4-star guard, brother of NBA lottery pick Jalen Green, taking an official to NC State

Published

2023 4-star, AJ Johnson, will be visiting NC State on September 24th, according to 247s Travis Banham.

Johnson is a 6’5 guard hailing from Woodland Hills, CA. He’s got a long wiry frame, a nice shot, good handles and a ton of athleticism.

Johnson is also the younger brother of Houston Rockets star Jalen Green, who was the 2nd overall selection in the 2021 NBA Draft. Green averaged 17 points in his rookie season.

Johnson is getting a ton of interest, but the only official visist he has set up are to NC State, Texas, USC, and LSU. It’s worth noting that Louisville, Gonzaga, and Kansas may be looking to get on that visit list as well.

Johnson started to get national attention when he went head to head with Bronnie James (Lebron’s son) and scored 15 pts.

This is worth keeing your eye on. It will be hard for NC State to out-recruit Gonzaga or Kansas if they get into the mix, however if the list stays as it is now, NC State has a shot here.

Papajohn,
I feel your pain. We have had commitments and we have been front runners for several high school players over the past two years. I know it seems like $$$$ are calling the shots, but winning is the key. Kansas, Gonzaga, Dook, Tarholes, Kentucky, they don’t lose too many early commitments.

Our BRAND sucks right now. I feel like it needs a major overhaul.

Recruiting is so frustrating right now. It’s hard to get too excited about players we make offers to because most will never show up on campus. Whereas in the good old days (get off my lawn!) you could find and sign players during the early signing period and finish off your class in the spring, that model seems to be fading away. It might be that some bigger draws can still do that, but most of us don’t. The ‘Terquavion Smith model’ – spot them really early and lock them up doesn’t seem to happen much. He’s a unicorn –… Read more »
