More on Tyler Johnson

Utah State Coach Stew Morrill talking about Fresno State's Tyler Johnson:

It’s fairly common these days for a college team to find itself across the court from a prospect it once coveted. As Morrill reviewed film for the incoming Bulldogs, he knows he’ll be wishing he had gotten Tyler Johnson when the senior starts on Saturday.

 "Tyler Johnson is having as good a year as any guard in the conference," he said. "He’s a Fresno kid. We tried like heck to get him. We were right there, and he elected to stay home, which happens sometimes."

Johnson is quietly assembling his best year for Fresno State, leading the team with 16.4 points per game and 7.4 rebounds per game while hitting nearly 43 percent of his 3-pointers. In conference play, those averages have been higher.

"He can pull up, he can shoot threes, really rebounds the ball — really impressive," Morrill said. "I love the guys that just keep getting better from their freshman year to their senior year, every year they just make jumps. That’s what he’s done."

Johnson play his prep ball at St. Francis in Mountain View. Does anyone know why Morrill is saying he's a Fresno kid? A mistake? Did Johnson live there earlier?
