Tre Johnson, the No. 1 shooting guard in the Class of 2024 out of Link Academy (MO), took an official visit to Texas this week and linked up with Texas quarterback Arch Manning, the nephew of former NFL QBs Peyton and Eli Manning.
“The visit was great,” Richard Johnson, Tre’s father, told ZAGSBLOG. “The message is still the same, they want Tre to come in and prepare to be a one and done and chase a national championship. They also stressed the benefits of having the Texas brand behind Tre’s brand while he is playing and when he is done playing basketball.”
“Texas’s main pitch to me was I could be one of their one-and-done guys who comes in, develops what he wants to goes to the NBA,” Tre Johnson told ZAGSBLOG in June.
As far as his recruitment, the No. 1 shooting guard in the Class of 2024 has a top six of Alabama, Arkansas, Baylor, Kansas, Kentucky, and Texas. He has also taken official visits to Kansas, Kentucky and Baylor and was scheduled to visit Alabama on September 15, but that has been pushed back due to a Nike event in New York City that week. Next up is a visit to Baylor Sept. 22-24. Johnson said this summer he has no timetable on a decision. “I don’t have a time frame,” he said. “When I know for sure is probably when I’m going to commit.” Photo via: @HankSouth247· Follow Adam Zagoria on Twitter Follow ZAGSBLOGHoops on Instagram And Like ZAGS on Facebook5⭐️ Tre Johnson — the No. 1 recruit from the state of Texas & a Top-5 prospect nationally — pictured on his official visit to Texas with Longhorns freshman QB Arch Manning, the former No. 1 overall recruit in the country. https://t.co/NcQF3d3fq0 pic.twitter.com/SLvx2Gidq4
