What's going on with Q. Johnson and A. Pesek-Hickson?
I couldn't help but notice we haven't seen an LOI come in for either Quinten Johnson or Pesek-Hickson. Anyone with insight know what's going on?
The twitter account of Michigan Football (to me) gave a smoke signal that today is a wrap with George Johnson signing his LOI. I really hope Q. Johnson isn't letting Maryland get in his ear.

Thought I read that Johnson's school prefers kids to wait to sign until February. I'm not sure I've ever heard of that rationale since the early signing period got established, though.
Have not heard a thing about Pesek-Hickson at all today.

I think Sam said Pesek-Hickson would sign in Feb but he was the only one supposedly.
December 19th, 2018 at 5:14 PM ^
Quinten Johnson has supposedly already sent in his LOI but announcing officially in February. Peseck-Hickson wants to wait to sign with his friends I believe.

Last time I heard the “I’m waiting to sign with my friends” thing it was Kevin Doyle and he ended up going to Arizona instead of Michigan.

Same high school as Johnson. They have their kids sign in February.
December 19th, 2018 at 4:53 PM ^
They're both "officially" signing at the same time as their teammates in February. No smoke here.
December 19th, 2018 at 4:53 PM ^
Hickson was always planning for February. Johnson will not be "announcing" his signing until February when his school does it. No need to worry.
December 19th, 2018 at 4:54 PM ^
Thanks, I had not heard/read that despite my best at researching.
December 19th, 2018 at 4:55 PM ^
I’m confident they both remain Blue come February.
December 19th, 2018 at 5:07 PM ^
Enjoy that dick lemon.

User name checks out.

worry wart
December 19th, 2018 at 4:55 PM ^
Pesek-Hickson had always planned on a February signing. Quinten Johnson planning a February signing, supposedly to align with his school's signing day.

I'm hopeful that he will still sign with U-M but I would imagine that Maryland will be going after him hard in the interim.

Quentin Johnson already secretly signed his LOI but is waiting to announce until February. Not sure why Pesek-Hickson is waiting.
December 19th, 2018 at 5:11 PM ^
Wasn't there somebody who was planning on this last year and ended up not a part of the class? Was it a QB?
December 19th, 2018 at 5:38 PM ^
Kevin Doyle, who ended up at Arizona.
December 19th, 2018 at 5:39 PM ^
Yep. Kevin Doyle. IMO, not signing your LOI is always suspicious so I think it's possible Pesek-Hickson ends up not in the class.
December 19th, 2018 at 6:51 PM ^
Is it a secret if everyone knows?
December 19th, 2018 at 5:02 PM ^
Is q Johnson signed? According to his Twitter feed he was signing today
December 19th, 2018 at 5:09 PM ^
If you read Lorenz's update on Quinten you wouldn't be worried. He's Blue.
December 19th, 2018 at 5:11 PM ^
Actually waiting until Feb affords these guys a bit of an advantage. They can now assess the landscape post commitments and see how rosters and signings play out. They “commit” to reserve their slot but can still pursue and be pursued by other schools. I wouldn’t be surprised if one, or both, sign elsewhere.
December 19th, 2018 at 5:26 PM ^
All indications are that Johnson has already signed but isn't announcing, and Pesek-Hickson was always expected to wait until February. There is nothing here.
December 19th, 2018 at 5:46 PM ^
WIth Dax Hill signed, I wouldn't be surprised if Quinten Johnson flipped.
Amauri Pesek-Hickson is a beast (6'3/210) that we need to lock down. Hope he signs with us.
December 19th, 2018 at 6:16 PM ^
Could it be that there is technically not enough room in the class past 25 at the moment?
December 19th, 2018 at 6:29 PM ^
Nope. Guys don't count on the roster until they arrive.
December 20th, 2018 at 8:38 AM ^
IMO, anyone who is unsigned after yesterday isn't committed. As long as the player and the school has the desire to, a recommitment can happen on signing day in February.
