Johnson is going to start off in Rivals rankings as the #6 player in the entire country. The reason why they think so highly of him, is because one of the top dawgs of that company (Bobby Burton) saw Johnson up-close and personal at some 7-on-7's and he was very impressed to say the least. Burton said on the Texas Rivals Message Board, that Johnson was the best athlete that he's ever seen at any 7-on-7 and that he is an amazing player. I think that is really why Rivals thinks of him so highly. Well, that and every major school offering the kid early.
My prediction: Johnson starts off as the #6 player in the country in Rivals' initial rankings. If Johnson comes back from he injury strong, they keep him at #6 or even move him up. If he comes back slow and struggles, they gradually move him out of the Top 10 into the lower part of the 28, but still keep him as a 5* player. Rivals only gives out 28 5*'s, and once they make a kid a Top 10 player, he rarely gets downgraded to a 4* or moves out of the Top 28.
