UC Riverside adds guard

Point guard Tajai Johnson ended his recruitment earlier this week when he verbally committed to UC Riverside.

ESPN.com Recruiting Coordinator Joel Francisco breaks down this commitment.

"Tajai Johnson is a great pick up for Riverside," Francisco said. "He is one of the more underrated point guards out west. He has a burst off the dribble and an uncanny ability to find open teammates in tight spaces.

"The combination of Johnson and 6-foot-2 Dayton Boddie (Oceanside, Calif./El Camino) should provide the Highlanders with a talented and hardnosed backcourt for the future."

Johnson and Boddie join Tre'Von Owens in the Highlanders 2012 class.
