Dior Johnson Announces Commitment To Oregon

Jun 23, 2021 1:21 AM

Dior Johnson, the No. 15 prospect in ESPN's class of 2022, committed to Oregon on Tuesday.

"I wanted to commit now because I felt like Oregon was the place for me. I am a person who is big on relationships and trust. The relationship I have been able to establish with Coach Altman is special and being that he is a legendary coach, I feel that learning from him on a daily basis on and off the court will be huge for my development," said the five-star prospect.

Johnson initially committed to Syracuse in February 2020 before reopening his recruitment.

Johnson has played for several high profile schools, including Findlay Prep, IMG and Oak Hill Academy. He is currently undecided as to where he will play his senior season before enrolling at Oregon.

Augustas Marciulionis Commits To Saint Mary's

Jun 17, 2021 1:44 AM

International prospect Augustas Marciulionis announced his commitment to Saint Mary's on Wednesday.

The 19-year-old point guard, the son of Sarunas Marciulionis, is arguably the top international prospect committing to the college route. 

"The idea of coming to the United States with the possibility to study and play basketball at a very high level was always in my mind. However, the past 5-6 months has been tough for me in finally deciding whether I want to go to the NCAA and to which college, but I knew inside that I might regret not giving myself a chance to play college basketball, about which I've only heard great things," said Marciulionis.

Marciulionis played in Lithuania's first division last season, starting 22 games.
