Did I read somewhere that he visited Nebraska for only two hours on an unofficial? If we are behind, the official could change all that if he is wowed by the Huskers. While we did lose one big prospect to Wisconsin this year, Frost track record against the Badgers in recruiting has been good. But the way he was talking, we may eventually have more competition before it’s all said and done. So if an Alabama, a Clemson and an Ohio State come calling, it will become more difficult to get him. The latter is what I'm thinking is delaying a decision. There's plenty of time for one of those schools to evaluate him and offer if they miss on one of their prospects over the course of the season. Quote Link to comment

It also gives us time to show on the field improvement and get him and his family out here for an OV. Really hope we can snag this kid Quote Link to comment
Throw Dem Bones Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Can anyone say (if you’re allowed) which game he’s visiting for? Sorry, not a subscriber Quote Link to comment

Pedro G Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Yes, it’s the OSU game, according to Greg Smith. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 Already OVed to Wisconsin. Looking to take visits to Michigan State, Oregon State and Vanderbilt but hasn't set those for sure yet. Has visited Minnesota unofficially several times. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 Nebraska OV is the only one he has set up right now. Also looking at taking one to Oregon State. Those two contact him the most, then Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan State. Not in a hurry to commit. Wants to make sure he considers all options. Talks with Frost the most. 4 Quote Link to comment
everybody knows my name Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Ego-free, ready to go: SMB's Kaden Johnson is unlikely top football recruit Everything about him screamed linebacker. It’s for that position that college recruiters have relentlessly chased after him. He carries the only four-star grade among the current crop of seniors. Of the 14 Division I offers, 13 are from Power Five schools. “It’s crazy to think I’m the No. 1 player in Minnesota,” Johnson says incredulously, without a shred of ego. “Of all the players out there, I’m No. 1. And think I’m, like, No. 9 in the nation at the outside linebacker position. That’s crazy.” The outlier offer not from a premier league? Yale, an indication that he’s more than just a good athlete. “Last year I had a 3.7,” Johnson recalled when asked about his grades. “Which is pretty good. They don’t play games here with academics. You’re going to need that education at the end of the day.” There is a wealth of Division I talent on the roster at SMB, which also includes athletes from St. Paul Academy and Blake. Besides Johnson, there’s Suggs and Lockett, Johnson’s best pals. Sophomore defensive back Trevon Howard. Three hundred-pound defensive lineman Kevyan Anderson. Running backs Sanjay Redd and Dewayne Givens, both flashy underclassmen. That doesn’t include defensive back Craig McDonald, who has committed to Iowa State but was declared ineligible for his senior season by the Minnesota State High School League because he repeated eighth grade and used up his eligibility before this year. All that football skill has generated tons of interest and recruiting speculation. The SMB sidelines are busy places during games, a traffic jam of reporters and bloggers. “It’s crazy,” Goodwin said. “You ever hear of a high school team having to issue sideline passes?” Johnson knows a great deal of the attention is directed toward him. He’s patient with the constant inquiries about his collegiate future and feels no pressure to make a choice. “It doesn’t bother me,” he said. “At the end of the day, I’ll go to the place that’s best for me.” The Gophers and Wisconsin have long been considered front-runners. Johnson said both are in the mix but he wants to explore his options. There are still campus visits to take and football worlds he wants to see. “Nebraska. Oregon State. I’ve been talking to Vanderbilt a little bit,” he said. “Tennessee. I like Tennessee football. Iowa State, which is cool. Michigan State. There are a lot of schools still in contact with me.” http://www.startribune.com/ego-free-and-ready-to-go-smb-s-kaden-johnson-is-unlikely-top-football-recruit/560195902/ 1 Quote Link to comment
Ziebol Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Of course he’s visiting Wisconsin today as they are just woodshedding Michigan. Quote Link to comment
