Pringle is what are fans want CJ to be. Look at how he hits the hole, cuts, sees the field, etc.
Yea he remind me of Freeman that FSU had
I don’t want to bash the kid. I’m happy that he came here and overall happy that no matter what he will get a free education somewhere and depending on the location he will be productive at his new school.
That being said, I always felt like we overrated him. I felt he was overrated on 247. I remember when his film was circulating going into his senior year, I wasn’t impressed. I just didn’t see it but we had the mods saying that “whoever did his film, did a disservice to him” but it benefited UM. I didn’t agree. Now that he’s hitting the portal, some are blaming the staff. The staff isn’t absolved from everything, we still have slow linebackers that get exposed in coverage and any run to the outside, we still have DBs who lack awareness in coverage skills, and we still overly depend on the portal with talented 4 & 5 stars riding the bench. However, CJ isn’t on the staff. Most of our young backs or transfers produce when given the opportunity. Lyle, Fletcher and Ajay made plays. Unfortunately, CJ didn’t work out here.

Fletcher, Lyle and Martinez will have play in NFL. it's not like we dont have guys. Ajay would see field more if he learned how to block.
I agree

Not sure if he ever contributes here but the difference between him and CJJ as far as feel for the position (pause) was instantly noticeable in the spring game
Kid definitely has a knack for playing RB even though he is tiny
Just because someone is fast and from Florida doesn’t mean he is a good running back or football player. I do think Johnson would be a terrific corner. If he goes to the right system maybe he can develop. We were loaded at running back.
I’m starting to get concerned with these evals. I feel like we hit more when Alonzo was GM.

Brashard was the same way. Just not as fast
They tried this year.
Phillip Dorsett is my comp! Fast AF, but lateral quickness or acceleration is nonexistent. Dorsett been in the league for almost 10 seasons!
Lol

I think of him as a faster, lighter, less productive Lorenzo Lingard. Crazy speed. But if you can’t find the hole, don’t have the hips, can’t run great route as, don’t have soft hands, and go down on first contact, it really doesn’t matter how fast you are.
Comparing Johnson to Brashard or Dorsett … come on now.

I sure hope they don’t waste him as a FB dive/lead blocker 80% of the time
thats the thing the two SMU canes that did really go at SMU are JHH and Brashard and both made plays when here.

Another portal target possibly with the addition of Pringle. Maybe not this off season but next off season
