Too many people talking about this for there not to be something to it.
More JuJu Smoke
- Thread starter Kelly_32
- Start date
I see no negatives in signing this kid
Ju Ju is a very polished QB now and could step in to the starting position next year so it will be up to the other QBs to improve and beat him out if he comes to IU.
Even If he doesn't beat out our other qbs it's great pub for the program

As long as he doesn't Bogart the NIL.
Competition, more competition, more intense competition is best way to improve the program. Cignetti will prove it for sure and for certain.
I see that Carrollton plays on ESPN 2 tomorrow night.
What if we lose Cherry, Mendoza, and TJ? Is he worth that? Just speculating.
We don’t need guys that run away from competition.
Have you ever seen a program lose 3 scholarship QB’s because of an incoming freshman? To think a true freshman Lewis would be named the starting QB without a competition is a major reach.
Sure we do. Every school does. It's called the transfer portal. Players leave all the time for playing time.
Coaches recruit the best players possible and if someone hits the portal, they aren't the competitors IU needs.
I probably should have used and/or. And I didn't mean they'd leave after his commitment. But your point is well taken. Like I said, just speculating.
The 5th year seniors and grad student types are what we need. You get great depth and experience. Coaching changes aren’t an indication of them running away from competition either. Maybe they are worth more at another situation etc.
Edit: I understand that’s not exactly what you are saying.

Problem with QB position is that backups only play in games that are out of reach or when starter is injured.
Hard to fault someone that sees the situation and wants to go somewhere else that gives them a better chance at playing. Chances drop to near 0 for making the NFL if on the bench.
If we get lewis, then I bet we lose 1 or 2 qbs that we were expecting to return. So lewis or not, ccc will likely need to bring in a qb from the portal.

I also think we might lose one or two QBs if Lewis comes to IU. But you certainly cannot turn him down because you are concerned about losing anyone. We may lose TJ or Cherry even if Lewis does not come when one of them wins the job next year. You just have to keep recruiting the best you can and let the transfer portal do its thing.
The only other negative I see to getting Lewis it will take most of the NIL resources to get him here. Which would leave less for other positions. Think of it like a salary cap. There is only so much, should it be spent on one big fish or spread around.
NIL won't be a problem on either front--getting him to come and dealing with other players. We are a lot better off than people think.....

schools can pay players directly starting next year. Plus, having Lewis probably gets us in the door with other recruits.
That's why they were saying in one of the videos that JuJu is worth more to us than to USC who doesn't really need the publicity of a big time commit because they'll just get another one.

Watchn Juju now on bspn 2 and so far not too impressed with his arm! Underthrew a wr and almost picked, and got picked on the next throw! Threw a quick hitch and the wr rac’d for a td though! Been handing off every other play.
Sorry but this reminds me of the Gunner Kiel episode of 2011.
3 TD passes later…………😂
If Lewis doesn't come to IU, we will be fine with the QBs we have and the coaching they get from coach Tino.

The "for now" could mean they don't know shit other than he hasn't changed yet
UGA just keeps stacking talent. Their 2024 class includes one of the top QB’s in the country and they have a 2025 commitment from another top QB.
Back on the map? When have we ever been on the map?
Now that I69 runs through Bloomington. IU is on the Rand McNally interstate atlas.

Yes watching an IU starter go for 307 and 4 TDs, not to mention an obscene 3rd down percentage, should peak anyone’s interest.
