My question for Johnson
Dec 22, 2012, 6:19 PM
|
|
where else was he going go?
I think he finally realized that...wasn't like he was a 4 or 5 star prospect.

Not sure how much you follow the recruiting world, but 4 or 5 star ratings are usually given to athletes who have the most exposure and have self reported stats. Many of them don't turn out to live up to the hype. There are many athletes with a NR(not ranked) next to their names that turn out to be the better players. This young man had more than one offer and would have gotten more. He decided to end his recruiting early because he has no interest in the spotlight not the same for some of our 4 or 5 star commits who make one decision a mind boggling task. What makes him an even more intriguing recruit is that he qualified academically at age 16.

thats fine.
But thats why Alabama,Texas, OSU, So Cal (etc) always get those 4 and 5 star prospects. And sure, some don't pan out,but....... Most do.
Johnson basicly knew he better jump on board somewhere.
have a GREAT DAY! #21

"Most do". That's not correct.

Some do, but not nearly "most".
But when you sign a majority of 4 and 5 star guys, and some pan out, then you're bound to have more good players overall. It's a matter of percentages.

Bet you haven't. I'm from Oburg and we've had a few good ones come out of here. This guy is a baller. Ga, Fla, or ND would love to have him on their roster next year. I can promise you that. So basically, people need to disregard your uniformed post about 'star' ratings and Mr. Johnson. BTW, I wonder what your informed opinion was of Myrtle beach kid last year that will happen to be starting QB in national title game.

Those are the facts!!!! Why don't you ask our good neighbor down I-26 how many 3 stars compared to 4 and 5 stars he used to kick our butts the last four years. I believe you will change your thinking. It's the will to fight and win, not the will to look more important than the next guy that gets the job done.

At a minimum UNC, NC State, Auburn, Alabama, FSU, UGA, GT, and South Carolina, all had interest.
