Johnson committed to Syracuse in February 2020, but the Orange and Johnson decided to move in different directions last November. 

"First off I want to thank the entire Syracuse coaching staff for investing their time into me," Johnson said on Twitter regarding his decommitment. "They have treated me with the utmost respect which is why they will remain one of my top schools. With that being said I would like to reopen my commitment and look at all my options and do what's best for me and my career. Please respect my decision thank you."

Johnson may still elect to go pro. There have been reports that the NBL in Australia is offering more than $1.2 million to play there for a year before heading to the NBA. Johnson could even sign a national letter of intent and still turn pro, as former Syracuse signee Darius Bazley did in a previous recruiting cycle. 

Johnson is also looking for a new high school. He transferred in to Oak Hill Academy last year, before transferring out to Corona Centennial after a brief stay. He is expected to find a new school for his senior season, which would be his fourth in total. Johnson is considered one of the elite point guards in the 2022 class.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
