Tre Johnson is the No. 1 recruit in the class of 2024 and the shooting guard out of Dallas, Texas (Lake Highlands) has narrowed his list to 6 teams, and 3 come from the SEC.
Johnson, who is 6-foot-5 and 180 pounds, said his top 6 is Arkansas, Kentucky, Kansas, Baylor, Alabama and Texas. He has a reported 18 offers. He’s officially visited Baylor, Texas, Kansas, and Kentucky.
The last consensus No. 1 prospect nationally was small forward RJ Barrett in 2018. Barrett currently plays for the New York Knicks. Johnson’s father, Richard Johnson, was a standout guard at Baylor and Midwestern State in the late 1990s.
Johnson previously told On3 Sports his thoughts on Arkansas and Kentucky:
Arkansas: “They just a have good program. Some Dallas guys have went there and have been successful. They have a culture of winning.”
Kentucky: “I was able to sit in on everything that happens the day before the game. The process of it. The game plan. My lead recruiter was KT Turner before he got the job at UT-Arlington, but now its Chin Coleman. I fit in well (with their playstyle). They let their guards play, as long as they play defense, they let their guards hoop.”
