The 6-foot-4 Johnson chose Boston College over finalists Michigan, Syracuse, Iowa and Missouri, saying that when he left his visit to the east coast, he knew his search was over. “When I went up there, it just felt like family,” Johnson said. “They treated me and my family right. When we got back, as we talked about it in the car, I was like, ‘Man, I really like B.C. This might be the place.’” Shwanda echoed her son’s love for the school’s family-like feel, saying, “They were genuine and authentic, and it felt natural, and it felt not forced.”[/I] ...

Defensive lineman Jordon Riley and pass catcher J.T. Cauthen have reportedly left the program. After graduating early and enrolling at UNC in the spring of 2017, Riley appeared in five games as a true freshman, recording six tackles and a quarterback hurry. UNC is one man thinner as it prepares to lose Jeremiah Clarke and Jalen Dalton after the upcoming season. When [URL='https://twitter.com/Thejordonriley/status/990741255830343680']Riley announced via Twitter[/URL] in late April, it put to bed rampant speculation as to whether the former 3-star might return in the summer. Riley was forced to sit out spring workouts as he faced academic concerns. And while the Tar Heels weren’t necessarily expecting to rely on Riley in 2018, his departure is a bigger loss for the 2019 and 2020 seasons. UNC should be fine up front defensively this coming season, so long as they can avoid the injury bug that decimated them a year ago. With Clarke and Dalton returning, along with fellow veterans Aaron Crawford and Jason Strowbridge, the Tar Heels have quality, experienced depth at defensive tackle. Riley may have been the fourth or fifth man in that rotation. But it would have been another chance for him to develop experience and leadership – an opportunity now lost.

Mark Sposato, 46, of Brewerton, caught his 27-inch walleye at about 4 a.m. while fishing near the south shore of the lake in a boat with his girlfriend, Sue Cooney. He caught it on a blue and silver sinking Rapala lure. "It came in like a big fish would. Most of the time it stayed on the bottom. It took about 5 minutes to get him in and I netted him," Sposato said. Sposato said he's been fishing Oneida Lake all of his life and this fish was his biggest walleye in the lake to date. His previous best was 25 inches. He said he hasn't decided yet what to do with his winner's check. This year's derby drew nearly 1,500 entrants, according to Bruce Hall, the tournament director. The event put on by the Chittenango Lions Club. ...[/I] [/QUOTE]
