He inherited the Lopez brothers from Mike Montgomery. Johnson inherited Tasmin and the Taranhigh scorer from Brady.

Johnson would not visit recruits.

Lopez twins weren't there until Trent's 3rd year.

No he didn't!!!

Recruiting wasn't a problem for him @Nevada nor Stanford!!!

He has and had lifelong ties to the West Coast and Pacific NW as a player and asst coach!!

Johnson was able to recruit the Lopez Twins from Fresno AND Miles Plumlee(who was released from his commitment after Johnson left for LSU)!!

He played inside-out offense so he needed bigs that could rebound, play defense and be at least serviceable on the block..

As others have said he had a disdain for the AAU fixers and though very qualified to coach LSU didn't fit long-term as he did turning Nevada around & winning 60% of ALL his games at Stanford!!

You dudes constantly rehash untruths !!
