Hard to tell. Looks like some skill a la Edwards but I’m really tired of these skinny bigs. Not sure he’s quick enough at the 4 at the ACC level. Moves more like a 5. Has some skill though.

I like this kid's tape so far. Of course once he blows up even more the UK's, Dook's, LSU's, etc. will be calling.

Kid looks great even tho hes our typical TLS. Stretch Armstrong arms...insane! Can run and is athletic. I'd be happy with him. BUT we still need a garbage man...by the way Marcus santos Silva is transfering....PERFECT garbage man that's physical and aggressive! Probably not "tall enough" for us though. Check him out. Would be a awesome addition for a year for physical matchups.

Would be a awesome addition for a year for physical matchups. Long arms for sure! Guess I don’t see a lot of the quickness you’re seeing. He’s athletic but a little clunky too, IMO. Just don’t see him as a solid ACC 4/PF but will be interesting to see him develop. Woody Newton for instance IMO is quicker and more explosive/sudden and I realize Newton is barely a top 100 kid.

During the winter, I was intrigued by Elizabeth (N.J.) Patrick School big man Samson Johnson and thought the 2021 prospect would take off during the spring. My colleague Corey Evans felt the same and we put him into the Rivals150. If anything, there’s a good chance that we were conservative but figured that would take care of itself when he ran with the NY Jayhawks this spring and summer on the Adidas Circuit.
Here we are with the summer basketball up in the air and Johnson’s opportunities to show what he can do being limited. The long and short of it is that he’s got good size at nearly 6-foot-10, he can really run, he’s got a great frame to build on and he’s dripping with potential as a mobile shot-blocker who can be a defensive disruptor with potential as a scorer. A native of Togo, he’s got big upside as a prospect.
Schools are picking up though. Johnson has now scored offers from Connecticut, St. John’s, Syracuse and Xavier while Cincinnati, Georgia, Miami and Western Kentucky have been showing interest. Johnson recently conducted virtual visit with UConn and Xavier.
Jay David, the executive director the NY Jayhawks, is certainly a believer and has good reason.
“I know it sounds like rhetoric but he’s a high character hard working kid,” David told Rivals.com. “At 6’10, he has a 40-plus vertical with 7’5/7’6 wingspan with the ability to step out and hit the high school three-pointer consistently. He is one of the best forwards in the country.”

I'll take him in a heartbeat. Yep... Definitely way too skilled to pass up. Which is totally fine that hes the prototype we recruit just bring in the enforcer type as well to help like forth/McNeil etc. Gotta have brutes to help with the T/L/S types. Cant just have one type and hope for success.

You don’t take four skinny lean guys. Don’t we EVER learn?
