'07 MI CB Ronald Johnson (Southern Cal signee)

well it isn't like Columbus is that far, I mean East Lansing is closer than Ann Arbor if my mental map of Michigan is correct.

His mom wants him close to home, he is not going to a school far away from home.

Go Blue!

Florida is far from home. Columbus is not.

We're at worst 4 hours. I wouldnt say we're far at all.

According to Mapquest (who figures time based on the speed limit):
Muskegon to Columbus = approx. 5 1/2 hrs.
Muskegon to Ann Arbor = approx 2 3/4 hrs.
Muskegon to East Lansing = approx 1 3/4 hrs.

I can't imagine that the extra 2 hours or so would be a deal breaker...

But you also need to consider covering the distance difference between AA and Columbus would take an additional 105 hours traveling at a 4.5/40yd.

Ronald's mother says he enjoyed his visit to MSU and everyone is even right now. He will visit Florida on 1/26.

Does anyone know why Ron wasn't at the All American Game? Was he not invited (which would seem strange due to his high national rankings)? Or did he turn down an invite for some reason?

(Thanks, skimmed through part of the thread and couldn't find anything.)

Injury had something to do with it...sports hernia I believe. I think he may have had surgery after the season ended...

Like was said injury was part of it. Also the MHSAA has a rule where if you are playing a winter sport (basketball, wrestling) that you can't compete in things like the Army AA bowl. Stupid rule I know, but it is what it is.

And the Army AA game has a stupid rule that you visit Notre Dame before you can be selected...

Some Michigan fans are now sweating this one out...

In a way it reminds me of the Fred Davis recruitment...Everyone thought that he was ours and it was jsut a matter of time, and then everyone started to worry about him as he shut off matters of communication with recruiting sites and such and then he chose to go elsewhere right in front of our eyes...

Not saying that is what is going to happen, but I am just starting to get that feeling...

As for where he would go, by the way UF seems to landing players I wouldnt be at all suprised if he would go there...
