CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Since his jumper in the regional final sent East Tech to the state semifinal, Scarabs freshman Markell Johnson has become one of the most popular local basketball recruits in the Class of 2017.

As his recruitment soars, Johnson, who is being looked at by schools including Ohio State and Michigan State, spoke with Zach Fleer of Land-Grant Holy Land about East Tech and being courted by college coaches.

When asked if any particular school would be a top choice for Johnson, he singled out an SEC school and perhaps gave a hint to where a fellow big-time Cleveland recruit might be headed.

"Just like my man Carlton Bragg, [it's] Kentucky," Johnson told Fleer.

Johnson also spoke on what type of player he is and how focused he is on his sport.

"I am a humble young man that does nothing but play basketball," Johnson told Fleer. "I'm also a pass-first point guard but when my team needs points, I do the best that I can."

Carlton Bragg goes to Kansas...

He's the one that mistakenly announced for Kentucky in his press conference last year.
