Rob Jeter On Kevin Johnson

"Kevin is a player with great potential who is extremely athletic and can play both forward positions. He possesses the type of length we need at the front of the press and will give us another athlete in the frontcourt. He is also a tremendous student and is very excited about the opportunity to get his education at Milwaukee."
