I don't think Jimmy himself would be telling people he is trying to decide between Alcorn St. and State if he didn't have a year of football left. Posted via VolNation Mobile |

Posted via VolNation Mobile | He doesn't have a year of football left, no matter what he's saying or to whom.
When you sign an LOI with a school, you can play four seasons worth of football. If you take a redshirt year, you have five years to play four seasons. If you are granted an exception by the NCAA (likely because of injury) you can potentially have a sixth year to complete your four seasons. It does not matter if you leave school for a few years (whether by choice or compulsion), your eligibility clock is still ticking. Occasionally, the NCAA grants exceptions for things like missions or military service. Serving a prison sentence has never earned an exception, and I doubt Johns will be receiving one.
So, Johns' eligibility clock starting ticking in 2005. He redshirted in 2005, so his eligibility would have expired following the 2009 season. Even if he'd been given an injury redshirt, he still would have only been eligible through the 2010 season.
So he won't be playing anywhere in 2012. Sorry, chief.

| All I can tell you is Jimmy's cousin said Jimmy told him he was either gonna go to Alcorn or State whoever gave him a shot at QB so maybe Jimmy found a loophole. Posted via VolNation Mobile |
