What's going on with Q. Johnson and A. Pesek-Hickson?

I couldn't help but notice we haven't seen an LOI come in for either Quinten Johnson or Pesek-Hickson.  Anyone with insight know what's going on?  

The twitter account of Michigan Football (to me) gave a smoke signal that today is a wrap with George Johnson signing his LOI.  I really hope Q. Johnson isn't letting Maryland get in his ear.

Thought I read that Johnson's school prefers kids to wait to sign until February. I'm not sure I've ever heard of that rationale since the early signing period got established, though.

Have not heard a thing about Pesek-Hickson at all today.

Actually waiting until Feb affords these guys a bit of an advantage.  They can now assess the landscape post commitments and see how rosters and signings play out.  They “commit” to reserve their slot but can still pursue and be pursued by other schools.  I wouldn’t be surprised if one, or both, sign elsewhere.

IMO, anyone who is unsigned after yesterday isn't committed. As long as the player and the school has the desire to, a recommitment can happen on signing day in February.
