Ricardo Johnson's Basketball Diary

By: Ricardo Johnson

The is the first part in a series of posts written by Ricardo Johnson about his life, recruitment, and pursuit of back-to-back KY State Championships.

In this edition Ricardo recaps last year, updates his recruitment, and gives us a look into the upcoming 2009-2010 season.

Dear Fans,

Last year’s state championship was hard work. Becoming a good basketball player and a good team isn’t easy. It takes working out every day. Doing the little things. Sometimes I’ll even do push ups and sit ups at home, knowing they’ll make a difference in my game.

How hard you work could help you reach your goals. It could result in winning awards such as a state championship, state tourney MVP, and Defensive Player of the Year. You could also be recruited by some of the top basketball programs in the country. Once upon a time, I was hearing from Xavier, UC, Oklahoma State, Butler and many more.

I recently took an official visit to Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois. Being my first visit, and traveling alone, I liked it. It reminded me so much of Covington and Cincinnati and how they are close to one another. To me the campus was like Holmes High School…on a hill, not too big, not too small, but just right.

This experience is so unique. I have more visits to look forward to.

I’m also looking forward to another hard working season and earning another State Championship. We can achieve it with the hard work of my teammates and the time we put in the gym.

I’ll keep you updated on my progress.

Sincerely,

Ricardo Johnson
