Dior Johnson has a history of changing schools/programs

Dior Johnson entered the CBB circuit as a five-star recruit. He began garnering attention when he was in seventh grade at Saugerties HS. As a freshman, he played for IMG Academy before shifting to Findlay Prep (Nevada). After it closed, he attended Hillcrest Prep (Arizona).

Johnson then moved to Los Angeles for his sophomore year, attending Fairfax and Mayfair and High School. Soon, Oak Hill Academy and Centennial became his next destination while the guard played for Prolific Prep (Napa) and SoCal in his senior year.

With more than 10 Division I offers, Dior Johnson initially committed to Syracuse in 2020 but opted out in less than a year. He leaned towards Oregon months later but recommitted again, beginning his college journey with Pittsburgh. He redshirted with the school, but some legal investigations led to disassociation with the school.

Johnson then played a year with Clarendon College, averaging a 29.7 points per game and leading at UCF last offseason.
