Asking price: $100,000
Patrick Johnson is an OMG shirtless cornerback recruit out of Miami. He's supposed to be the second coming of Deion Sanders, and we mean it this time**. As far as eBay listings go, Johnson's is bare bones. He's billed as an "Elite 08 CB Prospect Pledge to Highest Bidder!".
I'm a little nervous about offering a bid as the seller lists his condition as "used". I suspect he's got some scar tissue in a knee that needs to get cleaned up and my program just might not have the patience to wait that out as we'd want him on the field right away.
On the upside, Johnson's write-up says he was the winner of the 2008 USA Today Defensive Player of the Year Award. He's also got this working for him: "he can run fast, jump high, and shut down half the field". You know, that's a hell of a sell job. On second thought I think we gotta put in a bid. Now if you'll excuse me for a moment I must retrieve my credit card.
*Not for sale
** Ahem, Dominic Robinson
*** For the unaware, Johnson recently "decommitted" from longtime favorite Miami. The Hurricane fans are not taking this well.

The "U" doesn't need him, we only want unselfish players who want to play for Miami, there is no other school in Div. 1 that is more like a family, and if Mr Johnson doesn't want to be a part of that family, so be it. If he wants to go pro, look at the success of the "U", it speaks for it self.

Mr. Johnson had to decommit, starting salary at Miami was much less than the SEC schools were offering.
