Coach Jay Lander and the Southern Miss basketball program continues to keep the recruiting momentum going forward with the recent commitment of 6'7 212 lbs SG Justin Johnson. The # 13 ranked basketball player in JUCO (JUCO Recruiting) is another that will come in and look to play immediately. With the recent transfer of Gabe Watson to Tulane, the Golden Eagles needed a guard who can drive and create his own shot, Johnson can do just that. He averaged 16.9 ppg, shot 50% from the floor, and 35.7% behind the arc, while grabbing 5.8 rpg.
