Growing concerns about Duke basketball signee Jalen Johnson

Five-star small forward Jalen Johnson, who ranks No. 6 overall on the 247Sports 2020 Composite, has not played for any prep team this season. The Duke basketball signee left IMG Academy (Fla.) — his third school in three years — several weeks ago for undisclosed reasons.

Unfortunately, as a result, the 6-foot-8, 215-pound Wisconsin native is now ineligible for the McDonald's All-American Game at the Toyota Center in Houston on April 1. In other words, Johnson will not own the prestigious title that peers of his caliber will proudly carry with them for life and one day repeatedly tell their grandkids about.
