Like a hit song catching on in the high school hallways of America (or on Spotify), Samson Johnson is rocketing up the charts.
When Johnson signed his national letter of intent to attend UConn back in November, the 6-foot-11 forward was rated the No. 71 recruit in the nation by ESPN, behind fellow UConn commits Jordan Hawkins (No. 60) and Rahsool Diggins (No. 69).
