And there it is - Julian Lewis has been moved from 'Top Targets' to 'Interested' on Indiana's 247 page. https://247sports.com/college/indiana/season/2025-football/targets/

Given the connections that the Howard family has in the state...Christ, what are we doing here...

Big House Blues 14 CCC and Crew 38

The staff has mentioned in the past that they will look for a QB in the portal regardless of what happens in the HS ranks. It will be telling if CCC and crew bring in a veteran looking to start vs. more of a back-up profile.

Any idea on the HS QB's to watch beyond the Kentucky commit?

Dont sleep on Oregon traveling to Camp Randall in a few weeks as well...Wisconsin could make it interesting.

100% - but I am not sure he would put his neck out to contradict a national recruiting service story w/o tight sources

@Barrel Rick you have family overseas my man?

CCC and Crew - 42 Sparty - 20

I respect Cross's infatuation with being on all ACC rosters during his career. Commendable really.

I'm sure it isn't publicly available, but it makes you inquire to CCC's '25 NIL for the full squad. The Lewis decision at $2.5MM is very different if that pot is $50MM vs. $10MM.

Yes, outside of OSU there isn't much left on PSU's schedule beyond middling B1G schools (UW, Minney, Maryland). Ideally PSU accumulates at least one, if not two or three loses.

Washington 17 Indiana 38

Matt Weaver was on the Hysterics pod and mentioned that Julian will likely visit Coach Prime & Colorado this weekend. It's worth monitoring as Lewis is an early enrollee and will make his decision in the coming weeks.

Per Williams's X post, see below, it sounds that returning in '25 was not an option with the current staff. Inferring a bit here, but I imagine Williams went to the staff voiced his concern over playing time/targets and wanted to see what his options were. These situations are always tough, I get it from both the staff and player perspective. I wish Williams the best in his future endeavors.

The Nebraska match-up was his fourth game of the season (Charlotte, Maryland, and N'Western composing the other three) - so I get the decision. The move provides the young man with one final year of eligibility, and I am curious where he lands as his career stats are fairly pedestrian to this point. .

One aspect of CCC's success at JMU that has always stood out to me is that he wins with all QB-types - he's had more traditional pocket passes, dual-threat guys, etc. and been successful. If I am JL, I see the success from both KR and TJ and this shows that I can make an impact as well.

Matt Weaver posted the below image of Baldwin from tonight, great to see leading up to his visit for the Nebraska game.

Thanks for pulling this together @Lebowski, I admire CCC's targeted approach to '25 recruitment as we are less than 50 days away from early signing. The program has 20 verbals, so no need to cast a wide net - clear focus on the last 2-4 HS spots. It feels 'good' to have a professional running the program.

It's been documented that the staff has a great relationship with Burrus and his camp, the Louisville decision in the summer was a surprise to many.

Expected to play

Good to see you again Mr. Burrus,

Not to derail the thread, but Tino has been working on Atlanta OT Dennis Uzochukwu with Bob as well...potential flip to keep an eye on if CCC and staff push. https://247sports.com/Player/dennis-uzochukwu-46150977/

Tuttle committed to the portal and CTA played him the next week...what a weird time.
