If they offer Johnson then yes, not sure they've offered yet, but they're watching him a lot. Probably deciding whether or not they think he's better than Landry.

Truthfully, I wasn't impressed with that highlight video. I don't evaluate players and I didn't even stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night, but the talent level in some of those clips was a bit, shall we say, suspect. Not to mention he seemed to be trying to put on a dribbling exhibition in a few of those clips.

It wasn't a high quality video to say the least. However, twitter search his name and you'll see the rave. He has blown up on the AAU circuit this summer.

Here's just a few comments from the last day or two...

“@D_1Trainer: @KyleNeddenriep TaiShaun Johnson had 28 points with 8 three point bombs & 8 assist as Kings Court beat Sebe to advance to platinum bracket!”

“@Hoops_Reports: Tennessee, Wake Forest, Old Dominion, Illnois St, Boston College, among others watched Taishaun Johnson today, a 2013 PG.”

“@SECBballRecruit: California, V. Tech, Vermont, Nebraska, Tennessee, and Northeastern watched 2013 PG Taishaun Johnson and SG Harry Wills. @hoopdreaming1”

“@D_1Trainer: Hard pressed to find a better backcourt than Harry Wills & TaiShaun Johnson. #KingsCourtNation”

“@SECBballRecruit: West Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Valparaiso watched 2013 PG TaiShaun Johnson. Tennessee is interested.”

That's a bit more reassuring. Watching him put on a Globetrotters act while being guarded by a 5'8" kid wasn't really getting me convinced. Hopefully some better tape surfaces of him.

Whatever he did at the Tennessee elite camp must have impressed the staff.

this is from taishaun just a little while ago...

“@HoopDreaming1: Heard from Alabama, Vermont, Northeastern, Oakland. Jacksonville, and Tennessee”


This also from tonight, Tennessee showing interest in another 2013 PG

“@SECbasketball1: Former Towson Commit, 2012 2-Star PG Frank Mason (6'0", 170) has interest from Tennessee and South Carolina now! #Vols #GameCocks #UT”

Tennessee apparently has offered a legitimate big man!

“@BWeixScout: Trevor Thompson tweets that he has picked up an offer from #Tennessee. He reclassed to 2013. Talented 6'11"!”

Tennessee looking at another PG


“@Coast2CoastHoop: Tennessee is now expressing interest in 2013 New Rens (NY) point guard Terrence Samuel.”

Maybe this is why we don't take a PG in 2013...

“@EvanDanielsFOX: 19 point guards made 2014 top 75. Very deep position in the '14 class.”
