A 6-foot-8, 235-pound power forward from St. Louis, Mo., Johnson comes to K-State from Parkway North High School, where he earned second team all-state honors as a senior for coach Russell Vincent in 2011-12.

Johnson averaged 16.3 points on 64.6 percent shooting (190-of-294) from the field to go with 11.9 rebounds, 5.0 blocks, 1.6 steals and 1.2 assists per game in 28 games as a senior. He led the Vikings in points, field goal percentage, rebounding and blocks, while he ranked among the area leaders in both blocks (second) and rebounding (fourth). He collected 18 double-doubles in 2011-12, while he tallied nine 20-point games, three 20-rebound games and 14 games of five or more blocked shots. He also registered triple-doubles on back-to-back nights, including a 19-point, 15-rebound, 14-block effort vs. Summit on Jan. 3 and a 14-point, 11-rebound, 10-block performance vs. Hazelwood West on Jan. 4. His 14 blocks vs. Summit were a season-high.

Johnson selected K-State over a number of scholarship offers, including those from Alabama, Colorado State, Memphis, Minnesota and Virginia Tech.

KWCH is a little late to the party. My boss, KSU alum, told me about that sometime last week.

I had read about Darrell Johnson when he verballed, sounds like a good get, especially late. But I really think the Cats needed an outside shooter more than another forward. Glad to see Weber is being decent and letting Laimonas Chatkevicius out of his LOI. I realize I wear purple shades, but I really think Weber may be a good fit for KSU. Time will tell, of course.

I believe SIU was after this guy harder than anyone. I'm guessing that's why he's at KSU now. Chalk this one up to Lowery...
