UNC basketball target receives prediction
Four-star wing targets UNC, Duke, and others
***Rivals national analyst Eric Bossi has predicted that four-star wing Jayden Johnson will commit to Duke. Johnson, a 6-foot-7 wing from Virginia, is one of the top prospects in the 2024 class and is being recruited by several top programs, including UNC, Duke, and Kansas.
Bossi believes that Duke is the favorite to land Johnson because of the Blue Devils' strong tradition and recent success under coach Jon Scheyer. Bossi also notes that Johnson has a good relationship with Scheyer and his staff.
While Duke is the favorite, UNC is still in the running for Johnson's commitment. The Tar Heels have a long history of success under coach Hubert Davis, and they have been able to land several top recruits in recent years.
Johnson is expected to make his commitment decision in the coming weeks. It will be interesting to see if he follows Bossi's prediction and commits to Duke, or if he chooses another program.
***Johnson's strengths and weaknesses
Johnson is a versatile wing who can play both inside and outside. He is a good shooter with a smooth stroke, and he is also a good rebounder and defender.
However, Johnson needs to improve his ball-handling skills and his ability to create his own shot. He can also be inconsistent at times.
***Johnson's recruitment
Johnson is being recruited by several top programs, including UNC, Duke, Kansas, and Kentucky. He has already taken official visits to UNC and Duke, and he is expected to take an official visit to Kansas in the near future.
Johnson is expected to make his commitment decision in the coming weeks. It will be interesting to see if he follows Bossi's prediction and commits to Duke, or if he chooses another program.
