'12 CA SF Xavier Johnson (Signed to Colorado)
- Thread starter Goose
- Start date
From a concert and fueled by whiskey and beer. Yesssss!
I really think X is going to come in with a chip on his shoulder too. It's obvious he's a big Pac-10/12 guy and really wanted to play in the conference. He's going to do everything he can to prove everyone that they made a mistake by not going after him.
Best part was seeing some UCLA fans talking about how they think they may have made a huge mistake and this may come back to bite them.

ESPN weighs in:
[h=1]Buffs add another ESPNU 100[/h]October, 3, 2011
ESPN.com confirmed on Monday that ESPNU 100 small forward Xavier Johnson has ended his recruitment and will sign with Colorado.
Johnson, No. 24 at his position and No. 86 overall, visited the Buffaloes last weekend (Sept. 24). He was also being recruited by Arizona State, UCLA, USC and Harvard, among others.
ESPN.com Recruiting Coordinator Joel Francisco talks about Johnson's commitment.
"Xavier wanted to play in the Pac-12 and got his wish," he said. "He's a versatile prospect with an array of skills. He can step out and nail three's or go inside and utilize his length and underrated passing ability.
"He's a tenacious competitor with a great work ethic," Francisco added. "All these attributes should translate to a successful career for the Buffs."
Johnson is the fourth recruit for head coach Tad Boyle, joining fellow ESPNU 100 prospect Josh Scott, along with power forward Wesley Gordon and shooting guard Chris Jenkins, who committed on Sunday.

Xavier is "friends" with Wallace, hopefully he can do some convincing!!
GO BUFFS!!
GO BUFFS!!
BTW, one other aspect of this commitment that hasn't been discussed much is that we are now in with Mater Dei HS. Along with X, this school also has 2012 recruit SG Katin Reinhardt (who is roughly a top 50 prospect that's committed to UNLV), 2013 SG Elijah Brown (4* SG and #60 recruit on Rivals) and 2014 forward Stanley Johnson.
That's a pretty ridonkulous HS b-ball team.

A huge assist and S/O to Mike Rohn who is a beast in recruiting going back to his and Boyle's KU roots. This guy really gets it and perfect for recruiting..this momentum you can expect to only build in coming years..these guys are targeting tweeners strictly high level top 100 or preferably top 50 athletes.

I'm hoping that since fucla lost Artis, they won't target the X-man. Kinda has me worried, tho.
done and done.
