Johnson committed to Syracuse in February and is considered one of the best players in the 2022 class regardless of position. He is widely considered the best point guard in the class as well.

"I went on an unofficial there last weekend and it just felt like home," Johnson said after committing through his blog on SI All-American. "I’ve known the staff there since the seventh grade and that’s when they first started to recruit me. I played in the same AAU organization as Buddy Boeheim, which is Coach Boeheim’s son so the staff was always around.

"I had been going to their camps since seventh grade too.

"I told the staff on Tuesday and they were really happy! They felt like my commitment would change the game for them recruiting-wise."

Johnson has helped Syracuse recruit other targets in the class of 2021 and 2022. He spoke to 2021 Syracuse commit Benny Williams about playing together. Johnson has also spoken to class of 2022 Syracuse targets about teaming up, such as Roddy Gayle, Chance Westry, Zion Cruz and others.

Syracuse basketball begins its 2020-21 season against Bryant on November 27th.

EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site.

Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports. Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market.
