The Big Blue Nation just went global.
Jasper Johnson, Kentucky’s fast-rising basketball phenom, has officially been named to the USA Basketball U19 National Team, earning a coveted spot on the roster that will compete in the upcoming FIBA U19 Basketball World Cup. The announcement solidifies Johnson’s status as one of the most electrifying young talents in the nation—and now, on the world stage.
At just 18 years old, Johnson’s explosive scoring, elite court vision, and relentless energy caught the eyes of Team USA coaches during training camp. But it wasn’t just his skills—it was his swagger, his focus, and his grit that made him stand out.
