Forget about any top RBs, WRs or QBs.
We don't get any top QB's, RB's, or WR's anyways. If he can win without heavily recruited guys then so be it.

Art Briles runs a tricked up version of the veer/option and he out recruited PB and most of CUSA.

But U of H NEVER has running backs that we lament not recruiting... and they get HORRIBLE QBs and receivers year after year...
If we are truly waiting on Johnson (and all reports seem to indicate that this is the case), I think we will screw ourselves b/c he will be offered GT or Duke and will probably interview with Nebraska as well. GT or Duke will most likely offer him and I just don't think we can match in terms of $ or BCS publicity.
