Keyshawn Johnson recruiting for us on twitter

[esplanade91]

Tweeted at Mixon to stay committed to MSU despite Collins going to Florida.

What am I missing? Why does Key care?

He signed with us out of HS. He and Moulds.

Completely clueless as to why he tweeted at Mixon. He wasn't even tagged in the initial tweet.

 

[mount lefroy]

17 why. Glad he did

Johnson signed with State out of juco in the early years of Jackie, until the ncaa got involved. That's how I remember it.

He signed with us out of HS. Didn't qualify, went JUCO, and then went to Southern Cal. Would have been in the same class with Eric Moulds if he'd qualified out of HS.

Him and Moulds got to be buddies at an All Star game. I think his grades sucked and Sherrill was like "look, we're you're best bet to not have to go to JUCO".

Just imagine- we could've had two All-Pro wide receivers in the field at the same time. With Derrick Taite to throw the ball to them...

Maybe Keyshawn wouldn't have banged Taite's girlfriend before the Peach Bowl and we would have won that game.

He was seen looking at some homes out at Old Waverly.

 

[JacksonDevilDog]

Don't you mean Moulds?

 

[SanfordRJones]

No, because supposedly he did, and we lost because Taite refused to throw to him.

Los Angeles Times January 16, 1999. Bill Plaschke

"Keyshawn Johnson is better than any other receiver in town even if he doesn't know the plays.
He signs with the University of Miami prepared to become the next Michael Irvin. "

Later in the article...

"A breakout sophomore season. Not quite.
Johnson manages to get signed by Mississippi State even though he has not completed two years of junior college schoolwork, which gets Mississippi State into a heap of trouble and Johnson a quick trip back home."

 

[dawgstudent]

I'm with you. I don't understand why he initially tweeted but I am glad he did.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

sounds like an OM scenario...
