Michigan has been recruiting Ron Johnson, a CB/WR, out of Muskegon, MI for a few years now and most diehard fans felt he was a lock to be a Wolverine. Well, Michigan fandom is reeling from this email that has been sent far and wide. Seems he may be changing his mind, or someone is changing it for him. He will announce on Sunday. Maybe you guys don't care but, this is a interesting read:
Well, FWIW this is the e-mail that's been going around all day,
Back in 2005 when Ronald Johnson blew out his ACl all the big time programs stopped sending mail and didn't offer...Except Michigan
Michigan (carr) invited Ronald to a game in 2005 when no on else would talk to him.
Ronald gave us a verbal that day....but soon after returning home is mother made him take it back.
During the next few months Ronald told Mallett and Terrance Taylor he was going to Michigan. (that exlains why Mallett came out on rivals.com and spilled the beans...So he wasn't lying its just that Ronald didn't want everyone to know yet)
Ronalds Mom wanted him to keep everything hush hush.
During RoJos recruitment his High school coaches were whispered to be keeping mail and phone calls not Michigan related from RoJo....His family heard these rumors and the relationship was damaged severely between RoJo and his high school coaching staff.
During his official visit on December RoJo gave a second verbal to English in the UM weight room in front of many defensive players... but told everyone to keep it from public knowledge.
Terrance Taylor made sure to tell RoJo on his official visit to take all of his visits.
Ronald had no intrest in taking more visits because he was set on his school he would go to. What seems to have pushed it over the edge was the florida visit. Ronald was...and I quote "Blown away" from the visit...
Yesterday at Muskegon high school rojo was visibly upset...and told his muskegon coaches that he had to talk to them...(FYI if you havent picked up by now his high school coaches are pro michigan)...
His mother showed up and wouldn't let the coaches speak directly with RoJo during which time she told them that Michigan was out of contention with Ronald....A small verbal war soon happened between the Johnsons and the coaching staff.
Later on yesterday Johnsons mother went to a Muskegon judge (family friend) and had him call the Michigan coaching staff that Ronald was done with Michigan and they had no chance in getting him....
The Johnsons also had cut off all contact with Michigan and cancelled all visits with the coaching staff.....They refuse to talk to anyone with Michigans staff and remain that Ronald is done with them.
It's clear that the rumor of the muskegon high school coaches holding back info from ronald info(which was rumored) had an impact in Mrs Johnson feeling betrayed.
> PS. Ronalds mom called Michigan a few days ago and led them to believe her son was still very intrested.....so either she was telling the truth and Michigan was still in the lead at that point are she was lying to them to set them up for this great fall.
English and Carr are now in Cali and even though they cannot speak with the Warrens they feel the presence could help in getting him...
