Another tall and lengthy prospect, that has been getting love from the collegiate level for a while now is Emerson Johnson Emerson Johnson 5'11" | CG Millard North | 2029 State NE of Elkhorn North High School. Johnson has the combination of length and smooth operating ability that is noteworthy. She is a little shorter than 6’0 at 5’10 but her size still makes a difference on both offense and defense. She is the type that is a CG that can either Post up with her length with her back to the bucket for a simple finish over the top or she can hit her defender with a counter or two to open up some space for an easier attempt. Defensively, she can guard her position, a position up, or a position down. She can switch to whichever matchup might be needed for the moment while her team gathers and then she can play from there. Johnson is leading her team in PPG and RPG to begin things this Winter for the Storm and I don’t think that will let up the rest the year.

Emerson Johnson Emerson Johnson 5'11" | CG Millard North | 2029 State NE is the other 2029 that holds a D1 offer and it happens to be from the same place as Ford in UNO out of Omaha. Johnson is that player that has great length at 5’10, she is coordinated and balanced in all of her actions, she is fundamental from every skill aspect of the game right now, and she seems to learn complex concepts within her own play-style each time that she is trying to get better. This is another one that will hold multiple Division-1 offers come the time she graduates in four years. It seems like a far ways away but time flys and before you know it, this is a hooper that we will be hearing about from a National Standpoint somewhere if she continues to get better.

2029 – Emerson Johnson Emerson Johnson 5'11" | CG Millard North | 2029 State NE grabbed her first Division-1 offer at start off the month of August when UNO out of Omaha gave the 5’10 CG an offer. Johnson is a really solid prospect at this point in her career and she is only going to get better with experience. Her mixture of height over 5’10 and skill as a scorer/disrupter is noteworthy. Elkhorn South has a varsity program with a young core but Johnson should be a Day 1 producer. If you watch her for just a few minutes, you see the poise and promise so this early interest makes a lot of sense.

The first offer for a 2029 prospect out of the state of Nebraska comes to Emerson Johnson Emerson Johnson 5'11" | CG Millard North | 2029 State NE of Elkhorn South High School. Johnson grabbed a D2-UNK offer over the past few days because of her play on the road to finish off the Summer AAU season. Johnson has fantastic size at 5’10 for her grade-level, she is extremely coordinated, she has natural skill, and she has the smarts to bring it all together. Obviously with someone who wasn’t played a possession of Varsity ball, there is a long way to go throughout her high school career but this is a GREAT start if you ask me.

One of the skilled ballers from this Class that will be joining Elkhorn South is Emerson Johnson Emerson Johnson 5'11" | CG Millard North | 2029 State NE . Johnson is a talented player from the 2,3, or 4 position right now. She can move between those spots and produce on both ends still but she is more of a natural as a guard. Her length gives her an advantage in most situations and I think she is going to use that a lot this Winter. Johnson has been someone we have spoken about for years now but it’s finally time to see what she can do. If it’s anything like we imagine, she should take the state of Nebraska by storm over the next four years.

One of the most promising young prospects out of the 2029 Class in Nebraska Is Emerson Johnson Emerson Johnson 5'11" | CG Millard North | 2029 State NE . Johnson is a 5’10 guard that will attend Elkhorn South High School. This is someone that I would be putting on Varsity right away this Winter so that to get use to the pace of play. Johnson’s got lengthy arms, a natural ability to score over smaller defenders, and she knows not to force unneeded action. When players are “good” when they are younger, they tend to be “chuckers”. As soon as they have the ball, it’s gotta go up for a shot but not Johnson. She knows where she makes her money, per se. She lets the defense pick what she is going to do and she adapts from there. It’ll be interesting to see how she moves into the system at Elkhorn South. If she is used in the right way, watch out.

Another individual that we have heard a good amount about prior to her joining high school is Emerson Johnson Emerson Johnson 5'11" | CG Millard North | 2029 State NE of Nebraska Attack UAA. Johnson has long arms, active hands, the ability to play inside-to-out, and a smart head on her shoulders. As a competitor because of her natural reach, Johnson is usually asked to maneuver between the blocks but I think that she will turn into more of a CG over her career. (Unless she continues to grow.) I wouldn’t say that she is a natural at one place over another on the court right now and that’s okay. If she does stay at this size and she works on her handle, vision, and ability to pass then she is going to be a tough recruit to contain. Like with everyone on this list, we are very, very early in this career but on her trajectory right now, this is someone who could be a Top Five player out of the 2029 Class before you know it.

I would consider Emerson Johnson Emerson Johnson 5'11" | CG Millard North | 2029 State NE as a lengthy guard, that can be moved around to play the Forward position if need be, depending on the size of the teammates around her. She stands at right around 5’9 and her guard like tendencies make her an interesting player to know moving into her 8th grade season. From what I’ve seen, she has better than average coordination, a soft touch on the ball, and she understands the game from an X’s and O’s standpoint. Those three things are going to help her in major ways once she gets to the high school floor, where ever that may be.
