JOHNSON COMMITS TO TAR HEELS

North Carolina added another frontcourt prospect, getting a commitment from SC BF Brice Johnson. One of the best run/jump athletes in the senior class, Johnson enjoyed a huge July. He’d been considered a fringe top-100 prospect throughout the spring and early summer — a concussion ended his week early at the NBAPA Top 100 Camp in June — but he exploded at the LeBron James skills camp, Peach Jam and ultimately the Global Challenge to close out the summer.

Johnson isn’t a polished product yet but knows where his best talents reside. He scored very efficiently during the live evaluation period, mostly on slams and lay-ups. He also shows signs of a decent mid-range jump shot, but he still must become more consistent. He’ll also need to get stronger, as right now he’s very thin. Nevertheless, he’s a legitimate national top-40 prospect and should enjoy a fine career at UNC.
