RE: 2021-22 Hoops Transfers and Recruiting
MAC Transfer Update:
D.J. Johnson - Transferring from Rhode Island to Kent State - RS Junior - 6’7” - SF - 2* recruit from Brooklyn Collegiate - Johnson has moved around more than a bit in his collegiate career. He started out at Blinn College (JUCO - Brenham, TX) for one season and then transferred to Williston State (JUCO - Williston, ND) before finally landing at Rhode Island for two seasons. Somehow he’s just a RS Junior. Last season was the only season at URI he actually played in and he played in all 25 of the Rams games with 0 starts averaging 15 minutes and 4.3 ppg/2.8 rpg shooting 43.4% from the field (38.5% 3PT - 25 of 65) and 64.7% FT (11 of 17). He really doesn’t appear to be much more than a role/depth player for the Golden Flashes this year. Coming out of HS, Johnson received no offers. Coming out of Blinn, he received an offer from Norfolk State. And coming out of Williston, he received additional offers from Canisius, Alcorn State, and Eastern Illinois.
Cameron Healy - Transferring from Albany to Central Michigan - RS Junior - 6’3” - SG - 2* recruit from Montverde Academy Center for Basketball Development (Montverde, FL - born in Wahroonga, Australia) - Healy has spent three seasons at Albany. In his last season as a Great Dane, Healy played in 12 games (2 starts) averaging 11.4 minutes and 3.2 ppg/1.2 rpg shooting 26.1% from the field (23.1% 3PT - 6 of 26) and 88.9% FT (8 of 9). His stats in his first 2 seasons at Albany were much, much better when he was basically a full time starter. He started 32 of 32 games as a freshman and 23 of 31 as a sophomore. If he can regain his previous form, he could be a pretty good outside threat for the Chips. Coming out of HS, Healy received additional offers from Cal Poly, Canisius, and St. Francis (PA).
Brian Taylor - Transferring from UIC to Central Michigan - Sophomore - 6’6” - SG - 2* recruit from Detroit Edison Public School Academy - Taylor spent his first 2 collegiate seasons at UIC. In his last season as a Flame, Taylor played in 15 games (4 starts) averaging 13.1 minutes and 3.1 ppg/1.2 rpg shooting 50% from the field (31.8% 3PT - 7 of 22) and 50% FT (5 of 10). His freshman stats are a tad better but basically the same playing time and scoring average. He will most likely fill a bench role for the Chips. Coming out of HS, Taylor received additional offers from Northwood University (D-II - Midland, MI), Wayne State (D-II - Detroit, MI), Detroit Mercy, Canisius (this is the third consecutive player who was offered and turned down the Golden Griffins), Stony Brook, Little Rock, LIU, Elon, and Youngstown State.
