Former Kansas combo guard signee Chris Johnson requested a release from his NLI earlier this month and reopened his recruitment.

Now, the Class of 2023 guard out of Monteverde Academy has cut his list to 3 with the start of the 2023-24 season inching closer and closer. Washington was named as a finalist alongside Arkansas and Texas.

It seems like it will be a tough ask to sway the Missouri City, Texas native away from the Longhorns, but the Huskies will look completely different from last year to 2023 and could offer a spot for Johnson to see playing time sooner rather than later.

Johnson is the No. 52 overall prospect in the country, as well as the No. 11 CG and No. 3 player out of Texas according to 247Sports.
