“We just want to recruit quality people,” Johnson said. “As a staff, we want to get the best players, best people in our program. There’s going to be pressure. That’s part of the job, that’s part of the profession. That is what it is. We are just trying to do our job every day, piece by piece, getting the right guys that fit our system and what we want to do.”

It made me want to pursue this and try to work side by side with him to try and build something special here. There’s a sense of pride everywhere you go, but there is something a little bit special to do it where you’re from and where you played at.”
