If you have all the pieces he’s shown and you want to get better, you can be really special

I think this guy will give our usual suspects in the league fits with lock down defense and attitude.  Wisconsin and Purdue especially should be on high alert.  He's coming for you!!!!

Nice article, but that picture of his hand and arm action while shooting is just painful. Hopefully the staff can at least get the ball off his palm.

Could just be me, but if I’m an administrator or coach, X on social media makes me very nervous.

Hey if no one in PR is going to stand up for him and allow fans to speculate on him being in trouble, I’m all for X standing up for himself. Has he done anything else to make you nervous? I haven’t really followed.

I think he handled it perfectly.

Count me as an absolute XJohnson fan.

Count me as a fan as well.  Also count me as nervous to be paying too much attention to social media to the point he feels he needs to engage.  This isn’t the first time.  All is well until it isn’t.  Social media becomes a trash pit.  Best to completely ignore it. Once you engage, the agitators know your paying attention.

Yeah, I agree. All is good until we go on a 3 game losing streak and he isn’t playing well and gets some criticism on social media… I hope he is mature enough to ignore it
