CJ is a really fast and explosive forward who can get to the basket whenever he wants. Really good at handling the ball against strong defensive pressure. I liked his high motor and ability to seek his own shot. Good footwork and finishing in the paint! Cj Johnson Cj Johnson 6'4" | PF Whitmer | 2027 State OH showed at the Toledo Top 64 that he can carry the offensive load for his team. Defensively, he creates matchup problems with his reach and wingspan. A power forward who will get it done on both ends at a high level. This senior is prepared and ready to leave a huge impact for his team at Toledo Whitmer!

A prospect who has been on our radar for a while thanks to his performances with Whitmer, with the Ohio Buckets and at the Toledo Top 64, Johnson is an athletic forward who wants to play above the rim in transition, off cuts and offensive rebounds. Johnson has been a standout for the Ohio Buckets White 17 U team that has a handful of small college targets from northwest Ohio. I could see Johnson having a breakout senior season for a Whitmer squad that will need him to be an experienced leader.

Johnson has all the tools you want to see in a wing at the next level. He’s long, athletic, and plays with a smoothness that makes him tough to guard. He’s a really good slasher who thrives in transition and knows how to use his length to finish around the rim. Defensively, he has the wingspan and quickness to disrupt opponents and guard multiple positions. Johnson is a high-ceiling player that I expect to impress in this setting.

Another athlete who is slowly starting to put the pieces together, Johnson had one of the more impressive dunks that came off a nice rip move to create separation. I really like the way Johnson moves in transition with his explosive athleticism. Will need to see more from him this winter before adding him to the rankings but Johnson has been on our watchlist and is moving closer to getting the elevation to a ranked player on the website.
