London Johnson Contenders & Other 2023 Updates

Speaking of Kihei, I noticed at the game last week that we are giving him an extra inch now. I guess maybe he has grown since he has been on campus?

I’ve stood right next to Kihei for somewhat extended periods of time. There is no way in hell that he was ever 5’9 let alone 5’10.

Careful, saying that will be considered a cheap shot on here!

Makes sense. In the 247 article he said (non-comitally) he looking to commit either on Christmas Day or around Christmas.

This kid’s up there on way too early 2024 watch list. Willy stopped by Highland this Fall, and saw him play yesterday against STAB.

Speaking of Willy, Austin Williford has had a couple of double figure games for STAB as a freshman. I think he’s the sixth man.

Hows Austin lookin? Supposed to be big time athlete

What do you figure the odds for where he goes:

Virginia
Wherever his dad is coaching
ODU if JJ is still there
Wherever Bryant Stith is coaching
Liberty or wherever McKay is coaching
Charlotte or wherever Sanchez is coaching
Other

Think it depends on how good he becomes. If he is real I think UVa. But dont know his thoughts on it at all. Definitely high probability it is where one of those guys is coaching though.

Will ask Jay what places he likes.

I’m told there are a couple STAB freshman who are showing out a lot stronger than expected and I think he’s one. The other surprise is that Tina Thompson’s son was expected to be huge, then during practices they dialed expectations back a little, but now that the games are starting he might be even better than initially expected.

His wife used to play USTA tennis at the Boars Head. I think she was a 3.0 or 3.5.
