Dakari Johnson Commits To Kentucky

Jan 6, 2013 2:50 PM

Dakari Johnson committed to Kentucky on Saturday.

Johnson, the No. 1 center in the 2013 incoming class, chose Kentucky over Syracuse and Georgetown.

"I just want to win a national championship," Johnson said. "I want to win a high school championship, then a college championship and hopefully an NBA championship.

"(The coaching staff) told me this was not the place to come if I didn't want to work hard," he added. "But I want to work hard and I want to get pushed. And I think Kentucky is the place for me."

Johnson made his decision after No. 1 Montverde defeated Simeon by a final score of 82-53.

Johnson reclassified from 2014 to 2013 in November.
