Also wondering this. He looked more 6’5” in his videos.
Based on highlight reel on page 1 of this thread, he looks even shorter than 6.5 -- centimeters.
But I didn't watch it in full-screen mode.
Pretty impressive for a freshman. I was really impressed by a couple of those finishes and also how he seemed to be playing at a very controlled pace. Doesn’t seem super athletic but he’s seem like he has long arms and big hands (that putback dunk). Big hands are actually a really good predictor of success in the NBA so I assume that transfers to lower levels. Hopefully him and Bolton hit it off and build their games together next year!
I think this is a good player comparison. I’d take his Mississippi State numbers at ISU from johnson.

Was one of prohms first transfer recruits when he got the job.

I said "may" and I've never met TH to agree or disagree on what he likes or wants. I suspect most here haven't either. If he's given a 1st round grade then the writing may be on the wall.
So, he sits out this coming season as a redshirt? Sweet! Always good to keep a Trojan in your pocket!
Seems like a lot of high praise from unbiased observers. That's good.
Johnson seems like an ideal sit-out player. His talent is better than what his production is currently showing. I'm sure getting stronger and consistency with his jump shot will be points of emphasis next year. Seems like a good system fit as well just watching the way he plays and what Prohm values.

A little harsh. I thought it was solid
Welcome to CycloNATiON Javon.
After watching his highlight I am feeling a bit of Nader vibes with Johnson, guy who has out grown out of that level. Big long guard who can shoot from 3 or Talley with a jump shot, I can see why Prohm/Kane prioritized him for his system. The NBA potential quote Goodman provided is reassuring, especially since he gets a year to work on adding some strength and improving his game under the staff.
Boy I hope you are right. It's tough to compare a 10 & 4 track record to a guy that was averaging, what, 40%+ of NIUs points. Don't get me wrong, super happy to have him, but the Nader comparison feels a bit off. Besides, I'm not seeing the physicality that Nader had, even prior to coming to ISU. He may have the measurables to grow into that playstyle in an offseason, though, so here's hoping he gets there.
Cant help but envision the possible length of our frontcourt in '20/'21 if Xavier Foster is in Ames.
F-Johnson 6'7"
F-Conditt 6'10"
F-Foster 7'0"

Dooley was also shooting under 40% from 2 and under 30% from 3 both his years at NIU so he had to improve in that area. By the way, that 40% of points was 10 (Fresh) and 13 (Soph) a game (with 4 and 5 1/2 reb respectively).
You overthought it.
A. Among other things, the.”bad advice” is keeping the same “Trojan” in you wallet. Not just tucking one in you pocket whenever you go out. Where’d you learn your sex ed?
B. Having a condom >>>>>>> not having a condom. Keep it in your man purse, for all I care.
C. Shockingly, most of us on here can afford more than one.
D. Betcha I’m older than you are.
E. It’s a joke, Frances.
Anyway..,,
