But when Hall of Fame coach John Calipari left for Arkansas in the spring, Johnson’s recruitment became much less of a slam dunk. Suddenly, the hometown favorite was competing with another blue blood in UNC, as well as a “new blood” in Alabama, fresh off its first Final Four appearance. Johnson grew up a Tar Heels fan, and those feelings grew after he attended a UNC-Duke game last seas
on.
