Bryan Penn Johnson commits to LSU basketball

7’0” center, transfer from Washington

“The 7-footer was one of the first recruiting targets for Coach Mike Hopkins when he got the Washington job and so it’s unfortunate to see him departing before ever making a true contribution on the court. It appeared BPJ would see time as a true freshman after he appeared briefly in 5 of UW’s first 7 games but he suffered a leg injury which sidelined him for several months leading to the decision to redshirt.”

“The physical tools were always there with BPJ as his nearly 7’6 wingspan suggested the potential to be a defensive monster protecting the rim in Hop’s zone defense. On offense BPJ showed the makings of a short hook game to go along with his dunk potential. But in his few minutes on the court BPJ fouled at an astronomical rate and rebounded much worse than someone you’d expect of that size.“


Wade is good at teaching kids how to rebound so maybe some potential there.

“Washington transfer Bryan Penn-Johnson just committed to LSU, he tells @Rivals.

Why’d he pick the Tigers? What role could he fill? Will he push for immediate eligibility?”
