For graduate transfer and men’s basketball center Jayce Johnson, his path to Marquette started with associate head coach Stan Johnson.
“When Stan Johnson was at ASU, that was one school I was really wanting to go after,” Johnson said. “(When) he left, my dad has always had a good relationship with him and when I was opened up to recruitment, we started talking again.”
While the adjustment to Marquette’s style of play hasn’t been seamless, Johnson is expected to play a crucial role at post for head coach Steve Wojciechowksi’s roster.
“At first it was a struggle,” Johnson said.
