Alabama extended an offer to 2023 point guard R.J. Johnson on Thursday. The native of Huntsville, Alabama was originally scheduled to commit on August 22. However, he and his family have since pushed his commitment date back to September. When asked by Crimson Crossover’s Matt Landry, here is what Johnson had to say about a commitment date:
“My family and I have decided to wait until after Labor Day.”
It certainly makes things interesting considering that he previously released a top five, according to Trent Markwith of Relentless Hoops. The teams that were reportedly in the mix were Tulane, Alabama, Georgia, Wichita State, and Florida Atlantic.
Since then, Alabama extended Johnson an official offer. It appears like it is a two-team race between the Bulldogs and Crimson Tide. Johnson is a prospect to keep a close eye on.
