BOWLING GREEN — A quick look at recent Bowling Green State University men’s basketball transfer Marcus Johnson, and one would assume that he spends most of his time near the basket. Don’t be fooled. There’s a lot more to his game than what the 6-foot-7 forward’s physical appearance might present. “This is my 16th year of college coaching, I’ve never seen a player like him,” Wheeling men’s basketball coach Chris Richardson said of his former player. “ … I think all coaches want to play through the strengths of their players, especially on the offensive end, and we were fortunate with Marcus that those strengths were pretty unique for a player of his size.” Johnson, whose offensive abilities resemble more of a small guard than someone with his physique, will bring his talents from the NCAA Division II school to northwest Ohio. The Akron native, who won a pair of OHSAA state championships with St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, was one of the best shooters and scorers at the Division II level a year ago.
