Let me start out by saying that most fans and Big Ten reporters aren’t giving Purdue much of a shot to land Brandon Johns, and I agree with their assessment. He is a great player and could be a huge get for Matt Painter, but most signs point toward him staying in his home state. He is from East Lansing, he attend team camp at UM earlier this month, and everyone north of Michigan City (IN) seems to be tweetng him to either become a Spartan or a Wolverine.
The rumor mill on Twitter and the Michigan message boards kicked into high gear this week with story about Johns committing to John Beilein while in Ann Arbor this weekend.
