I caught up with Darius Johnson, after he dropped 32 points and dished six assists against a Nike EYBL team, at the 'Battle At The Beach' in Daytona Beach. During our conversation he mentioned that "Virginia Tech has been showing me some interest."
I've seen Johnson play about a half-dozen times and he has looked better each time I've seen him. I believe that he is a high three-star prospect and I will be recommending that rating when we update the 2021 class (I just made his Rivals Profile Page Sunday night). He had a very good performance in Atlanta during the live evaluation period.
He is a sophomore at Episcopal (an Alexandria boarding school) and runs with an Orlando based travel team because his parents live in Central Florida. His father is Kelvin Johnson, the men’s basketball Director of Player Development at UCF.
Johnson is strong lead guard who can score it or distribute it. He has better than average quickness and is a capable shot maker. He also has a high basketball IQ and advanced feel for the game. Something he gives his father credit for.
Darius' brother, Xavier, committed to George Mason and will enroll there in June.
