Oso planning to go pro
We'll see how it works offensively, but Johnson could lead to some ferocious zone defense looks. Guys like McEwen, Elliott, and Anim in the backcourt, wings like Cain & Bailey, and shot blockers like Theo, Ed, and Johnson inside could be interesting. Would really be effective against teams that struggle to score from outside.
From a personal perspective, next year is going to look very different from past Wojo teams. Put me in the camp that's still extremely worried about shooting and floor spacing. We need bodies, so I'm not against Johnson coming in. But, I do have my doubts on Wojo making the necessary adjustments to his scheme. These personal changes haven't been entirely dictated by him, so wondering about fit I feel is a valid concern.
Just checked his stats, he's never even taken a 3 and shoots .490 from the line... so definitely not a shooter. He can score at the hoop, can rebound, and can foul. If I'm Ed Morrow, I'm shooting 500 jumpers a day, and then about 1200 more. That 4 spot is there for the taking.
Welcome to the program, young man!Ben Steele @BenSteeleMJSBreaking #mubb news: Marquette has landed 7-foot Utah grad transfer Jayce Johnson, according to a source. He averaged 7.1 points and 7.7 rebounds per game last season for the Utes. Eligible immediately.
Let's see Georgetown's guards try to get to the rim now if Jayce and Theo are in the game together defending the paint.

Yep, I thinks that is a Plan for ED.
Will fit perfectly to create that 3 headed monster down low. Now let’s sign Baker and bring on Symir for next year and we will be set.
Im guessing this is hard to believe for some
Glad to add a big body for rebounds, blocks, depth, fouls.I think Morrow will play a little 4, but it will depend on matchups (as so much does). When we play a big team, we can use a Theo-Ed or Jayce-Ed combo. When other teams go small, it will not be the best to have both out there, just as it sometimes was tough to have Joey out there on D against a smaller guy.If I had my druthers, I'd have preferred a tall, athletic wing who can hit 3s. But so would everybody else. So I'm not disappointed in this at all.Welcome to the 2019-20 Big East champion Warriors!
Morrow to PF... morrow was solid last year down low. Here’s hoping he is working on his 6-8 foot jumper
