Name: Isaiah Johnson
Height: 6’9
Weight: 265
Position: Center
School: Walnut Hills
Hometown: Cincinnati, OH
AAU: Cincinnati Lakers
Class: 2013
Evaluation: Throwback center who lives in the paint. Pure back to the basket scorer has excellent strength and great touch around the rim. Able to score the ball strong at the rim going over either shoulder or by keeping it high and putting it back in off a rebound. Big soft hands and a wide base allow him to set up inside wherever he wants to clog the middle. Is working hard on getting in the best shape of his life to be able to dominate for the whole course of the game.
Bottom Line: His dominance at the HS level is unquestioned, college coaches are still deciding how much of that he will be able to duplicate at their level. For now looks like a mid-major recruit who could go higher if he continues to trim down and get quicker.
Notes: Committed to Akron in September of 2012.
