Could be to put a little pressure on Noskowiak to re-commit.

And they should. Recruiting is a two-way street.

I hope Wojo personally connected on this one. From PG to another, new HC to a recruit spurned by the departed HC...

Johnson also has offers from Creighton, Iowa St., Minnesota, Providence, UCLA and Becky, among others. Lots of ground to cover yet.

Big week coming up for Jarvis. Tyus gone, time to lead Pulley in the EYBL.

An expanded role for PG Johnson
Jarvis Johnson spent last spring and summer as the understudy for one of the nation’s premier players, Tyus Jones, while playing up with the Howard Pulley 17U EYBL squad.
This year, with Jones moving on to Duke, it’s Johnson’s team.
“It’s different,” Johnson said Friday at the Midwest Spring Tune-Up at Kingdom Courts. “I’ve really got to pick up from where Tyus left off, but I think we’ve got a good group of guys this year and we can go far.
“It’s a lot but I think I can handle it.”
Filling Jones’ shoes means more than just trying to replicate his high-level play.
“Just being a leader as much as I can,” Johnson said. “Not a lot of guys played out here last year so I have to step up and be the leader I can be.”
Marquette and new coach Steve Wojciechowski have entered the picture for Johnson’s recruitment.
“I’ve recently been talking to Marquette since they got the new coach,” Johnson said. “Me and him have got to know each other a little bit and Kansas still.
“Those are probably the latest two.”
Iowa State still remains in the picture for Johnson, whose sister Seanna plays for the ISU women’s team.
“Yeah, they are,” Johnson said. “It’s good. I talk to (assistant) Matt (Abdelmassih).”
Johnson hopes to attend the LeBron James Skills Academy along with the Kyrie Irving point guard camp this summer.

Way to work, Wojo! Keep hitting the trails!

Matt Gravett (247 minnesota) has stated MU has a lot of ground to make up:
"Jarvis Johnson has been re-offered by Marquette. #mubb has a lot of makeup work to do to catch the #Gophers and #Badgers. Chew and Buzz never made Johnson a priority with Noskowiak already committed."
Widely speculated that Minnesota & UW out in front. I think he has 4 visits on record to Becky. Curious to those who might know; has Jarvis ever been on campus @ MU?
Memphis & Kansas are pondering offering.
