Ronnie Johnson 2012 PG

[GophersOnTheRise]

Looks like there's another point guard on Minnesota's radar.

"Ronnie Johnson, PG, North Central- DSR's partner in the backcourt at North Central, the junior point guard looks to be growing a little bit. The southpaw is tremendously quick off the dribble, gets into the lane, pushes tempo and is becoming a threat to knock down jumpers with more consistency. The class of 2012 looks a bit thin at the point guard position and Johnson has elevated his game. He mentioned offers from Butler, Indiana State, Southern Illinois, Ball State, Eastern Illinois, IUPUI and others. More recently, he's started to hear from Michigan, Minnesota, Dayton, Saint Louis and Illinois."

Other notes about Ronnie Johnson from Rivals:

Ronnie Johnson: He is small, but Johnson flat out makes other people better. Johnson is an absolute problem for defenses coming off of ball screens because his jumper has improved where if his man goes under the screen he will burn you from deep, but if a defensive player goes over top the screen, he is so quick that he gets into the lane and from there it is either a floater for a bucket or a dish for an easy layup. Johnson is very left hand dominant, and needs to work on that part of his game, but when it comes to setting up teammates for buckets, he definitely fills the role.

Just a heads up but Ronnie is Purdue freshmen Terone little brother.
