Nice Q&A with Garrett. No discussion of specific schools that might be high on his list.

Garrett Johnson - 2021 Offer
- Thread starter SFspidur
- Start date
I have to say all these recruiting posts are hard to keep up with and can be somewhat depressing. You see the coaching staff finding some good fits early only to watch the P5 schools offers roll in and pull the players away.
Johnson seems like a good fit for Richmond and I hope they can land another quality VA area player. Definitely looks like the type of athlete UR should be recruiting. Recruiting has been trending up, so hope it continues.
I think the pandemic concerns are becoming a factor for players parents especially and so that can be a plus for in-state recruiting.

Only the best are worth competing for. If we get a recruit that is only recruited by equal or lower levels than us, we’re not improving. So , don’t be depressed, be competitive.
Think how the “other “ schools feel when we get the recruit. Example- Vanderbilt for now.
"including calling Gianni Thompson to princeton" I'm not sure what this means...
Since G Thompson committed to BC and was a MA native, it sounds like one of the VA schools should get the nod.... lol
if this is what "positionless basketball" is, then I'm on board.
he may call himself a guard because he has guard skills, but he can certainly play forward ... eventually big forward if needed ... at 6'7". watching his junior year highlights, he's a terrific athlete. runs the floor really well and is explosive. then he starts knocking down 3's and putting it on the floor. I'm sold. I think he'd be a terrific get.
I certainly wouldn't fault a kid if he wants to go Ivy.
I might go Ivy over most Patriot League, SoCon or CAA full rides.
looking at his list, the ones I'd be looking hard at against Princeton, Yale and maybe Penn for a high academic kid are Xavier because of the high hoops level and Richmond with the combo of athletics and academics.

Good call Ferrum. Hopefully Mr. Snow gives us some 100% calls on some big men.
Due to a benign tumor in his hip, Johnson redshirted his first year at Princeton and then took a year off school, undergoing four surgeries and nine rounds of chemo in all. Transferred to GW this past offseason, and went for 21 and 9 against Stonehill last night.
Wow, great to see him healthy and back playing. I remember his highlights. Really athletic. Guess we will get to see him again.
Know his hs coach. Very impressive. It was his first real game since Feb 2020.
