The reason I feel Johnson is a good add for GCU is because I think he gives GCU an edge (identity of toughness) that very few GCU players have exhibited in the past. For the most part, Majerle has recruited a lot of highly skilled, high IQ, soft, players. Players who play a pretty NBA style of basketball but don't know how to rough it up (and deal with adversity). I don't see Johnson as being soft. To me, he has an essences of former Aggie Wendall McKines (or Tyrone Watson). Which is what the GCU choirboys badly needs.

Hmm, Keonta Vernon was the meanest, nastiest player in the WAC last year.

What? Really?

I meant no disrespect in my post. I thought he was the most intimidating player last year. He was a tough dude and was a banger down low.

Ah, man. None received. I just never thought Vernon as mean or nasty, so the characterization caught me off guard.
