OHIO STATE
Illinois guard says she will be a Buckeye
Wednesday, October 11, 2006
Brittany Johnson, a prolific shooting guard from East Richland High School in Olney, Ill., confirmed last night that she planned to play in 2007-08 for Ohio State.
Johnson, 17, said that she chose the Buckeyes over Michigan State and Iowa.
"I visited twice," she said. "I liked Ohio State. The girls were nice and the coaching staff was fantastic. I felt like I would fit in and fulfill my dreams there. I don?t want to sit for a long time. I want to play."
Last season, Johnson averaged 31.7 points, seven rebounds, three assists and 3.8 steals. She has scored 2,829 points in her career and is expected to break the Illinois prep scoring record of 3,403 points this season.
"I really don?t pay attention to points," she said. "I want to win and I?m willing to do whatever it takes to win. I can make shots, but I like to make plays for my teammates."
Per NCAA rules, coach Jim Foster cannot comment on recruits.
