Somebody has been talking

PINELLAS PARK --

Could USF head coach Willie Taggart be reeling in another Bay-area player to USF?

Jesuit tight end Travis Johnson decommited from Miami Tuesday, the three-star athlete said over twitter.

"Decommitting from The University of Miami," Johnson said per his twitter account @IamFeedMe. "Opening up my recruiting up."

Johnson committed to the Canes back on July 25, and has since said his commitment was solid. As of Dec. 10, Johnson texted BHSN's Kat Smith saying he was offered by Memphis and said he was solid on his verbal commitment to Miami.

Phone calls to Johnson by BHSN have not yet been returned.

It's no secret Bulls coach Taggart has been courting the Bay-area superstar. He met with Johnson eight days ago.

"Met with coach Taggart HC from USF today," Johnson said over twitter Dec. 10. "Pretty chill dude."

The 6-foot-3, 231-pounder has offers from almost every major program in the country, but is said to be favoring the Bulls, Canes and Missouri. He hinted towards his decommitment earlier Tuesday.

"I'm about to make a bunch of (people) upset and then again a bunch happy with what I'm about to say lol," he tweeted.

The mother of two-way Jesuit standout Travis Johnson told the Times on Tuesday she believes Missouri is her son's top choice following his de-commitment to the University of Miami.

A lifelong 'Canes fan, Johnson, projected as a tight end in college, reopened his recruitment Tuesday via Twitter by saying: "Decommitting from the University of Miami. Opening up my recruiting up (sic)."

Angela Hardy-Jones said her son's change of heart was mutual. Miami is facing looming NCAA sanctions in the wake of a rogue booster's claims he provided illegal benefits to dozens of 'Canes athletes and recruits for nearly a decade.

Additionally, Hardy-Jones said her recent attempts to reach two UM coaches instrumental in Johnson's recruiting have been futile.

"It was mutual," she said. "He saw the writing on the wall. He knew (potential NCAA punishment) was coming. Honestly, (the coaches) didn't even return my email. That's not good."

Hardy-Jones said she's expecting her son to make an official visit to Missouri after the NCAA's "dead period" for recruiting ends on Jan 3. He's slated to unofficially visit USF's campus Wednesday following a math final exam.

Deemed the nation's No. 3 tight end/H-back prospect by ESPN, Johnson's numbers dipped his senior year, when Jesuit was forced to resort to a run-oriented approach. He finished with 21 catches for 287 yards and two TDs.

So an unofficial visit during the dead period? I guess he is just doing the standard campus tour and not meeting with any coaches or anyone in athletics? Is he able to get a tour of the athletics facilities?
