Nick Johnson seeing recruitment soar

Nick Johnson is constantly overshadowed on the basketball court.

At Findlay Prep last season, he played alongside Texas signees Cory Joseph and Tristan Thompson. With the Oakland Soldiers on the AAU circuit, he is teammates with five-star prospects Jabari Brown and Kyle Wiltjer.

Typical with his easygoing personality, though, Johnson does not mind one bit.

“I mean, I know my time will come with Findlay, and with the Soldiers, I’m not really worried about scoring because we have plenty of that,” Johnson said. “So I just try to do everything else.”

Despite not being the main option on his team, Johnson’s recruitment has picked up heavily since Findlay won the National High School Invitational and the Oakland Soldiers rolled through the first two sessions of the NIKE Elite Youth Basketball League at 7-2.
