Washington star commits to Illinois Wesleyan

[Da Coach]

High scoring guard Sean Johnson of Washington high school is going to Illinois Wesleyan.

Next, I expect Matt Roth to verbal to Bradley.

Anything more to that than the barrage of people that said he was going to commit to BU in March?

 

[Da Coach]

Just wishful thinking!

Great place for Johnson. Good luck to him there.

If Johnson is a good student, so he could get good academic scholarships, this is a great choice, he can go star and help his team do very well at a local school.

Thats a great fit for Sean, a great hoops program thats close to home so his proud parents can watch him play.

PJS also says that Josh Edmonds will attend Quincy! Good Luck to Josh! 8)

Another guard, All State Travis Rosenkranz of Macon Meridian, has committed to Illinois Wesleyan--

Travis Rosekranz is an absolute steal for Wesleyan, as he was getting some serious D-I BUT..........

Rosecranz is an almost identical player to Sean Johnson.
If you have seen them both, they even resemble each other facially.
Here is Rosenkranz:

and most of you know what Sean Johnson looks like.
Sean Johnson, 6-0 combo guard, can play the point, 19ppg, 2rpg, 3apg, and 45% on 3-pointers from Washington HS.
Travis Rosenkanz, 6-0 combo guard, can play the point, 24ppg, 4rpg, 5apg, and 41% on 3-pointers from Meridian HS.

I don't know much about D-III but it seems like to D-I caliber guards when the game is even more guard oriented then D-I BBall would still be a great feat for the school and could probably set them up for continued success.
