4-Star JUCO DT To Visit UM This Weekend
-Originally committed to Temple out of high school
-Johnson will visit Miami this weekend. He is a soft Kentucky commit at the moment
-Says if all goes well he might think about turning his pledge to Miami
-"I have a lot of questions once I get down there," Johnson said. "I just have to feel out the vibe, see if I can feel comfortable there, see how the coaches interact with the players. At Kentucky there's that family atmosphere; I want to see that. I'd have to feel comfortable there."
-Early playing time is a big draw for Miami
- He watched several Cane games on TV this year and says "I see a chance to play, definitely."
-Johnson had Miami at the top of his list back in June, but then the Canes stopped recruiting him hard.
-Recently the attention picked up, and it was ratcheted to a new level when coordinator Mark D'Onofrio began personally recruiting him in recent days. "He's saying that they need me, that I can be an immediate impact," Johnson said.
-UM coaches convinced him to visit them instead of Temple
-Will be an EE. Plans to also visit Texas Tech on December 14th
-Asked what kind of shape UM is in with him heading into the visit, Johnson said, "They're in pretty good shape. but I won't know till I go visit."
