StumbleNoel Johnson, one of the top remaining unsigned prospects in the 2009 men's basketball recruiting class, chose Clemson on Friday following a visit to the South Carolina campus. After de-committing from Southern Cal amidst the program's recent troubles, capped by the resignation of coach Tim Floyd, the 6-foot-7 swingman out of Atlanta had re-opened his recruitment. Johnson visited UNLV two weeks ago, and following his visit had said he planned on visiting some other schools, including LSU and Xavier. The Clemson visit, however, did the trick. UNLV's main connection to Johnson was through his father, Lynbert, who goes back a ways with Rebels assistant Lew Hill. UNLV still has one open scholarship for next season, but at this point it appears likely that it will be applied towards next year's recruiting class instead.

Good luck to you Noel. Maybe when you're unhappy there after a season you can come here. We are good like that.
Hey, atleast the Rebels won the QT sweepstakes...
That's fine. Kruger isn't a big fan of blue chips anyway.
Silver lining: That does leave one scholarship open for next year. Maybe we can get someone with a long/wide body who won't whine if he isn't getting his touches. Okonki (Findlay Prep) for exmaple...or maybe someone not even on the radar just yet. I am not so sure how things would have gone this year with Tre, Jasper, Stanbeck and Noel trying to share one ball. Things might have gotten ugly.
However: That sucks!!! Good luck Noel in the loaded ACC.
