I don't think I have heard anything about him since his brother signed with USC. I know he was an MSU verbal at one time, is he still coming or did he sign somewhere else?

sorry if this has already been talked about....

He was under the impression riding his brother`s coat-tails would also work in the classroom.

Basically his grades weren't good enough.

Also when his brother went to USC the coaches at Muskegen felt betrayed because he didn't go to mich or MSU and prevented them from more midwest exposer. because of this they didn't work with COJO on his recruitment and when coaches would his coach he wouldn't hear about it or at least that was his take on it in a article I recently read. If he gets his grades up he could land somewhere.

Very, very doubtful IMO. MSU is pretty set at WR.

"I think I have to get my GPA up. I have to get all A's and I am working hard at it, so I should be able to do it," said Johnson. "I took [the test], but I didn't study for it and I didn't do real good on it. I just wanted to see how I would do on the first time.

not the best attitude to get the grades up, and it appears (since this story was in November) that he hasnt either.

The kid takes ownership of the situation (has to get the grades up) and is working hard at it, what in your opinion would make his attitude better towards getting his grades up.

If you are talking about the test quote, I'm assuming he was talking about the SAT or ACT, so what if he didn't want to study the first time he took it. What does that have to do with his grades?

SpartanGA · 02-08-2008, 03:26 PM

yes, I was referring to the test quote. It was odd to me to just take a test without studying for it....maybe hoping he could get by without studying first vs. trying to nail it the first time around. Mindset IMHO I guess.

I would bet a majority of kids don't study for the ACT

b'ukdow?

But if you've never taken anything like the ACT or SAT, have testing problems, it can be very hard. We don't know his sitiuation, so it could be hard to comment on that kind of thing.
