Expert Analysis

Prep Hoops Ranking: 1
To be ranked No. 1 among all players in the super talented class of 2027 in Wisconsin says all you need to know about Johnson, a Gonzaga recruit who led Milwaukee Juneau to the WIAA Division 4 state title last March. A lead guard with size, length, skill and vision, Johnson can score at all three levels and is aggressive in taking opportunities to put points on the board. He also can set up teammates with his ability to draw double teams and then pass the ball to open teammates. A key player for the Team Herro 17U squad looking to make another big splash at the Peach Jam Tournament in July, Johnson is ranked No. 18 nationally in the On3/Rivals player rankings for the 2027 class.

Dooney Johnson is a smooth operator on offense. He has an explosive first and second step, and can load up his hips when he needs to elevate. He slams home dunks with authority and isn’t afraid to add some flair to them. Johnson also poured in shots from downtown and certainly looks like a player who will make noise at the collegiate level. His outstanding play earned him a spot in the Top 30 Game, and he was also named a co-MVP of the Team Championship game.

‘s 27 points per game for Regis, and Dooney is putting up nearly identical numbers for Juneau. Fans from all over the state will be excited to watch the high flying Gonzaga commit, capable of throwing down highlight reel dunks any time he attacks the basket. When Dooney isn’t trying to dunk on defenders, he’s a reliable outside shooter with a high arcing shot from deep. I’ve seen him have some quiet first halves in games this season, but Dooney always seems to take his game to another level during the last 18 minutes of play.

Juneau made the trip down to Kenosha to take on St. Joseph on Tuesday night. Dooney got off to a quiet first half, but after taking a hard foul midway through the second, he took over to help his team pull away. Dooney threw down a pair of high flying dunks, had a nice spin move into a mid-range jumper, had a handful of strong finishes inside, and was able to dish out a number of assists leading to dunks from his teammates. Not many teams will have a player with the length and athleticism needed to slow down the Gonzaga commit.
