he was prepared to make a commitment to Kentucky during his visit, but apparently was told Kentucky’s already full at his position.
“They were only taking three defensive backs and I didn’t know that,” Johnson said. “Two of the defensive backs committed before I got the offer. Then, Tobias (Gilliam) committed two weeks after I got my offer from Kentucky.”
Johnson’s now looking at other offers, namely Cincinnati, but has no timeline for his decision.
This development tells me two things: 1) Stoops finally feels comfortable with the depth he has in the class at cornerback, an area that’s plagued the team the past few years; and 2) he also feels confident in Davonte Robinson’s commitment.
