I could be completely wrong....but my hunch is that PSU moved on from Johnson a while back.commited to UM.

I don't think PSU ever had any real interest in Upshur.....whatever the reasons may be.
I was born and raised in the Philadelphia/Camden area, very different than other areas. Quite often Camden kids try to get far away, actually Nebraska did very well for number of years in that area. Philadelphia has only recently become an area for Div 1 talent. Much of that is due to the demise of the Public School System being replaced by Charter schools that can recruit and develop players. In short, no more neighborhood schools. PSU has never had much luck in recruiting those areas. BUT, as Franklin establishes himself I think that will change drastically. Note, neither Johnson nor Upshur considered Rutgers. As an aside Chambers recruitment of BB players from Philadelphia will make a difference as well.
Yes, I am aware of the huge presence of PSU alum in the area, hence the 80-20 games at Temple
I hope we can get Hamlin.
And what is the price of tea in China?4 area prospects visited Michigan over the weekend - Johnson, Philadelphia Imhotep Charter TE Naseir Upshur, Egg Harbor (NJ) WR Ahmir Mitchell, Camden (NJ) Class Of 2017 OL Cesar Ruiz = and Johnson committed during his trip with Jabril Peppers while Upshur came close. Mitchell remains a battle between Michigan and Ohio State.
And this is important to Penn
State fans....why?
Johnson and Upshur are Penn State targets.
Upshur has been in contact with PSU.....so therefore he is a target.Upshur hasn't been a PSU target for months. There may not be a more overrated prospect in America. We would have taken a commitment from Johnson but weren't really recruiting him all that hard. Staff has bigger fish on the line.

Didn't Upshur announce and then cancel 5 or 6 visits for a variety of reasons?Upshur was never seriously considering us, ever. This is no surprise.
