kid............we may have dodged a bullet........
