James Johnson update
Article on scout
http://oregon.scout.com/a.z?s=128&p=2&c=833684
If you need a summary. It's unclear to his choice. I will post what sticks out to me:
"I know what I’m going to do, but I can’t tell you what I’m going to do," Johnson said with a chuckle. "I’ve got to make it a surprise. I want the world to be like ‘oh damn, how’d he end up there’."
Not sure I like where this statement is going but.....
"They tell me to take my time and they want me to go there so they don’t want me to rush things," Johnson said. "I’m taking it day by day, just enjoying the process. I’m just trying not to get stressed out because if you get stressed out that’s something you don’t to be because you can’t have fun, but I'm making a plus and minus list -- social-wise, the best chance to play first and academics and so on and so on."
I do like this one more as that statement sounds more like something CK/MB would say. Lots less like Colorado or UW would say.
Final four: Us, UW, Cal, Col.

Re: James Johnson update
Yeah, I wouldn't count on him. Since he has been Oregon all along, choosing the ducks wouldn't be a surprise.

Re: James Johnson update
Now that you say that, wouldn't it be a surprise if he did commit here?

Re: James Johnson update
The second statement leads me to believe it would be us or Cal. IMO.
He did also mention academics furthering the Cal guess. WOuld also solidify response #1 too.
I don't know.

Re: James Johnson update
It would be a surprise if he committed to UO since the report was out a few weeks ago that he verbaled to the Fuskies

Re: James Johnson update
Yeah I agree this is a tough one to decrypt! My guess would not be us...man this is the one guy I really wanted!
We will see soon enough...did it mention a time frame?

Re: James Johnson update
Sounds like he's going to San Diego State. Big mistake.
Do you need a transfusion of GREEN O Positive?

No way, where did you see that? That would be the biggest surprise of all even though he is from the area.

Re: James Johnson update
I guess since I put his final four that he listed of UO, UW, Cal, and Col.
I find it a "total surprise" if he does pick SDSU.

Re: James Johnson update
I do hope Johnson surprises everyone after these recent comments and commits to Oregon, especially since we could use some wide receivers. He is actually the one player(other than Tate Forcier) that I have seen play here in San Diego. He looked pretty legit to me.

Re: James Johnson update
Well with Krout leaving, that just means one more spot for a WR to fill. It would be great to get JJ
