Coach says Johnson took coaching personally
AMES (AP) ? Iowa State coach Greg McDermott believes that Wesley Johnson took some of his coaching personally and couldn?t get past it. That, along with the frustration Johnson felt playing through an injury-plagued season at a new position, is why McDermott thinks Johnson has left the program.
McDermott addressed reporters Wednesday for the first time since Johnson ? a rising star once seen as the ?face of the program? ? announced he would seek a transfer. Surrounded by his players, McDermott strongly disagreed with the notion that his relationship with Johnson had soured.

I'd like the pick up.
Would be a good scorer with length and transfers count towards the APR correct? He looks like a 4 year player, so that's always a plus...

Very interesting. Would not be eligible to play for the Buckeyes until 09. We must be serious if we asked for his release papers. Iowa State coach talks about not releasing him. Have mixed emotions because this certainly would cut down on our number of scholarships for 09-10 but the guy is a player.

I'll take a proven player every day over most high school prospects.
Two years of a known quantity over 4 or less years of an unknown quantity is a slam dunk IMO.

I know but it also might put a damper on another one for 10.
