I don't follow. This Johnson : https://247sports.com/Player/Juwan-John ... ool-52053/

Who is now 225 lbs.

Are you thinking Johnny Johnson?
Most people are basing this on potential and catching ability, both of which Ford and Nacua show/have while Johnson is not quite at that same level.
And our poor track record with transfers in general. The odds of Johnson somehow being a better addition than Puka or Ford are really small.

I actually think Johnson would be the most helpful for the 2019 season at least.

Ford would have been if he were guaranteed to be 100% healthy but he probably won't be. I would be happy with Johnson as a consolation prize. Obviously having an All-American WR that we can have for 3-4 years is better than a good WR for one year but if they both stick with USC I'll happily take Johnson since he's the best grad transfer WR available at this point.

Juwan Johnson (Grad Transfer) : https://247sports.com/Player/Juwan-Johnson-31894/

Puka Nacua: https://247sports.com/Player/Puka-Nacua-46039709/

Kyle Ford: https://247sports.com/Player/Kyle-Ford-46037885/

I think I am on the Puka train. He is really fast and runs great routes.

What do people think? There is likely a choice coming....
We can take 1 of the HS guys and the grad transfer. It's not an either or thing.

Johnson and Puka are my picks.

The attrition part for me is interesting how it will play out.

I’m solely basing it on the fact that he is a grad transfer. The other two are as good or possibly better and have way more eligibility. So in a “who would you rather” scenario I don’t think it’s even close between the two 2019 guys and a grad transfer.

Doesn’t look bad, I know it’s a highlight tape so no drops shown in it.

Rumor du jour is Bru McCoy wants to leave USC for Texas. He is enrolled but not sure if he actually signed a LOI rather than a scholarship agreement. His leaving could affect the decision or either Ford or Nacua. Both show committed to SC.
