Darin Johnson with some press from the Northwest

Percy Allen serves up a Darin Johnson feature.

Johnson signs

The Darin Johnson commit to Washington is now official.

DJohnson interviewed

Here's an interview with UW commit Darin Johnson.

DJ is Seattle bound

Darin Johnson's verbal to Washington is not news anymore but here's a roundup:

* Percy Allen

* Raphielle Johnson

In another article on the subject, Johnson offered, "I chose them because of the history of getting guards to the league (NBA) and that's my dream," ... "Also, they are a top team in the PAC-12 with a great coaching staff."

More on DJohnson & AGordon

Two items from this Justin Rowland article (a Rivals sub is required):

"...Darin Johnson will be making his decision today. At best Washington leads. At worst they're one of four with a really good shot..."

"...This much is clear, however: Washington is "all in" on Aaron Gordon, and failing to land the big man would cause a lot of consternation among the faithful..."

So is it today or Sunday for Johnson?

Updates on DJohnson & DWilliams

Scott Sommer tweeted: "Darin Johnson on visiting #SDSU for Midnight Madness tomorrow, "I don't think I will be able to make it down there."

Although they offer different skill sets, does this open up a roster spot on the border for D'Erryl Williams? The latter will be at the Aztec version of Midnight Madness this weekend and then Loyola Marymount the following week.

Garrett Tucker tweets that Johnson will announce his college choice this Sunday.

Johnson tripping to the Lone Star State

Darin Johnson is down in College Station, Texas this weekend, checking out Texas A&M.

Elston Turner, formerly of Sacramento, is in his senior season there.

Gordon and Johnson in Starbucksville

Aaron Gordon and Darin Johnson will be in Seattle this weekend -- Percy Allen has a number of quotes on Gordon from Mitty Coach Tim Kennedy.

It's interesting and obviously not a coincidence that the pair will be there along with a prep point guard who has already committed to Coach Lorenzo Romar.

Johnson and Gordon doubleteaming

Via Garrett Tucker: "Darin Johnson says he will visit Washington Sept. 27th with Aaron Gordon; he will visit Texas A&M Oct. 6th"

There's always a reason in recruiting so UW obviously is thinking it's a plus to have them in together.

Darin Johnson has a leader

Joe Soriano writes that Darin Johnson has taken a liking to webbed feet.

Johnson down to four

 Via Garrett Tucker: "Darin Johnson says his final 4 schools are Washington, Oregon, San Diego State & Marquette"

So he could be playing with Desmond Simmons (and maybe Aaron Gordon) or Dom Artis or Dakarai Johnson and Malik Thames or Juan Anderson.

Another Darin Johnson item

From Husky Haul: "Also UW is doing good with 4-star wing, Darin Johnson"

Darin Johnson evaluated

Darin Johnson, who is visiting Oregon this weekend (Eugene is expecting highs in the mid 80s and no rain), receives a thorough analysis from the SoCalRecruitSpot folks.

DJ getting major Westwood love

Scott Sommer offered: "#UCLA has offered 2013 shooting guard Darin Johnson"

Garrett Tucker tweeted: "The UCLA staff would like for Darin Johnson to take an official Oct. 20th; Johnson will visit UCLA or Texas A&M that weekend"

The Bruins were in-house last night.

DJohnson's home visits

From Garrett Tucker: "2013 guard Darin Johnson in-home visits: UCLA 9/10, Washington State 9/11, Marquette 9/12 & USC 9/13"

Ben Howland already has commits from backcourters Zach Levine and Al Freeman.

Cal hosting more visitors

Coach Mike Montgomery is placing out the welcome mat this weekend to:

* Darin Johnson (6-foot-4, Sheldon High)
* Jordan Mathews (6-foot-3, Santa Monica High)
* Ivan Rabb (6-foot-8, Bishop O'Dowd)

The latter is unofficial.

Howland to visit Darin Johnson

From Garrett Tucker: "2013 guard Darin Johnson will host UCLA for an in-home visit September 9th"

Allen & Johnson updates

Per Scott Sommer: "Sacramento (Calif.) Sheldon teammates Dakarai Allen and Darin Johnson have left the #SDSU campus without committing"

Wouldn't this be something

Per Cameron Schott: "2013 Sheldon teammates Dakarai Allen and Darin Johnson will take official visits to San Diego State this weekend"

Any chance they will both become Aztecs?

Noting a change in high schools

Missed this earlier -- it was posted June 20. MaxPreps has compiled a list of basketball players switching high schools and Darin Johnson is on it, moving from Franklin High to Sheldon High.

But keep in mind that also on the page is Malik Pope heading to Capital Christian and that was discounted a couple of days ago.
