Syracuse basketball coaches are concerned that 2022 commit Dior Johnson could end up putting himself in a precarious academic position, per a report.

On Monday, I penned an article where I opined that Syracuse basketball 2022 commit Dior Johnson likely was done at the Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va., although nothing official had come across from either Johnson or the prep school.

Then, on Tuesday, Mike Waters of Syracuse.com broke the news that Johnson “will not be allowed to return to the prep school or its prominent basketball program,” according to Waters’ report, citing Oak Hill Academy head coach Steve Smith.
