With all due respect, Jonah Jackson probably made the right move to get away from usAny Jonah Jackson parallels? At least he isn’t leaving for an in-conference rival.
Gotta be honest, that will be tough for me to watch.Bill Walton will be drooling over Myles. Must watch tv when UCLA is on espn next year
Rutgers does. All a smokescreen. He wanted out and ultimately left gracefully. Stanford was a easy excuse. I’ll take it back if he winds up there but I can’t see it.I always thought Rutgers had a strong Engineering program. Where exactly does it stand?
Exactly.IMO if he goes to UCLA this wasnt about Academics. If he goes to Stanford or Berkeley I get it.
No.Any Jonah Jackson parallels? At least he isn’t leaving for an in-conference rival.
As far as computer engineering graduate programs go - Rutgers Engineering is good - but not elite. Generally ranked in the 30-50 range nationally. UCLA is a stronger program, sometimes ranked in the top 15. In any case, I recommend that folks attend a different graduate school for engineering (than where they accomplished their undergraduate). It's good to be exposed to different thinking and it helps build ones network.I always thought Rutgers had a strong Engineering program. Where exactly does it stand?
Could be a simple as he wants to be closer to home, or he wanted to get a degree from a school closer to Silicon Valley, or he wanted a graduate degree from a school other than where he got his bachelors’s, perhaps he felt he wasn’t developing like he wanted to, or perhaps he wanted to be part of a National Championship contender (UCLA would certainly be that). I’m not biting on any potential chemistry issue because that would be speculative but it Could be any number of things.If not for academics, why did he leave?

Regardless, he did it with class, unlike another recent player who wound up in the PAC 12.

Surprised UCLA is so highly ranked.
I’m glad you said that about attending a different grad school. That’s what I always thought but it seemed some people on this board thought that was no longer the case. I was even told that about an mba, which is one of the reasons I didn’t do mine at Rutgers.As far as computer engineering graduate programs go - Rutgers Engineering is good - but not elite.

He clearly wants to go home to finish up his academics and eventually live and work in CA/Silicon Valley. While there's still a chance he lands at Stanford, he developed into such a strong player UCLA makes sense. Not sure if he would stay at any grad school east of the Sierra Mountains at this point. I still beleive his best chance at developing his offensive game would be at RU, UCLA is loaded with scorers and he will be a 2nd or 3rd option on the blocks alone there.Could be a simple as he wants to be closer to home, or he wanted to get a degree from a school closer to Silicon Valley, or he wanted a graduate degree from a school other than where he got his bachelors’s, perhaps he felt he wasn’t developing like he wanted to, or perhaps he wanted to be part of a National Championship contender (UCLA would certainly be that).

If he agreed to a non-medical redshirt then he probably agreed with the coaches that he wasn't ready to play, wouldn't see much playing time and would be wasting a season of eligibility.Here is a question that came to me, but with no answer being had
Johnson redshirted his first year here....... had we had him play, warts and all , would he
Have been a better player yet this past year?
There are pluses to having him redshirt and figure out college ball slowly and getting stronger
But, in the end, would the extra year of big 10 play made a difference in either direction
Watch his knees while free throw shooting next year. I bet he’ll be bending them and shooting more with his legs....and FT percentage goes up.It might be interesting if his free throw percentage improves.
