So according to Biggins, Johnson won't be visiting after all. Is this true or is Biggins hating on Cal again? He also says UW is clearly in the lead for Shaq.

You all need to relax with this Biggins nonsense. He's just relaying what he is hearing, and sometimes it is right, and other times it's wrong... he's not saying anything because he is anti-Cal.<br /><br />Johnson is all but wrapped up for A&M, and seems to be really clicking with Matt Davis and Trey Williams, nevermind his cousin DeVante Harris. (Harris' dad played @ A&M.)<br /><br />We (Oregon) still have an outside shot... I'll be interested to see how the weekend plays out.

Biggins slushes the toilet and reports what he then hears.

Yeah, I don't really get the Biggins hate around here, I haven't really seen anything of his that is particularly anti-Cal, seems pretty unbiased. When Cal was on a roll a while ago he was all Cal if anything.

<blockquote><div class="name-said">tbass2528;691781 said:</div><hr> He also says UW is clearly in the lead for Shaq.<hr></blockquote><br /><br />He was asked who he thought was leading and he said UW. It's his opinion, not a direct quote from Shaq. He may be wrong, but he's entitled to give an opinion. I'd also point out that his opinion doesn't necessarily mean UW is "clearly in the lead," he's just taking his best guess. <br /><br />Whether we like it or not, UW is in contention here and likely will be until the end. We just gotta hope that Tedford and Ambrose can close the deal here.

Greg Biggins:recruiting::SPORTSBYBROOKS:reporting

to repeat again: Biggins has/had Cal connections with friends/colleagues.<br /> Also understand his job: he wants everyone checking and interested in everything...iits about driving traffic, its "quantity." Its not about "2 sources" or other reporting rules and guidelines...<br /> And considering the changing landscape of these kids, its amazing he is as close to accurate as he is...

and i would add-when he isn't "accurate," there can be a lot of reasons! Not sure that happens all that much anyway-more about what the "truth" is in the end...

Unless you reflexively hate the coach, in which case it's "circumstantial evidence." One man's trash is another man's treasure.

When he posts something negative, he is the anti-Cal and he is chided for sloppy reporting.

Biggins is pretty slow.

These guys must spend their entire day on the smart phone rather than actually talking to recruits or due diligence. <br /><br /><br />BTW, in the Johnson case, Cal may be a victim of its own recruiting success assuming the WR class holds. With Johnson gone, Diggs' recruiting on life support, and Payton a maybe, I hope Lawler sees there are playing opportunities.

I thought that was a pretty reasonable way to put it... *shrug*<br /><br />It's clear he's picking between those two schools if he doesn't visit you.<br /><br />UO visits from Chance Allen and Bralon Addison this weekend could also impact the ultimate decision.

I'd rather get the tidbits and news and make my own decisions on their credibility. I follow Biggins on twitter during this time of year and he was laughing about the accusations being leveled at him on certain boards. <br /><br />hope he's wrong about Shaq.
