Re: LoJo making a comeback for 2012
Sources?
I saw him talk about it last year in an interview saying he thought he could make the international team. And Some videos he has been posting on youtube look like recent videos of him going pretty high working out with the athletes he coaches. But I have not seen anything officially stating it in the last year.

Re: LoJo making a comeback for 2012
Well given that Nick Mossberg just made the World team with a 5.54m jump, a comeback by LoJo doesn't seem like the worst idea in the world...

LoJo is 37 years old, he'll be 38 next summer. Hopefully he's already working on that USADA paperwork: http://www.usada.org/uploads/testing/re ... policy.pdf

It's official. LoJo has announced his preparation for a hopeful return to the 2012 Olympic Trials and Olympic Games and you can follow his journey online exlcusively at lojovaultassault.com.
LoJo Entertainment will produce webisodes of the trials and experiences of Lawrence "LoJo" Johnson as he attempts to claim a spot on the US Olympic Team in pursuit of the Olympic Gold Medal.
"The Olympian" web based reality series will follow LoJo as an athlete, husband, & father inviting viewers to share in much more than the surface training and preparation for the Olympic Trials.
"Of course there is more to life than training and The Olympian will hopefully allow more opportunity to follow some of the family experience. With the increasing popularity of many reality shows, the Johnson's hope that sharing some of our experiences will prove entertaining and uplifting as we strive to maintain a positive family balance."
The first webisode will go live in late July.
More info to come soon.

According to Tilastopaja, LoJo jumped 4.95m at a meet at UGA last year. They don't have record of him jumping in any meets this year.
