Ty-Laur Johnson claimed the last available scholarship from Louisville Head Coach Kenny Payne yesterday. The recruitment of Johnson was eerily similar to Miami transfer Danilo Jovanovich’s recruitment. Both of them went completely under the radar and their commitment announcements came out of nowhere.
The consensus No. 1 overall prospect out of the state of New York, according to 247Sports, has been praised by the fanbase thus far, largely because he is a point guard. There was a need for another player to step in and fill the open position in the backcourt and Ty-Laur Johnson can do just that.
