[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 547074, member: 1776"] There is alot of revisionist history going on in this thread. GT had 3 schollies available. They had already gotten Sjolund who they really liked. They wanted a PG and a wing with the other 2 schollies. Devoe was the #1 PG on their board. Johnson was #2. Devoe came in first and committed a couple of days before Johnson was scheduled to visit because he knew there was a chance Johnson could commit on his visit. Once he committed GT cancelled Johnson's visit and he committed to Nebraska. GT had Talen Horton Tucker as their #1 target for the wing but he stayed closer to home (and with one of his buddies) and went to Iowa State. After he went there GT signed Moore. When Johnson decommitted from Nebraska and went to the Spring GT wasn't an option for him because GT already had both Jose (who was starting) and Devoe (a Top 50 national recruit). He went somewhere he felt he was more likely to get immediate playing time. Much like Okogie, Johnson was not expected to be a big time player early in his career, but proved the skeptics wrong. I'm also not sure I would say Pitt is more talented than GT, that is probably a stretch. Also, until last week Pitt had zero commits for 2019 and then gained commitments from two 3* players. [/QUOTE]
