Darin Johnson and Gonzaga

Zach Bell @ The Slipper Still Fits site (still on top as the best blog name ever) checks in on Gonzaga and Darin Johnson:

"2013 prospect Darin Johnson is taking an unofficial visit to Spokane this weekend. Johnson is a very intriguing prospect in the '13 class but one that is still relatively unknown to most. Out of Elk Grove, CA, Johnson is a 6'4, 195 lb wing that can play a number of positions but hasn't really settled on one yet. His mid-range game highlight his strength but he is still working on his perimeter jumper and hasn't become a skilled distributor yet. From all reports, he would fit in very well at Gonzaga as he plays at an extremely fast pace. Developing a shooting conscious, however, could determine as to what level of program he lands at. USC has recently offered him and we have heard that he has a top four of USC, Gonzaga, WSU, and Colorado. WSU has offered him but we do not believe the Zags or Colorado have yet. The rest of his offers are from other non-BCS schools."

Here's Garrett Tucker on the Zags and Johnson:

"Johnson was offered a scholarship, but it wasn’t a traditional offer. Mark Few, who is assisting Billy Donovan with Team USA, is currently in Brazil. However, while on the visit, Coach Few called Johnson and offered him. Interesting way to offer, right?

I still would say USC leads, but the Zags are just trailing in second, alongside Washington State.

He will visit Wazzu this weekend, too.

As you could expect, Johnson has had a busy day. He has fielded calls from all the schools listed above in the original post, including a 5 AM call from Utah. Wyoming was the only new school to call.
