In basketball news, Noel Johnson of Fayetteville, GA was scheduled to visit Clemson today. He is expected to make a decision on Friday. Johnson has been recruited by Clemson since his tenth grade year, but this will be his first up-close visit to Tiger Town. This season Johnson averaged 28 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists per game.
Update: Reports are circulating that Johnson has narrowed his choices to Clemson and LSU. His father said that he will have a decision around 6:30pm. His visit went well and he met with several of the players and the academic support team.
