2016 top target

[Da Coach]

Former Centralia, IL 6-5 wing/SF Carlos Johnson says he will announce his decision this Friday.
His family moved to California (where he played in high school and AAU) but he is finishing his final year of high school at Findlay Prep in Nevada.
He has offers from UTEP, Nevada, San Diego State and UNLV and those are the most likely, but recent articles still mention his offer from Bradley.
I would put the chances for Bradley at under 10%.

Carlos Johnson commits to UNLV-

[LongTimeFan]

I found this old article on Ferguson. He is listed as a 6'4" shooting guard. I did see that he can also play some PG.

http://suntimeshighschoolsports.com/2015/07/30/henricksen-tops-2016-post-july/

[Da Coach]

From reading quite a few articles about him, he played a lot of point guard last year and over the summer. However, it seems college recruiters see him more as a 2-guard.

There was a tweet recently indicating that our guys were at Vermont Academy recently viewing someone.....

A kid from Vermont Academy (the school Ronnie Suggs came from) is a kid our staff might be keeping an eye on and recently checked out...
