2013 WBB Tyseanna Johnson (Iowa State Verbal Commit)
Posted: Sat Sep 15, 2012 12:30 pm
After stealing Marissa Janning in 2012, the Jays hope to seal another Minnesota blue chip player in 2013. Tyseanna Johnson is seen as one of the top player in Minnesota regardless of age. She is rated as an 88 (3-star player) by ESPN. The 5'10'' Wing/Guard can play all over the floor an is described as bringing:
blue collar mentality to the court. She will not be out hustled or out worked on the hardwood. Johnson is a double-double machine, scoring and rebounds. She picks up a lot of hustle points around the basket and can win a game with mere determination. Johnson can also make things happen in transition and out on the perimeter. She has a formidable three-point-shot and her mid-range shooting is also good. Defensively her game is very polished. Johnson is very hard to score against, and she comes up with a lot of loose balls and is great at anticipating and jumping the passing lane.
Johnson, like Janning, played for the North Tartan AAU program. She has narrowed her focus down to Iowa State, Minnesota and Creighton. She is planning on visiting Iowa State on Sept. 28 http://amestrib.com/blog/starters-welcome-and-recruiting-visits-looming-isu-women.html
Side note to the recruitment of Tyseanna is the MBB programs involvement in her younger brother Jarvis. Jarvis has stated that he could be heavily influenced by his talented sisters decision: http://www.gopherhole.com/news_article/show/175057
