Why Keon Johnson is a building block for Tennessee basketball's elite recruiting class
Posted Aug 13, 2019
Mike Couey has no doubts about Keon Johnson the basketball player. Couey, the director of AAU program Elite Amateur Basketball, sees an elite defender and an offensive talent who can reach an unguardable level. But he also sees Johnson as a building block for Tennessee's recruiting class because of his character. "Keon is a guy that everyone wants to play with."
