Jasper Johnson, one of the top shooting guards in 2025 class, will no longer be taking an official visit to Baylor on March 4th, a source told On3. The trip will be rescheduled to a later date.

The 6-foot-4 shooting guard from Link Academy (MO) has already taken five other official visits — MissouriKentucky, North Carolina, Auburn, and West Virginia.

Johnson is ranked No. 12 nationally in the On3 Industry Ranking.

The Lexington, Kentucky native announced his top 10 schools last month — Alabama, Auburn, Baylor, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Missouri, North Carolina, Southern California, and West Virginia.

Reclassifying?

Johnson has long been rumored as a reclass candidate, but he says for now, he’s planning to stay in the 2025 class and further develop before he gets to college.

“All my schools are open to me reclassing to 2024, but as of right now, I think I’ll be staying in the 2025 class. Reclassing up is an option, but I think I will probably stay in 2025.”

What he’s looking for in a school

“Somewhere where I can play my role, play my game,” Johnson says. “A coaching staff that really trusts in me and believes in me. Somewhere with a vision and a plan for me. Hopefully I can go to college for 9 months and then be a lottery (pick).”

Jasper Johnson Scouting Report

“Jasper Johnson is a lefty with nice size and good length. What he does is shoot the ball. Johnson has deep range that extends well beyond the three-point arc, and he is at he’s best in catch and shoot or with one/two dribble pull-ups. Would like to see Johnson tighten the handle, can struggle once he is in the paint. Lacks blow by burst at this point to get past his man at the point of attack. Has a crafty lay-up package around the basket, especially with the left hand. Solid explosion with a running start. Can get beat off the bounce in the open floor on defense. Will use both hands to dribble, but most of the time it comes back to his left hand. The range extends well beyond the three-point arc. Plays with a lot of confidence. Can get you into sets. Dad played football at Kentucky and NFL.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
