One-on-one with Anthony Johnson

I reached 2010 point guard Anthony Johnson of Chicago Whitney Young by phone this afternoon and he confirmed what has been reported on some recruiting sites, that he intends to make an unofficial visit to Ohio State this month. He said he does not know when, that he was invited to an ?elite camp? coaches are planning sometime this month but does not know if that will be when he makes it to town.
Johnson said he already has visited Illinois, Purdue, Notre Dame, Marquette and Iowa State and has offers from Illinois, Iowa, Iowa State, Purdue, Miami (Fla.), Notre Dame ?and another school I can?t mention right now . . . (but) people know which school it is.?
That school is Ohio State, but Johnson may be playing coy and waiting to announce it after coach Thad Matta ?officially? offers him. That?s the way Matta likes to operate. Northland junior Jared Sullinger, for example, didn?t ?officially? get his offer until Matta invited him and his father to campus one day last year.
There is speculation that Johnson will make a commitment to Ohio State when he visits.
?That?s possible,? he said. ?I?m not sure yet, but that?s possible. But that?s for any school.
?I want to see the campus before I pick a certain school. If I see a certain campus and I like it that much, I could commit as early as tomorrow. But I think I?m going to end up waiting.?
