Hoops star Tre Johnson Longhorn career off to impressive start

Through 14 games, Johnson has not disappointed

Coming into the 2024-2025 campaign, expectations were high for Longhorns freshman Tre Johnson. The talented guard was ranked as the fifth-best player in his class by 247 Sports Composite, ESPN, and Rivals. Through 14 games, Johnson has not disappointed.

So far this season, Johnson has been one of the Longhorns’ best players. He is averaging a team-high 18.9 points per game while shooting 47.5 percent from the field. As Texas has gotten off to an 11-5 start, Johnson has shown he can carry a team with no signs of slowing down.

Additionally, he has excelled from beyond the arc. Entering play on Sunday, the Texas native was shooting 41.1 % from three-point range. That is the fourth-best mark on the team, trailing only Nic Codie, Jamie Vinson, and Arthur Kaluma.

As Johnson looks to build on his success, he coming off one of his best games of the season. On Saturday against Tennessee, Johnson scored 26 points which was his most in a game since November eighth. It marked the fifth time this season that Johnson scored more than 20 points in a game.

While the regular season is far from over, it is already apparent that the Longhorns have a star in Johnson. He can impact in many ways and has had no issue with being in the spotlight.

What Johnson does for the rest of the season should be fun to watch, as he has been a human highlight over the last few months for the Longhorns.

4-star PF Nic Codie on visiting Auburn: ‘I had to come find out what it’s about’

Auburn received Nic Codie’s final visit before his commitment on Nov. 2.

[autotag]Nic Codie[/autotag] is nearing the end of his recruitment but before then, he had to make one last visit. The four-star power visit was in Auburn to check out the basketball program as well as watch the football team beat Mississippi State inside Jordan-Hare Stadium.

This visit gave him plenty to consider.

“This is the last chance,” Codie told Auburn Undercover’s Jason Caldwell. “When I get home, me and my family are going to discuss it and talk about it the whole week. I had to take this visit because Auburn has a lot to offer. Their past and development of players is really intriguing. I had to come find out what it’s about.”

Down to Auburn, Houston, LSU, Miami, TCU and Virginia Tech, he explained the three main factors in his decision, which will come on Nov. 2.

“I’m looking for a place that’s like family,” he said. “A place I can have fun at. That’s a real big thing to me. Also, where I can win. I have a winning attitude. Also, someone that can develop me into a pro. Those are the three main things along with a coaching staff that can make my family feel comfortable sending me to.”

Auburn is in the running to land the No. 6 power forward from the 2024 class.

[autotag]Bruce Pearl[/autotag] might be on his way to signing another top recruit.

[autotag]Nic Codie[/autotag], a 6-foot-8 forward from Carrollton, Texas, listed Auburn among his top choices.

Other than Auburn, Houston, LSU, Miami, TCU, Texas, and Virginia Tech are in the running.

In an interview with On3’s Joe Tipton, Codie says that he wants to go to a program that can develop him, as well as provide a family atmosphere.

“I want a coach that is going to develop me and let me know,” Codie said. I don’t want to play in a system that just focuses on one part of my game, I want to grow and develop my entire game. Early playing time is something that I’m looking at. I want to be at a place I can compete for early minutes.”

Codie is a four-star recruit according to On3. He is the No. 37 player in the class of 2024, the No. 6 power forward, and the No. 2 player in the state of Texas.

LSU makes the cut for top-60 power forward prospect

The Tigers are still looking for their first commitment in the 2024 class.

LSU is still searching for the first commitment in its 2024 basketball recruiting class, but coach [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] has the Tigers in the mix for a number of top prospects.

One of them is four-star Carrolton (Tex.) Newman Smith power forward [autotag]Nic Codie[/autotag], who ranks as the No. 55 player nationally according to both 247Sports and On3. Codie recently trimmed his list of programs down to seven, and LSU made the cut.

Also included in that group are Auburn, Houston, Miami, TCU, Texas and Virginia Tech.

The 6-foot-8 prospect has already taken official visits to Houston and TCU, while Texas hosted him unofficially. The Cougars are a slim favorite followed by the Horned Frogs and Longhorns.

LSU has some work to do here, but Codie would be an incredible pickup for this class. The Tigers will hope to get him on campus before he makes a decision.
