Any word on the status of Kevin Johnson?
Any word on the status of Kevin Johnson?
A guy I know and I have both spoke to him. He told both of us the same thing that he is staying at Lamar and is expecting to be eligible to play next year.
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust 'em.

Nation, after speaking to Coach Woodard during the Spring practices he told me that Johnson had a few things he needed to take care of to satisfy the staff but he was pretty confident and hopeful that he'd be a part of the team before the start of the season.

That is very encouraging to hear. I saw him at the Spring Game and he looked to be in very good shape and ready to play.
Did he ever get Midol for his headaches?

You are still nothing but a classless troll.

Aw com'on, I've seen Lamar posters post way worse about KJ.

He's been hospitalized because of his migraine headaches. Dogging a player because of his attitude or off-field behavior is one thing, but not health issues.
Would you really expect any different from that douche bag?

You must understand the backlash. We all make mistakes, just like your post. He is just a human being trying to navigate this life just like me and you brother.
You must admit he is a liability. He came with baggage and the migranes. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Hope it works out but a lot of questions still to be answered.
I have to admit, i dont know him at all. but i like to root for the underdog. And based on commentary on this board and where he came from, etc. he definitely has an uphill battle ahead of him. From the games i saw last year. he appeared to be a play maker though. Poor attitude yes, playmaker yes. Hopefully he can get it together, but if he is a liability then Lamar should part ways. From the sounds of it he will be on a short leash from here on. I agree with u that it will be interesting to see how this plays out
Trust me there are a lot of great players in the playgrounds for whatever reason could not conform to rules. I personally do not see him as an underdog lu gave him a second chance and he chose to berate and belittle the coaching staff. Like I said if he plays the entire schedule I will personally apologize but I do not see it happening!!
Kevin Johnson : Southland conference newcomer of the year, honorable mention wide out and kick returner as a sophomore. Set the single season scoring record with 12 td's. I didn't know this either. He is a playmaker...
A liability??? I respectfully disagree. I think we all want to win more games ... We need him. We need him as physically and emotionally healthy as we can get him.
He is an underdog due to his personal struggles and inability to deal with adversity without making a mess. Character, respecting authority, integrity are taught and learned and not indiscriminately granted to some people and not others. I guarantee that he wants to be a better person. ... There is no doubt in my mind about that. We as Lamar supporters should try to support this kid as well as other athletes who struggle on a personal level.
'Berate and belittle' sounds very harsh. Im not refuting your point QB. I totally Can a player belittle a coach?? I say no. If he belittled teammates then i would be totally on board with you. But getting into it with a coach... It happens. He got suspended... He is paying the price.
