"Football is football," Orhian Johnson said. "To me things like distance and weather and stuff aren't really that important. I've said it from the beginning and it's still true - I want the school I choose to be like another family and a home away from home. That's what I'm looking for and when I feel like it's right, I'll pull the trigger. But it'll most likely be on signing day..."

Last week, Ohio State coach Jim Tressel showed up at a Boca Ciega-Dixie Hollins boys basketball game to watch the Pirates' Orhian Johnson. The Buckeyes are recruiting Johnson as a defensive back.

"Tressel even wore his sweater vest," Johnson said. "I don't think he leaves home without it."

Johnson said USF and Indiana also are on his short list of schools. He'll make his decision Wednesday.
