Hat tip to Snow for alerting me to this Recruit Scoop article. Apparently he's "down to 13" finalists, so it sounds like this one might take a while. He only has one visit set up (Oregon) and "hopes" to visit San Diego State. Money quote:

"I love what the coaches plans are with future shooting guards, especially with Oregon, UTEP, Texas A&M, San Diego State and Colorado," he told Rivals.com. "They all have plans and that's important to me."

His ESPN writeup is pretty complimentary too. Physical SG who is a "gifted scorer who loves to play at a relentless pace". Talks about how his energy level is contagious but he needs to improve his shot selection and get his teammates involved. He has a solid 3 point shot, but "could become mroe consistent".

that is quite the offer list.

He was excellent in LV.

I sent it first.

Do we need to start pruning threads when you do your incessant "I did it first" sniping to a special place in the island that I title something insulting towards you?

Besides, I did it first.

In this case, I did it first... :smile2:

 

[Goose]

Rep for all of you then.

Johnson's an AAU teammate of Allen, so I have to think SDSU was feeling pretty good about Johnson if they could get Allen to commit. Now that Allen has the UCLA offer, I wonder if Johnson will have the same level of interest in SDSU.

Let's just say nothing has changed here. Johnson likes the attention and his "people" have done a good job of keeping everything quiet, he enjoys the recruiting process so this will not end anytime soon.
