Yes please. We like rim protection and we could always use a lunker.

Love everything I saw in that video. What are you waiting for young man, sign here & please reclassify. Just saying, he could help right now

[ShockingButTrue]

Let's do this...

[Spaulding]

Write up from San Diego newspaper. SDSU pursuing him pretty hard.

Bryan Penn-Johnson (7-0, 215): He played JV as a freshman, was hurt as a sophomore and sat out as a junior after transferring to Wasatch Academy in Utah. “I feel like a lot of people didn’t know about me before,” he said last spring. They do know. The major recruiting services rate him a four-star prospect, and Jerry Meyer of 24/7 Sports calls him “perhaps the biggest stock raiser of summer.” Arizona is on him, as is Cal, Washington and Utah. He’s getting calls from UCLA and Kansas. The product of a 7-3 father and 6-5 mother, he can touch the rim on his tip toes with his 7-7 wingspan while displaying remarkable athleticism for his size. To their credit, the Aztecs got involved early. But the secret is out now and the big boys are showing up at his games.

Not signing for Wichita St. awesome basketball scholarship.

Edit - reverse psychology.

247 Sports caught up with Bryan recently. http://247sports.com/Article/Catchin...Wash-105379795

Sounds like he lost over sixty pounds within the last year. Kid has a 7'8 wingspan. He mentions KU, Arizona, Oregon, UCLA and Washington but says his recruitment is wide open. Looking to cut his list in December so he will probably be a spring signee.

I can only imagine the faces when this family sits down at the buffet table.

Now this guy has some long arms.

[Sam Axe]

VC has him for 20 offers, I think it's a lot higher. I was browsing some random schools and literally every one I looked at had offered this kid. At least 10 that were not included on that Verbal Commits list of offers. The situation reminds me of Tony Bradley from Florida who (whom?) we offered early and remained in contention to get for quite a while, only to lose out unsurprisingly to a blue blood. My prediction is that he's a one and done player that gets drafted in the 1st round.

Gregg was out watching Bryan tonight. This would be a lunker...

[shockmonster]

It looks like Gregg and company are making progress with Penn-Johnson. It sounds like we are in his top 3 at this time with Kansas and Washington, although things can change quickly That is exciting because he has a high ceiling and could be a game changer.

This kid would be a tremendous signing!

Is this the one that if we sign, KU turns us in to NCAA for investigation?
