The state's top-ranked girls' basketball recruit in the Class of 2023, St. Michael-Albertville guard Tessa Johnson, will announce her college selection Wednesday morning.
Johnson's coach, Kent Hamre, said she would reveal her decision at 8 a.m. Johnson has narrowed her list to three schools: Minnesota, Baylor and South Carolina. She is 25th in ESPN's HoopGurlz national ratings, 12 spots ahead of Hopkins guard 5-11 Nunu Agara, who has committed to Stanford.
Johnson averaged 21.5 points per game as a junior. She was coming back from a broken femur in her left leg suffered before her sophomore season.
