I can't reveal his choice but here is the link to the announcement. http://mamustangs.org/ (http://mamustangs.org/)
If you don't know who he be, we really want him at RB. Bama wanted him as DB and FSU wants him at RB. Carry on.

MADISON, Alabama -- The big day has arrived for Madison Academy's Kerryon Johnson, who will announce his college football commitment at 2:30 p.m. today.
Alabama and Auburn join Florida State as finalists to land the four-star prospect, who is rated as the nation's No. 2 athlete in the 2015 recruiting class by the 247Sports Composite.
Stay tuned to AL.com to watch Johnson's decision live, check out our predictions below and cast your vote in our poll.
Josh Bean | Prediction: ALABAMA
Johnson has been the best player on the field in last three AHSAA Class 3A state title games, starring as a runner, defensive back, receiver and kick returner. He really can do it all and has the size to be a difference maker on either side of the ball. His blend of size, speed and elusiveness has drawn comparisons to 2011 Mr. Football T.J. Yeldon, and Johnson's game seems to translate best to Alabama's system. So, I'll say he'll choose Bama.
Daniel Boyette | Prediction: FLORIDA STATE
The team Johnson rooted for during his childhood is back atop the college football world. Don't be shocked to see him bolt state lines for Tallahassee.
Matt Scalici | Prediction: AUBURN
The wind appears to be blowing in Auburn's direction for Kerryon Johnson but his decision to move up his announcement date shortly after visiting Florida State gives me pause. Johnson would be an equally strong fit in Tallahassee, where there will be early playing opportunities aplenty, and I think FSU is Auburn's primary threat here. I'm going with Auburn but by the thinnest of margins.
Jeff Sentell | Prediction: FLORIDA STATE
Johnson has felt very comfortable with Florida State for quite some time. He also has family ties to that area. The backfields at Alabama and Auburn are mighty crowded with more elite prospects in the Class of 2015 still on the way. Jameis Winston blazed the trail for elite in-state prospects to look elsewhere, too.
Wesley Sinor | Prediction: ALABAMA
Call it a hunch, but I've had Johnson to Alabama since the get-go. I don't really want to turn back now, although it's clear Auburn and Florida State have made up plenty of ground. I believe he'll end up at Alabama, but will likely be moved to safety.
Mike Herndon | Prediction: FLORIDA STATE
He grew up a Florida State fan, and he moved up his decision after visit to Tallahassee. He wants a legitimate shot at playing running back and Florida State has the thinnest depth chart at the position of his three favorites. The Seminoles have shown a willingness to give an athlete a full shot at his position of choice even when he might have made a bigger impact elsewhere (see: James Wilder, Jr.). Johnson is the type of athlete who could be a fit in pretty much any offense. The question is where he wants to fit. I'm thinking it'll be FSU.
Keith Niebuhr, 247Sports Recruiting Analyst | Prediction: AUBURN
It's a rare case where apparently the prospect has even kept the respective programs guessing. A strong case could be made for each. However, I'm giving Auburn a slight edge. I mean, real slight. The reason? From Day 1, Auburn has recruited him at RB, which is what he sees himself as being. Also, he has maintained for a while the Tigers are recruiting him hardest.

So, does he announce to Bama or does he verbal to someone else and carefully plan his flip date?

Is it a coincidence that a pop up to view Jovon Robinson's highlights appeared during playback? I think not.

Matt Scalici, whom I've been in a long-term twitter battle with over the Alabama media bias in general (he swears it doesn't exist) wrote this Sunday night just after Kerryon's Alabama visit.

5-star running back Kerryon Johnson moves up decision date, will announce next week
He commits to Auburn and this is the headline that MATT FUCKIN' SCALISCI writes.

Madison Academy 4-star running back Kerryon Johnson commits to Auburn
I mean, for a guy that refuses to acknowledge there is any bias, and tries to convince me that any conceived bias is just a random occurrence, usually because two different writers have different ways of wording things...how the FUCK can you justify those two headlines with nothing but three day's time (and the fact that he's now an Auburn commit instead of a Bama recruit) separating them?

The twitter battle has ensued. Feel free to play along at home.
https://twitter.com/AUChizad/status/456271999375925248
Has there been any re-evaluation in the past 3 fuckin' days? I find that hard to believe.
I realize no one's listing him as a 5 star now, including 247 whom he specifically cited in the first article. But I sincerely doubt he was three days ago either when Bama thought they had a chance.

Then Blake has to pile on and ridicule me as a fringe lunatic.

I don't think the writer gets to pen the headline, but I could be wrong.
Regardless, it's still obvious bias.

And on cue, Kevin Scarbinski tells us not to get carried away with this early commitment because there's still 10 months until signing day.

Well yeah, but the question is does this piece even get written had Johnson picked the Tahd?

There could be intelligent life in bottomfeeder's skull.
There could be a thousand angels dancing on the head of VV's shit-stained dick.

I knew it wasn't likely. The only few times I've been mistaken is when I thought I only had to fart. That can get so confusing sometimes. And unpleasant.

What really cracks me up is how Scalici and Barredouche CAN'T stay away from the conversation. They HAVE to make sure they get the last word in.
And that's the mindset of the bammer and why shit like these two articles happen. They absolutely cannot and never will admit to anything that may possibly be negative against Bama. They can't even allow a conversation between three guys on Twitter without making sure it's out there that there's nothing remotely negative in a conversation that may kinda sorta involve Alabama football.

Kerryon is a five star again on 247sports. What is interesting to me is that this he is considered a better athlete and higher ranked than the Evans kid last year, yet Kerryon went about this very business like and made his decision early (assuming there is no flip). Not nearly as much hoopla for a much more important player.
He lets his actions do the talking, much like me. I bring 5 star quality to this board while others spout off nonsense--like Evan's no account diddy did.

I think that is pretty generous. Coaches recently assessed his 40 time in typing and it was atrocious.
