Has anyone else noticed that 247Sports recruits has him listed as 100% chance of committing to TN? I know this isn't exact but Ohio Sate seems very much still in it. I guess time will tell.

That's from a different article on 247

Yeah, the RTI article from @calban is a good one, but Snow's 247 article apparently includes direct quotes from Johnson. And you'd think that Snow would have cb'd Keon somewhere since he just had a conversation with him.

As far as the crystal balls go, only Ramey's is the one I'm considering since that's the only one posted since Keon's official to OSU.

I'm not worried, in fact, I'm already counting Keon and Walker in the '20 class and I expect both will end up 5 stars. Now steal PJ Hall from Florida and get Hayes to reclassify and be a Vol, that class will be almost perfect. I really believe that will be the '20 class, but as chris has pointed out, I'm overly optimist

Three weeks is an eternity in the recruiting world. Odds are highly likely that Keon will be a Vol, but I don't think it's wise to assume that the commitment is already a done deal. I'd at least wait for a flurry of crystal balls.

The flurry has pretty much already happened.

I'm counting on you, Dog, to make sure that comes true! If it's not too much to ask, can you find us one more a la carte 5-star in addition to the expected gains, please.

Not really. When word starts to trickle out about a player's impending commitment, you'll generally see about 6+ crystal balls fall almost all at once. However, there has been only 1 crystal ball for Keon to UT over the last two months. Top recruiting analysts like Brian Snow, Evan Daniels, Evan Flood, Josh Gershon, and others still haven't submitted.

Most noteworthy is Brian Snow's absence among the crystal balls. Despite interviewing Keon only days ago, Snow is yet to forecast him to UT.

The grand finale is in Colorado Springs this weekend where the entire staff will be on hand to see (and be seen) Keon Johnson taking part in a USA Basketball training camp at the national team’s facility. The countdown is on for Johnson’s public announcement on Aug. 6. He hasn’t let anything slip, and you can’t take anything for granted in recruiting until it’s over, but this one continues to feel like it’s trending in Tennessee’s direction.

Response from Eric Bossi (Rivals) when asked who he thinks is next to pull the trigger..
I guess I will take the layup here considering Keon Johnson has set an announcement date for August 6th. The high flyer from Tennessee is down to the Volunteers and Ohio State. He's an easy fit for any of them but given his proximity to campus and the success that the Vols are having under Rick Barnes, I see them as his ultimate pick.

Maybe I’m crazy, but eliminating UVA worries me a bit. Tells me OSU is very much in the picture, otherwise why just eliminate the one?

I don't think you're crazy, but if you eliminate two then there is no need for an announcement.

Right. I’m just thinking if he’s made up his mind and just waiting in the announcement for the hype, why not just leave the UVA hat on the table?

His defense could be Josh Richardson-like. He already has a better offensive game than J-Rich did when he first got here.

This kid is going to be special.
