21Sept 2023: #53 Rivals/#95 247, SG Larry Johnson commits to the Bluejays!

Young Mr. Johnson showed up on 14 September, for an Official Visit, no less. Surprise! He had stated he had a good time on the Hilltop. Larry stated he has a good relationship with Mac and the staff, and loved his time with the team, loves the Jays style of play.

In choosing the Jays today, Larry restated all of the above, as well as, his seeing himself contributing right away in the Bluejay’s style of play. He is also looking forward to playing for the 18K in the stands.

@LarryLarry Showed Out at Pangos – now erobody is loving him.

Welcome Oswin. Have a great visit and go ahead and commit while you are here…

Not A Problem!
