Marlon Johnson - 2012

Any chance that BU is recruiting this kid? It looks like he might be under the radar. Found the below paragraph on Illinois Hoops Report.

Chicago Tip-Off Classic
??? The Hoops Report loves the upside and potential of Joliet West's Marlon Johnson, the rising 6-9 senior who has jumped into the top 10 in the Hoops Report's Class of 2012 rankings. He's still very raw and is very much a "down the road" prize as a college prospect. But whether it's the junior college route, a year of prep school or sitting out at a four-year mid-major/mid-major plus program and redshirting, Johnson would benefit greatly in developing his game and adding weight and strength over the next year or two. The Hoops Report, however, still believes his upside is enormous for a player that came on as a rebounder and defensive presence for Joliet West in the second half of the season and has taken a big step forward this spring and summer. He has a lot of tools to work with, including a fine face-up jumper.
 
Isu wow

Isu wow

since ISU has no 2012 schollys left but r now 3over for next year. Unbelievable...just heard they are coming in to visit Da Coach today. They heard he can shoot the 3 ball..look for an offer to comes his way tonite for 2012.
 
Dan Ponemann is the one reporting the ISU offer to Johnson - and he generally knows the kids pretty well -- plus Marlon Johnson confirms it..
And I agree - ISU is already committed in 2012 for 2 or 3 more kids than they have scholarships available so clearly someone's on the hot seat and going to be gone.
 
Here's an article that discussed lots of Joliet area recruits - many of whom were Bradley recruits...

Like Marlon Johnson, Karrington Ward, Derrick Marks, Seth Evans, Diamond Taylor, etc...

Marlon Johnson - who ISU fans were hopeful of getting - is having a decent but not awesome freshman season...
however Tallahassee CC has gone on a serious losing streak that has reached nine games in a row..
