Tallies 22 from bench Johnson had a team-high 22 points (9-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-6 FT) to go along with three rebounds and three steals in 22 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 89-81 loss to Tennessee.

Impact Johnson has been a hit-or-miss fantasy option since his Jan. 13 debut, as he has performances with 21 and 22 points, as well as games with five and three points. He provides a spark off the bench this season, but should see his role with the program expand in years to come.

Impact Johnson only recently gained eligibility to play, and while his return was overshadowed by the stellar effort from Auburn's Sharife Cooper in this contest, the four-star prospect still put forth a line rotisserie players dream about.

Eligible to play Johnson (academics) is now eligible to play, Anthony Dasher of UGASports.com reports.

Impact Johnson has not been able to play yet this season due to some academic issues, but it sounds like the freshman has gotten that sorted out. Expect the four-star recruit to start mixing into the backcourt rotation. Johnson should provide the Bulldogs with another ball handler down the road.

Dealing with academic issue Johnson did not play in Sunday's season opener against Florida A&M due to "academic certification issues," Chip Towers of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Johnson is the only widely-ranked recruit in the Georgia freshman class, and he also owns a consensus four-star rating. While he's a point guard by trade, the Bulldogs have Sahvir Wheeler on hand to man the position, so it's possible that when eligible, Johnson could see time at multiple spots in the backcourt. Coach Tom Crean remains optimistic that Johnson will eventually be available this season, and did clarify that this situation "is not an amateurism issue." With that in mind, it's likely prudent to consider Johnson questionable at best for Friday's contest against Jacksonville.
