'20 MO WR Jordan Johnson (Notre Dame Signee)

[Rogue219]

He just wants to play mane

I assume that's why he made the choice he made.

 

[RDU Irish]

SEC powerhouse Mizzou loses twice.

Sauce Gardner gonna show him that the grass isn't always greener #GoBearcats

A nice bounce-back game after he gets torched by Keys on October 2nd

UCF? I guess he didn't pick ND for the usual reasons (academics, prestige, degree, beautiful campus) because they have none of that. Full disclosure, my daughter went there, its not anything like ND. His "traits" won't be an issue there.

 

[Rockin’Irish]

Based on the most recent UCF depth chart I could find, it appears Jordan hasn’t (yet) cracked the starting lineup…….he’s listed as second string.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Opened up ESPN to check the UCF box score.
JJ not listed.
Looks like Kelly is still unjustly benching him.... /s

but they do have two other guys named Johnson who caught passes.

 

[Trait Expectations]

I feel bad for Jordan and I hope he gets a chance to break through this season but this shows it wasn't just a Kelly/ND issue with Jordan. It could be that he's taking a while to acclimate to the scheme or the school or something else entirely.

Hope the best for him

 

[Crazy Balki]

Based on what I read, it seemed pretty clear that it was an effort issue with JJ.

He's got talent, but he doesn't have enough talent to not work your ass off. It's that desire to be great, he's missing it.

Until he shows that willingness to be great, he won't ever reach his ceiling.

I think most are still waiting for him to reach his floor...

 

[GoldenToTheGrave]

It's almost like sometimes, the coaches know better than the keyboard jockeys.....

 

[zelezo vlk]

No they don't!

 

[IHateMarkMay]

Guys, obviously Kelly talked to Malzahn and told him to bench Johnson so Kelly doesn't look bad.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Did this kid just fool everyone? Such a interesting situation.

Was just coming here to post that

Did Coach D ever fess up and eat his crow on all the bitching he did about getting Jordan on the field, or did he just move on to griping about Styles and Colzie?

Maybe it was somewhere else I heard it, but I could have sworn he said after the release of Kelly that they should reach out to Jordan and see if he would transfer back into the school to bolster the receiver numbers.

Doubled down, baby!

 

[stlnd01]

But wait who IS he talking about? Polian?

(Or, wait is it that high school coach from St. Louis who's there now?)

[stlnd01]

Has he... graduated already?

Appears to have zero career receptions. Damn.

 

[GowerND11]

Appears to have zero career receptions. Damn.

Still BK's fault...

 

[NorthDakota]

Man that would be tough. Being a rockstar in high school. Apparently one of the very best receivers in the country. Fast forward ---------> zero catches

 

[IRISHDODGER]

I haven’t done a good job keeping up w/ the transfer rules. So can kids now transfer multiple times w/o having to sit a year? I thought they got one free pass but that the 2nd transfer they have to sit?

1 Regular Free Transfer
1 Grad Transfer

Everything else requires a sit out year.

With how many credits kids can bring to many colleges and pick up online, etc. - very very very doable to play for 3 schools in 4 years.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

I hope he finds a team and earns a role. No animosity for a kid who couldn't make it happen at ND.

 

[slick7410]

So about that 2020 WR recruiting class ;

Xavier Watts, Jan Brunelle, Jordan Johnson - have combined for 4 catches (Zero in FBS) in 3 years (all by Brunelle at Yale)

Coming off a zero WR class in 2019, 1 max if you count Cam Hart
