It’s hard to believe it’s taken this long. Michigan State had been keeping a close eye on four-star 2020 power forward Carlos Johnson for some time, but hadn’t extended an offer — until Monday.
The talented forward from Benton Harbor, Mich., tweeted the good news and it begged the question, what took so long?
Tom Izzo does usually like to take his time when considering an offer to certain players and he has seen some growth from Johnson over the years. The 6-foot-6, 210-pound junior is more of a tweener as he probably wouldn’t play primarily power forward for the Spartans and rather more on the wing, but he’s aggressive enough to play down low.
