Not smart, IMO. But, oh well. IF that's the case it would be asinine for USF not to pursue Johnson unless there is something other then supposedly, "being stacked at guard," that we don't know about. There aren't many highly touted shooters available for a school like USF to have a chance at getting. When this first came out I went to the Miami board to see what they were saying. It seems that he didn't show up for summer school as promised and the BB coach was really pissed off. Perhaps, Heath doesn't want to deal with that. As usual, I'm assuming the people paid to make these decisions have a ton more info at their disposal than anybody else and will make the decisions they think best for the program ...

Larranaga and Heath are friends, it's entirely plausible that Larranaga was straight up with Heath in explaining what prompted Johnson's departure from the U. I think you may be right, Mama, in Heath not wanting to deal with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never enrolled in school but no where is there a hint of anything else. I think Johnson had some 2nd thoughts about going to Miami which eventually led to him gaining his release. That's the common thing nowadays with kids just changing there minds. People questioned Johnson's decision to commit to Miami in the first place.

Good for him because the Rams have a great HC and play an exciting brand of ball. Good for USF because Johnson doesn't end up at Marquette or some other Big East School.

If he needed grades and didn't go to Summer School, might be academically ineligble. Would make sense for why USF isn't pursuing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
