2021 Recruiting: Samson Johnson Update

[huskiesNhoos]

I'm as excited as anyone about this kid, but people need to chill a little on the expectations...there's about a 0% chance of him starting over Sanogo and a healthy Akok. He's basically Akok 2.0 so his freshman season should be a pretty good baseline (obviously minus the starting spot)

Chill on expectations? Who wouldn't want to have Akok 2.0 coming off the bench next season?

Every time I watch this kid I get an EO vibe. Obviously he's not there yet but the way he carries himself on the court, his demeanor, looks like a hard worker, all scream Okafor to me.

I could see Sanago and Johnson getting a lot of court time together next season like last year at TPS. Sanago more as an old school PF and Johnson in the Stretch 5, new age C role. Of course Akok will have a major role at PF too.

Would love to see the following front court combos next season:

PF: Akok, C: Whaley
PF/C: Sanago, Johnson

That’s just nasty lol

To be clear it's EO, not AO right? Because I probably wouldn't have responded to an AO reference otherwise.

Damn you, autocorrect.
