Some CJ quotes from todays Ole Miss article.

It went great," Johnson said of his time with Nutt. "My mom asked a lot of questions and I think he can help me be a better man, a better person and a better citizen and all that good stuff. Coach Nutt and I, outside of football, we're kind of alike.

"He's got a big lake by his house. Guys go out there and fish all the time. He's got woods back behind his house so you can hunt. He's got horses. He's kind of more of an outside-type guy and I love to hunt and fish."


The Rebels were in a good position prior to the visit, and Johnson's interest elevated during the 48 hours on campus.

"I speak pretty highly of them right now," Johnson said.

Johnson said he'd solidify his choice in a couple days but already has a idea of where he'll end up.

But just because he could make his decision, it doesn't mean the public will know the answer. Johnson plans to announce is college choice in the Neshoba Democrat the morning of National Signing Day.

Johnson is "not sure" if he'll visit LSU Jan. 28. He visited the Bulldogs the weekend of Jan. 21

One of Nutt's sales pitches to Johnson compared Ole Miss to the current national champion.

"He told me it's just like Auburn," Johnson said. "He said they were a darkhorse until they got Cam Newton. He said if I came in, I could make a really big difference in the program and I could help them take that extra step. He emphasized how badly they need me there."

Johnson is also being recruited by other in-state prospects committed to Ole Miss. He admits a bond with Mississippi recruits but doesn't think it'll have a strong impact.

"It's cool and makes it special to know everybody," Johnson sad. "It kind of opens you up a little bit more because you're more relaxed around people you know. It plays a part in my decision but not a major part."
