Anyone got any scoup on James Johnson. It doesn't sound like he pulled the trigger yesterday like some thought. Do we still have a shot? Mops any input here? How about you Jhop?

Honestly dude, with Leon/Crim/Phillip and all the other action from today I have no idea which way is up.
In all seriousness, it appears as though he is now UW's to lose, and unless we put the full court press on we may lose out on this athlete.

Some good sources say he had a very conditional offer from us. That could explain why he's waiting until signing day to announce as he needs to wait and see if Oregon wants him based on who else we get. Now this could backfire on us as it has in the past, but frankly James has never given me tingles.

early in the process he didn't give me tingles either. That being said the way this week has gone I am starting to get to the point where he would give me tingles.........lol. I am pretty nervous about our WR'S this recruiting season. I know that come LOI day we could end up with one of the best recruiting seasons for WR'S that we have ever had but we need things to start falling into place. Just my opinion.

Here is the thing guys. Why is it that when a recruit signs with Oregon he will be great, yet when a guy like Johnson might not come to Oregon it's no big loss? Right now, we could use all the receiver help we can get. This guy was the player of the year in San Diego.

Bro............... did you not read what I wrote. I do think it's a big deal. We need to hammer down some of these kids. It's tough we have to make ourselves feel better when we don't land a kid but I don't think we are silly enough to think that James Johnson couldn't help us!
