RE: RE: Alex Johnson update

Sorry, gave the wrong context there. I meant out of the blue as in (as I've read in reports) him basically telling the staff that he is signing with UC and everything was a go, then turning around and shocking the staff and signed with Georgia.

And when Jim Harrick Sr or Jr are involved it's usually safe to assume there is "funny business" involved.
