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.

Georgia State committed #1707 composite. Is he JuJu’s buddy?

IU is still trying to get him back on campus and a couple games are being discussed. 

Got to assume the 11/9 Michigan game would be the sweet spot. Guaranteed sellout. Will have great energy. Brand name opponent. Has the potential to be a very cool event.

Carrollton does not play the weekend of the Washington game.

They've been discussing Nebraska and Washington

This video briefly speaks about IU's continued push to stay on Julian. Towards the end, it does mention something about a possible visit for the Nebraska game. It's actually a little difficult to hear part of what he was saying, but that's what I gathered. Take it for what it's worth.

Sounds like a Saturday visit may be in the works

That sounds like a great time to flip his commitment IMO. Lol

Will JuJu stay with USC if and when their head coach gets fired after this season? Lincoln Riley is on the very-hot seat. 1-3 in conference, 3-3 overall. 8-5, 5-4 last year.

USC at Maryland this weekend. Maryland has a real shot at winning that one -- cross country travel and such. Go Terps!

if we both win saturday and Lewis flips to IU, Btown might tear down a goal post if both of these happen before fans leave the stands Saturday

Think Riley gets fired or leaves on his own to coach elsewhere?

Unless he turns this season around? Fired.

Between the PAC-12 last year and the B1G this year, he has won two of his last nine conference games.

They're likely going to lose to ND, so unless he wins three of the remaining five conference games they won't be bowl eligible. At Maryland is kind of a big game for them this week. While Maryland has been a mess, they are talented and USC has to fly cross country to play them.

I never thought I’d utter those two words!  Go Twerps.  I feel so dirty!

USC is a private school that doesn’t have to publish contracts, so what I read  is probably a guesstimate, but Riley’s buyout is allegedly 88 million.  
I’m guessing there is a near-zero chance he will quit and leave 88 million on the table unless he has a job lined up and agrees to take “only” 40-50 million from USC.

Yet another example of a university (USC, A&M, IU etc) getting glittery eyed and agreeing to an absurd buyout.

Fair, just before this season I would have assumed he'd be on the shortlist for Jerry Jones to call in the offseason. Can coach an offense and a year removed from a Heisman winner and #1 NFL draft pick just can't see him having to resort to TV and someone would call if he indeed got canned.

The Tyrone Burrus visit sounds promising as well. Skipping UL-Miami for IU seems…..good.

Absolutely.  There’d be no reason to go to another school’s game if that school didn’t have a real chance.

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.
