Strengths: Johnson is big lefty wing with tremendous positional size and the body to slide over to the four spot when a team goes small at the next level. He handles the ball well for his size and can consequently create all kinds of mismatch problems on the floor with his ability to create and facilitate. He scores the ball in the mid-range area with runners and pull-ups over the top of smaller wings and can also spin off contact.
Weaknesses: Johnson's long-range shooting has historically been the Achilles of his game, and while he's gone a long way towards improving his consistency and range, he's still streaky from behind the three-point line with a stroke that can get off balance at times. His foot speed isn't ideal, especially when defending more explosive wings in space, and he's also the type of guy that typically needs to the ball in his hands to be effective.
Bottom Line: He's a big playmaking lefty wing who is a scoring threat in all three ranges and a better vertical athlete than he is a lateral athlete.

@therecruitscoop Georgetown is the latest school to offer 2015 SG Kaleb Johnson of Carlisle School (VA). It's about time.. Very good news imo.. He reminds me of the freshman Martin @ Butler.. Doesn't shoot it as well but he's more athletic..

www.vantagehoops.com/news_article/show/468831?referrer_id=1171740Kaleb Johnson: Carlisle School, Senior
The top-rated available high school senior in Virginia showed added takeover ability in the second half, leading his team to a 60-58 victory in an overtime thriller against host Bishop Sullivan. Kaleb Johnson scored 18 of his 20 points in the second half and overtime, serving as a matchup problem on the offensive end.
He shot the three-ball more confidently off the catch, finished through contact plays off straight-line drives, and finished other scoring plays using his size.
He's a solid athlete who has added some aggression, and he's become a good rebounding wing. South Carolina recently offered, and that adds to his list that includes Tennessee, Auburn, Charlotte, and William and Mary.

Is this a guy who would contribute immediately, or more of a project? Can he play the 2, or would we expect him really to only play the 3, where it seems he might be stuck in a bit of a logjam?

Would be awful nice to find another pg. We've got two open scholarships for the 2015 class, so we could sign Johnson and a PG. While that would only leave two scholarships for the 2016 class, I have a hard time believing another 1 or 2 won't open up b/c of early entry or transfer.

TBird I agree. I don't see Ike being here for his Jr year. I really wouldn't be surprised if LJ had a big year next year also.

I don't see us adding a PG this year. 2016 for sure, but not 2015. Given the lack of 2015 talent available I think this makes sense. Given how good Tre Campbell has been I'm not concerned about next year. The only downside is that it makes getting 1-2 guards an absolute necessity for 2016. I'm hoping if we put together a nice season and get a few wins in March that we could be better positioned to pick up a late decommit or high quality 2016 guys.

Only reason we would need a 2015 pg is if we lost either DSR or Tre...doesn't look like that is going to happen. 2016 however is a different story.
