Hell of a game for Julian to be at…if he’s actually there. Don’t think I’ve seen anyone actually confirm it

It was confirmed on HSN…that he didn’t make the trip. Apparently something came up at the last minute….

In the “Let’s get Lincoln Riley fired from USC Bowl,” Maryland is driving late down six to USC.

Annnddd…

The Twerps take the lead! 53 seconds for USC to get in fg range. 
 

[Stuhoo 79,794]

Twerpies win in regulation after being down 14 in the 4th!!

JuJu ain’t gonna commit to USC if he doesn’t even know who their head coach is gonna be… amirite?

[Hovadipo 55,193]

Wasn’t really on board with the idea of Lincoln getting canned. I am now getting there. That team stinks out loud.

Lewis is planning to come to the Washington vs IU game as of now.

Seemed like a better fit timing-wise than Nebraska since he doesn’t play next weekend.

After (I would imagine) watching the Nebraska game on tv and (if) he's at the Washington game? Along with USC coach on the hottest of seats? 

To me? I would imagine that this is a "confirm what he thinks he already knows" visit.

One could argue that is the case.  IMO, Lewis knows what Rouke is capable of.  If Lewis sees Jackson play well overall and leads them to a solid win over Washington, how could Lewis not view the visit as a "I know what I want and that is IU".  Not only is the starter (Rouke) prepared and playing lights out but the backup QB is playing well and can win.  Now, IMO if he chooses IU, I think he sits behind Jackson for one year but then ultimately ends up the start as a sophomore.

And since TJ will be quarterbacking, he'll see first hand who he'd be competing against for the starter spot.

he had a family event arise AND he played late Friday night and accounted for I think 5 or 6 TDs.  he may have been a little busy lol

Ultimately, I think TJ will/would win out BUT if Lewis is as advertised Lewis would benefit by sitting behind TJ for one year.

Great sign he’s planning to come Saturday. Seems like often in recruiting the rescheduled visit after a canceled visit doesn’t happen. 

With the season we’ve had, this isn’t just a guy giving lip service to a program because he’s had a longtime relationship with one of the coaches, imo. We’re 7-0, 4-0 in the conference, while the school he’s currently committed to is 3-4 and 16th in the conference. We’re higher in the country than USC is in the Big 10.

Yes AND the fact that Riley could be gone too if they continue their trajectory downwards for the remainder of the year.  Even if Riley isn't let go, the arrow is pointing up for IU and at the current time it is pointing down for USC.

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.

I feel Julian knows the stakes involved with starting and being a backup if he plans on coming to IU next year. It's a risk all QB's are willing to take. Look how Jackson has stuck with IU, even after Kurtis started over him this year. It really says something about confidence these players have in Coach Cignetti, QB Coach Sunseri and this entire coaching staff.

I think Coach Cig just has an exceptionally good eye for talent.  Not just talent for talent's sake but for talent that fits his style.

I hadn’t realized he was the recruiting coordinator at Bama for Saban’s first class. He has the secret sauce in spades. Can’t get enough of the guy. Everyone loves a winner
