Any chance that BU is recruiting this kid? It looks like he might be under the radar. Found the below paragraph on Illinois Hoops Report.
Chicago Tip-Off Classic
??? The Hoops Report loves the upside and potential of Joliet West's Marlon Johnson, the rising 6-9 senior who has jumped into the top 10 in the Hoops Report's Class of 2012 rankings. He's still very raw and is very much a "down the road" prize as a college prospect. But whether it's the junior college route, a year of prep school or sitting out at a four-year mid-major/mid-major plus program and redshirting, Johnson would benefit greatly in developing his game and adding weight and strength over the next year or two. The Hoops Report, however, still believes his upside is enormous for a player that came on as a rebounder and defensive presence for Joliet West in the second half of the season and has taken a big step forward this spring and summer. He has a lot of tools to work with, including a fine face-up jumper.
