UNT chasing top Dallas area defensive tackle Cedric Johnson

[Harry]

North Texas is still actively recruiting one of the Dallas area’s top defensive tackles who will be choosing his college destination in a matter of days.

Cedric Johnson, a three-star prospect from Rowlett, is still in process of sorting through his options as the days dwindle until national signing day.

Johnson committed to Tech earlier this week.

Pure speculation looking back but it seems some of our best ranked recruiting classes in past decades always had some surprise last minute commits. I hope we have several such commits on the first Wednesday in February (which by the way is now Wednesday week).

Noticed one of our Southwest recruiting competitors is going to have a live webcast on signing day-will we?

GMG!

Brett . . . when you say "Tech" in Texas, most people assume you mean Texas Tech.

Johnson (6-2, 280) had offers from Baylor, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, among others. Nice get for #LATech DL coach Stan Eggen

La Tech? Oh, now I REALLY think we have a chance to steal him.

Harry,DMN shows us chasing 4 other DL's as well; Olie,Washington,Jenkins, and Williams. Any idea as to how we stand?

No idea -- we thought we were down to just one spot which of course was reserved for X but now it appears they have more room than first thought. Olie is a good player but he seems to have fallen off the radar of a lot of teams as of late... don't know why. Remember those lists go off of dated offers, ie these guys may have been given an offer contingent at the time and since then the offer was rescinded etc... The main ones I see right now are X, the Johnson flip and Chumley. It does appear that they want to land some more d-lineman and if they could get Johnson to flip from Tech it would be a nice win. I haven't given up on X either.

He is going to LaTech. In the spring he said SMU was too close to home. He wants to go away from home. It doesn't matter that NT is a better place. It is too close to Rowlett.

Speculation on your part or fact?

[UNT86]

Not speculation.

Damn you!

Guess he will test Mac and Patrick's sales skills.

Like I said. Not speculation. He pretty much ignored us in the spring. A couple of Big 12 schools pulled their offers after a poor senior year. I would be surprised if he ever makes an impact (more "not speculation"). This is not a big loss for us.
