FULL COURT PRESS: SONNY JOHNSON COULD BE BUILDING AN OHIO STATE PIPELINE AT GARFIELD HEIGHTS
Welcome to Full Court Press, our basketball version of The Hurry Up. Full Court Press will appear weekly during the basketball offseason, with hoops recruiting in full swing.
Alonzo Gaffney's April 10th commitment to Ohio State gave Chris Holtmann his first big recruit since arriving in Columbus. The top recruit in the state for the 2019 class, Gaffney is the kind of player that can start immediately for the Buckeyes when he arrives on campus, and a talent that Holtmann can build his program around.
His talent is not lost on anyone, especially his high school head coach Sonny Johnson, who told Eleven Warriors that not only is Gaffney physically gifted, but also has the desire to further elevate his game.
"A lot of it has to do with his character, being a great kid and wanting to learn and get better," Johnson said. "When you have a kid with that type of talent that wants to do what it takes to be elite, as far as the way he listens and asks questions, that always helps."
While Gaffney is the unquestioned leader and star of the Garfield Heights program, the Bulldogs are not without a plethora of talent around him.
The son of the late Brent Darby, Brent Darby Jr., plays alongside Gaffney as well as Johnson's nephew Meechie, who was offered by Ohio State as a high school freshman on Nov. 29. Meechie, a member of the 2021 class, scored 50 points in a game last season and is widely regarded as one of the top players in the state in his class already.
This depth of talent could serve as a pipeline of sorts for Ohio State basketball, which has made a positive impression on Johnson and his players with the way they have attacked recruiting.
"The way they are recruiting kids early. They are recruiting them early and letting them know how much it means to be a Buckeye," Johnson said. "The way they create a family atmosphere, their honesty. You get a coach that is really up-front with you, showing they have a family base, a lot of kids want to be a part of that."

emanuel miller
through 15 games this aau season (on nike circuit):
11.1 points
65/116 (56%) overall
33/47 (70%) from the line
3/11 (27%) behind the arc
5.4 rebounds
0.9 assists
2.9 turnovers
0.9 blocks
similar stats to liddell. primary differences i see are that miller is a bit more of a 3 while liddell is a bit more of a 4 (especially on defense), miller is more finesse while liddell is more rugged, and miller pushes his game a bit harder than liddell. miller appears to have a slightly higher ceiling while liddell appears to have a slightly higher floor. liddell probably pairs a little better with gaffney than miller might, though.
