UNLV basketball recruiting: Rebels pick up 2016 commit Carlos Johnson

Coach Dave Rice has had success with Findlay Prep, and now gathers more talent for the 2016 season.

Three-star swingman Carlos Johnson has committed to the UNLV Runnin' Rebels for the 2016 season.

Johnson, 6-4 and 220 pounds, recently transferred from El Cerrito High School to Findlay Prep in Las Vegas, and now follows a long line of UNLV players who made the transition from Findlay Prep to Dave Rice's squad.

Johnson is a superior athlete. He owns an arsenal of moves driving through the lane as well as finishing around the basket. He's a hard-nosed player that has no problem doing the dirty work; playing tough defense and grabbing rebounds from his wing position.
