2011 DT Mickey Johnson

bhelmLSU · 02-22-2010, 12:33 PM

One of the top DTs in the state from St. Paul's High School was offered at Junior Day and could be close to committing.

6'0
297
5.1

Hols offers from Miss St., Tulsa, Tulane, Tenn, Ole Miss, and Kansas St. He plans on camping at LSU this summer as well. Looks a little faster than 5.13 and closer to 6'1 based on his Junior film.

I would love to load up on OL and DL this year.

6-0 seems little short to hang 300 pounds on, but he does look aggressive.

I thought I read somewhere today that he said he benched that during his last meet.

Definitely the next workout warrior of the team if he commits.

I saw a video of him benching 500 with 2 boards, but someone mentioned that he was over 450..

Not much to add or much to worry about, but I have two local high school kids working with me in the kitchen on weekends. One is a senior at St Paul's and another is a senior at Fontainebleu High School who's a tight end on the football team.

Both know Mickey Johnson and I'm going to try to find out some insight on what he's thinking. This stuff should fall under the "rumors" or "gee whiz" category and definitely not under the "Gospel Truth" category...But it should be interesting at least.

I asked both of them about Mickey and the classmate from St. Paul's said that Mickey used to play trombone in the band with him freshman year and was a little surprised LSU would be after him. I told the kid that it really must be hard to imagine that someone from the band could power lift nearly 500 lbs. Johnson must have stood out in the band.

The other kid who knows Mickey from football said that Mickey told one of his team mates that he was interested in Florida right now. This kid was swearing that Johnson would be a gator. Maybe Urban Meyer had another one of those revelations from God about that.

.

I'll try to keep up on the word on the street concerning Johnson, but I wouldn't put a lot of faith in it.

(Now watch how fast posters on Tigerdroppings are gonna proclaim Johnson to be a Florida lock or lean)

Speaking of St. Paul's band...I sure wish they would change those ugly silly ass uniforms. They are awful! What makes it worse is when they attempt to dance while playing. I always get a good laugh at St. Paul's when they march in Mardi Gras parades. They think they have a good band...NOT!

Good stuff Steve...

I have been getting the feeling he was going to play it out some to see who comes in with offers and maybe get some trips in before committing. LSU can handle that no problem this year with 4-5 top DTs in the state of LA. Last on the boat will be left out. If I was a DT and I knew I would end up at LSU in the end I would go ahead and get it over with knowing that I am relatively easy to replace.

This actually shows you what these offers mean to many of the recruits and their friends. They are like trading card fads for high schoolers. Some embellish, etc... Friends think they have the inside scoop and raid the boards with info that is not very solid and so forth.

I wil be interested to see what else you hear.

stevescookin · 03-01-2010, 04:31 PM

It's just pretty slow here on the TF recruiting thread. I read the board at TD pretty often and there are a lot of good posters there. StreetDiction, 985, and a few others that post here. They also have a lot of knowledgeable people over there as well that don't pass by here posting.

I wasn't trying to disparage any of their posters there with my comment about seeing how fast some of them would proclaim Johnson a Fla. lock...it's just that some of them over there seem to read stuff on other sites and then race to be the first to post the info as their original thought.

Those posters are just trying to keep up with the latest and are really good LSU fans, but since I went to grad school, I cringe when people don't credit the original source. In college, that's plagiarism and is dishonest. I have to keep in mind that it's not that dishonest because it's just discussion about football...not research. There's a lot of good insight over there...a lot of rival posters too. The tone does get "Ranty" a lot though.

Bandit88 · 03-01-2010, 05:24 PM

At first, I couldn't stand TD. Now, if I have time and am in the right frame of mind, I can sort through the chaff to find the wheat. But it's not like here or TSD or TB, where flamers are few, idiots even fewer, and the boards are fairly closely moderated.

Still worth a peek if you got your shrimpin' boots on...

stevescookin · 03-02-2010, 02:07 AM

Look what someone named Pastyskankster from TD found on facebook. Mickey Johnson's recruiting blog. This is going to be good. The kid seems to write well and tells his story well. It looks like it might be part of a class assignment. Good work by skankster.

Mickey will be on campus for the scrimmage today.

LSUFan1950 · 03-09-2010, 09:35 AM

I live in the Greater New Orleans area, and a local Sports Show (news) said that he was very high on LSU. I wish I would have listen more closely, it did not start out about him being a football player. It started out about him as a person and how he was doing in school. I did not put the name together at first Mickey Johnson and football.

bhelmLSU · 03-14-2010, 04:03 PM

Won state in weightlifting.

610lbs Squat
500 Dead Lift
450 Bench

No news here, but I talked to a couple of Saint Paul's students who were friends with Mickey Johnson. They said he's getting lots of attention, enjoying it and is nowhere near making a decision to go anywhere. They said that they saw his facebook page last night and it indicated that he's enjoying the flattery.

He obviously has a scholarship offer from LSU no matter what or how long it takes.

Like I said...no real scoop, but I thought I'd pass their comments on. It's pretty slow these days.

Been some good signs for LSU as of late. Watched a video from this weekend's Nike Combine and Scout mods are saying LSU is the team to beat. On the video they asked him if he had an idea of where he would end up and he smiled and said yeah but I am not saying anything. Mickey wants to enjoy the process but I do not see him playing it out all the way to NSD if he wants to be a Tiger. He understands that offers are contingent and if he waits too long someone could come along and take his spot.

He also seemed to really enjoy the fact that he and Freak Johnson could solidify the interior line for years to come at LSU.

I hope that's what lures him in.

Frank Wilson and other staff members were at his school on Monday checking in with his coaches, etc... We are after him hard, Monday was the start of the evaluation period.

XXL TideFan · 04-21-2010, 04:00 PM

Quite a few rumblings that he wants to play for Bama.

I hear there are some rumors going around. Mike S on rivals is saying he is leaning to leave the state but better sources on Scout and other boards are saying LSU is looking good right now. I have to lean toward the Scout sources given the history but a lot can happen between now and when he decides.

Indeed. A lot can happen by Feb. He is reportedly a big USC fan.

bhelmLSU · 04-22-2010, 02:25 PM

Based on his most recent Scot article today it looks like there are a lot of people coming to conclusions that shouldn't. Mickey keeps it close to the vest and doesn't really talk to anybody about where he is leaning, etc... but it looks good for LSU.

bhelmLSU · 07-08-2010, 03:48 PM

Top 5 are LSU, Nebraska, UCLA, Tenn, and Michigan.

Still keeping it close to the vest while having a little fun with the process. I think it could come down to his current home team vs his old home UCLA.
