Blake Johnson '23 Recruiting Profile

You know honestly, I don't have that big of a story. Just a young hooper trying to make it somewhere . Might sound weird to you speaking of the fact that I'm trying to get "recruited" but it's not because I'm not like everybody else, I don't have these big dreams and don't work for them. I work hard for mines. Every time I step on the court I take it seriously no joking around ... I mean maybe a little here and there but even in the classroom, it's serious for me. People always tell me to chill out or have some fun but coming from a family where nobody really went to college or did anything with their lives, I want to be the one to say " momma I made it " to make her proud is all I really want. Ever since my grandmother passed away almost a year ago things haven't been the same. I'm trying to set an example for my little brother, my nieces, my nephews. I wanna show them that you can do it !! No matter how many people tell you-you can't. You can do anything, everything is possible if you believe in yourself physically and mentally. Do I think I'm the best player there is? Yes, I do. why ? because my coach from 1st-7th grade (my dad ) taught me to have that mindset. My grandma always told me to follow my passion and not my dream, and well ... This is my passion there's nothing I love better than basketball. And that's a promise
