In this episode of the Locked On Big Board Podcast, hosts Rafael Barlowe, James Barlowe, and Leif Thulin dive deep into Tre Johnson’s 29-point performance against Ohio State, delivering a lively mix of praise and critique. 

Rafael and James were particularly impressed, labeling Johnson a “Professional Scorer” thanks to his polished shot-making and versatility on offense. They highlighted his debut as a strong indication of his potential at the next level. 

Leif, however, offered a different take, raising concerns about Johnson’s shot selection and questioning whether Texas’s offensive system might be impacting his decision-making.
