According to the Miami Herald, we are signing a WR from Coral Gables

always nice when the local media has absolutely no clue of what is going on with Tiger recruiting...

TigerTodd72 · 02-06-2008 10:40 AM

No record of him on Rivals or Scout.

Here's the story:

Coral Gables wide receiver Curtis Johnson signed with the University of Memphis on Wednesday morning at a ceremony at his coach Joe Montoya's office.

Johnson, the son of former University of Miami assistant coach Curtis Johnson Sr., caught 21 passes for 458 yards and six touchdowns this season to lead Coral Gables to a 9-2 season and a regional playoff appearance.

Johnson said he chose Memphis over Tulane and Louisiana-Lafayette.

''I felt Memphis was the best opportunity for me to have a career that could lead to the NFL,'' Johnson said. ``I took a couple of other visits, but they couldn't compare with the coaches and the way I felt when I went there.''

Johnson has academically qualified and said he will play wide receiver and likely be a punt and kickoff returner for the Tigers.

Memphis went 7-6 last season and finished tied for second in Conference USA's East Division before losing to FAU in the New Orleans Bowl.

Talk about some killer stats....

Son of New Orleans Saints wide receivers coach Curtis Johnson, who was the receivers coach at Miami(1996-2005).

Sounds like a favor or debt being paid.

innman · 02-06-2008 11:11 AM

Potential!!

Memphus01 · 02-06-2008 11:15 AM

sounds like a kid with decent ability --from south florida (where everyone said we HAD to recruit)-- who is a coaches son (good football IQ) ---we can't go head to head with USC, Texas and Notre Dame for every recruit...some of you look for the bad in every situation... anyone know who we beat out for Carlos Singleton? I think the coaching staff has demonstrated it can evaluate recievers---wait until they suit up before calling someone a dud

Don't know his measurables, but if he's smallish in the 5-10/6-0 range, I can see him being converted to DB.

With him being a Miami kid (Jacques is also a Miami native if I'm not mistaken), maybe they're trying to establish a pipeline to Coral Gables.

This something I am completely with you on... really weak of the CA to be getting beat to the punch on tiger recruiting

Tigeroo · 02-06-2008 11:29 AM

Rivals has him up now. Still not on the database there but at least they have a story.

I was speculating on just that/favor(establishing a pipeline) which is why I see your point or maybe we already got something/debt(transfer).

I do remember Mortiger writing something to that effect about a WR converted to DB. I took it for granted that maybe he was referring to McKayhan.

I was also thinking that this kid is our backup plan if Damaris Johnson didn't sign. Everyone needs a plan B.

PS:Yet, he could be plan B for McKayhan.

have we hired a DB coach yet?

Nope, I did see it posted on Maxprep. I imagine they'll wait until after the recruiting is done.
