Summit Country Day Guard Kevin Johnson Stays Local, Commits To Bearcats

And the beat rolls on. Kevin Johnson from Cincinnati Summit Country Day has committed to the Bearcats. Johnson will hold a press conference at his school at 3 PM this afternoon. So this isn't official, more of a foregone conclusion. When Johnson announces he becomes the second commit in the Bearcats class of 2013 after Troy Caupian who jumped on board late on Friday.

Johnson is a versatile play maker. He is listed as a combo guard and plays as the lead guard for the Silver Knights. More than likely Johnson will wind up as a shooting guard in the Bearcats four guard offense. What I like about Johnson is that he has a good handle, can get into the paint almost at will and can shoot the Basketball. As a bonus he is a good rebounder for a guard. In last years state title winning season Johnson averaged 14-7-3 and 2.

Cincinnati was a newcomer in the Johnson sweepstakes, only offering in mid May. Minnesota was his other big 6 offer but he also had an offer from mid Major power Creighton as well as Bowling Green. Johnson is a great addition to the Bearcats class of 2013. With Johnson and Caupian in the fold Mick Cronin will have three more scholarships to play with.
