          Jamie was from St. Patrick's -- a N.J. hoops powerhouse, but not a prep school.

                  Keyontae has an official visit to Georgia Tech scheduled for October 7 but that's it as far as other visits go at this point.

                  Sounds like his top five schools are WSU, Georgia Tech, Ohio State, SMU and Vanderbilt. Vandy just picked up a commitment from a small forward in Aaron Nesmith yesterday, so that probably counts them out now. Ohio State just picked up a commitment from Top 100 small forward Jaedon LeDee yesterday, so that might eliminate the Buckeyes. Georgia Tech also already has a small forward commit. Some teams may be recruiting Keyontae as shooting guard, but WSU is definitely recruiting him to primarily fill a small forward position.



                  "SMU, it's been good communication," Johnson told Pony Stampede. "I talk with their head coach almost every day. I like how they play at a good pace. And the team seems like they bond together. The coaches bond with the team really well too, so I think that should be a good fit for me."
                  The 6-foot-5, 190-pound Johnson said he can see his game translating to SMU's playing style.
                  "I feel like I can fit in," Johnson said. "I play the fast break. Thats' where I think I'm best at now. On the defensive end, I think I play pretty well too. I really try to engage on both ends of the floor."

                  Johnson also said Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt and Wichita State have been recruiting him steadily.
                  "At Wichita, I think I fit as a three-man and they'll lose some guys there next year, so I could play right away," Johnson said. "Georgia Tech, they've been talking with me since the end of my last high school season. Vanderbilt, they followed me all AAU season and they think I could fit in really well right away."

                    Probably from years of being stuck in the Hampton Norfolk tunnel

                      Offered today by Florida. Not sure if that'll change anything or not.

                        Keyontae is taking an official visit to Texas Tech this weekend. Also scheduled to visit Georgia Tech next weekend. Minnesota is also fighting hard for an official visit. I would say those are the top four schools (including WSU) at this point.

                            Keyontae's more highly-rated twin brother (Keldon) seems destined for Kentucky. Would have to say WSU would be a nice destination for Keyontae if that ends up happening.
