A Good Flying Bird*

The buzz I heard around the Ice Cube after Johnson was drafted was that he wasn't too interested in playing for the Canes.
I asked him about it and, not surprisingly, he denied it.
He did tell me weeks before the draft that he wanted to play 4 years at Michigan and win 4 national titles. I said, "Well, don't you think the NHL will come calling with a big contract?"
He said he wanted four titles in four years.
Now, all it would take is one knee on knee hit in the NCAA for Johnson to say, "hey, i better get this money while I can."
So who knows.
About JJ. he's a confident kid (why wouldn't he be). He's also very loyal to his team. But he also deosn't like to be disrepected (he was very upset about not being on the WJC's pre-draft year).
I'd be suprised if he stayed at Michigan for four full years. But I wouldn't be shocked.
He's a determined young man.
