"We are very excited to welcome these three young men into our basketball family," said Jordan. "They each possess a special skill set that will help us build a winning program. Competing in the Big Ten is very challenging. It's essential to have players that not only have the ability to compete at a high level, but the drive and enthusiasm to attack the process. We believe Corey, Kejuan and Justin have these important qualities."

The 50th overall forward in the class of 2015 according to ESPN.com, Johnson is slated as a three-star recruit by ESPN, Rivals.com and 247Sports.com.
