Women have some strange protection of all of their entitlements.

They are allowed to lower the Infantry standards (3 jobs: shoot, move, communicate) with their inclusion yet you dont see feminists wanting to register for the draft. They are allowed to hit, but cannot be touched. They are equal to men but need countless concessions. It's a have your cake and eat it too world.

This is a fricked up conversation but I would rather we not condemn the kid over raw charges until the story is known.

He got 2 misdemeanor charges and the woman was alright with that so while I wasn't there it doesn't seem to be at the level you're describing. I trust Coach Pearl's judgement here so if he thinks he fits in with the culture then so be it

people clutching pearls over what exactly? He roughed up a woman? Who cares. Bitch probably deserved it. This is 2024, no more protecting theses entitled women making exaggerated and or false claims.

Well that's just silly. I have a daughter. What he did is wrong but people deserve second chances in most cases.

Yeah but I think there is a degree of how wrong something is where some people don't deserve special opportunities like division 1 basketball and all that comes with it. For instance if he was diddling little kids or producing child porn it would be without question. In this case, if he beat up/strangled a girl because she turned off his ps4 when he was about to hit a lick on GTA5 then yeah don't sign the dude. If he hurt a Britney Griner type who was trying to kill him then maybe sign him.

According to Dior she got his phone wet.

If you think a woman deserves to be strangled because she got a man’s phone wet then you are a piece of shite.

Yes

And another interesting thing about Dior:

Johnson bounced around in high school, playing for nine different schools across five states.


I don’t like this guy at all and hope we pass on him.

Well at least the shitty people on here are outing themselves The story is out there if you actual care enough to find it. The guy is a piece of shite and we don't need him. There are plenty of good basketball players capable of playing back up PG for us, we do not need this guy.

I'm not Jesus and I'm not the court. I don't have to forgive or forget anything. Only thing I hope for him is he gets his arse whooped by someone way bigger than himself one day.

I wish the guy the best but would not support bringing him in. I don’t care if he carried us to a national championship. Second chances are earned not deserved. We have all screwed up but beating up a girl and choking her is a different level regardless of what he was charged with.

Honestly I made one attempt at googling and couldn't really find any case details on the first page of results. I figured some kind soul like BeachBum would do the rest for me

He's not in jail. That's his redemption. In no way does he "deserve" to play college basketball.

A verbal argument took place at 8:30 a.m., and it escalated with the woman wanting to leave the apartment but Johnson not letting her, according to the complaint. "The argument continued for an hour before Johnson got violent and repeatedly punched (the woman) in her arms, stomach, and head multiple times," the complaint said. The woman said she called 911, but that Johnson ran after her with scissors, took the phone, hung it up and threw it. In the complaint, police wrote that the woman said Johnson "continued to hit her multiple times in the arms, head and stomach making her throw up twice. Johnson attempted to call off from practice (it should be noted that Johnson is a basketball player on the University of Pittsburgh basketball team) because he did not want to leave her alone for fear that she would leave the apartment and call 911" The woman waited until Johnson left the apartment, then she also left, according to the complaint. A copy of her medical discharge report from the hospital that she provided to police by email showed that she was treated for bruises and a concussion, police said in the complaint. "Photos show bruising on (the woman's) left and right arms, scratches on her neck, bruising on her left collarbone and left shoulder and chest, and broken finger nail," the complaint said.


Not mentioned here, but It started because she accidentally got his phone wet. He also mashed her face into the mattress so that she couldn't breath and stole her cell phone so she couldn't call anyone after flying her from Cali to Pitt.

Some people dont need to play here. That guy is one of them. But you had a high opinion of guilt before you read the facts and that is retarded.

It doesn't appear that any more has come from the zoom meeting so as of now it seems we aren't interested. Like I originally said I trust Coach Pearl's judgement. The Freeman kid from Morehead St is still available. I wouldn't be surprised to see us circle back
