Some of the "experts" now predicting Johnson to USF.

Would be nice.

Isn't Johnson built more like Shaw and Lamar? I thought CWT wanted to recruit more power backs like Davis and Tice

Johnson is coming on OV to USF Jan 17. The guys at 247 are flipping hard in his direction. They now have us over UL and UTx. I guess we should stop chasing those kids that have big name offers.

I assume the main goal is to recruit talented guys. He seems to be one - Rivals ranks him as the 18th best RB in the country (for what that's worth). You can always find space for a guy who can make people miss.

What?? Johnson is 5'11 190lbs as a HS senior. Kid is just going to get bigger in college.

Shaw: 5'9 178lbs

Lamar: 5'9 180lbs

Are we talking about the same guy? Scout has him at 5'9", 160#...but maybe he hit a growth spurt since? ESPN has him at 5'11", 182. Would be nice to know the truth. Either way, the film show he's runs strong...more than we saw with Lamar, and close to Shaw.

I was also going by scout's numbers....unless its inaccurate, he would be about the same size as shaw and Lamar. I have no problem with CWT recruiting him if he is a dynamic playmaker, but I thought he was trying to install a power run offense here.
