Top recruit chooses Cincinnati over Charlotte

Kareem Johnson, the 6-foot-8, 260-pound center who was the Charlotte 49ers' last major recruiting target, signed Monday with Cincinnati, the 49ers' arch-rival.

Until about a week ago, Johnson had narrowed his choices to Charlotte, Oklahoma State and Auburn. But when 6-11 center Donald Little was kicked off the Bearcats' team, a scholarship became available.

Cincinnati turned to Johnson, who averaged 13 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks for Chipola Junior College in Marianna, Fla., last season.

Johnson, who visited Charlotte last month, visited Cincinnati over the weekend and then signed, giving the Bearcats a projected top ten recruiting class.

we need to get some more whiners fans here before hoops season. I live to heckle those guys.

I heckled them on the old board today.

Was feeling nostalgic.

Damn Cincy stole him right from under us. Next year will look to be a long year, we have no big people inside

We might be as bad as Chapel Hill next year, wossa

I wouldn't wish that on anybody.

except maybe my dookie friends. They could stand a helping of humble pie.

We had ours back in 95. Don't tell me its already time for another helping.

 

[wossa]

Yes sly it is time once more.

You boys went and got uppity on us again.

So that's what we get for Donald Little trying to burn his room mate? We get burned...WTF!

 

[Iron9er]

Yes, only a bearcat can come up with the notion to use incense as a weapon and find a way to have it bite the 49ers in the ass.
