The recruitment of five-star QB Julian Lewis, who is committed to USC, has become an obsession for recruiting analysts and some fans.
Josh Newberg of On3 is making a bold prediction with Lewis, claiming USC “might” be the No. 3 choice now for Lewis after he visited Colorado. Not even No. 2? We’ll see.

InsideUSC with Scott Wolf 
As I watched the video Scott supplied [with reference to the amount of attention required by & for players to sign with a particular school], I realized how out of whack college football is getting.

Part of the problem with SC is that it is in the heart of a major city, Los Angeles, whereas many of the other U.S. schools are in quaint college towns where the football team is the primary attraction

As the SC (South Carolina) president poignantly pointed out, “This NIL situation is not sustainable,” but he had no answers for how NIL might be regulated

Proposal:
USC Alumni hire actor to pose as President of NCAA……he gathers players and administration into auditorium…. & tells players they have no individual names or images independent of their university— & tells university it has no name or image independent of its players….

And of course the ‘Portal’ system is apparently here to stay but that is largely influenced by NIL considerations

Funny how most fans accepted coaches raking in millions for doing jobs while mostly adding little incremental value for decades……but have a player get only a small portion of the value he brings to the school and everything is out of control.

At Nebraska the public announcer starts with “Let’s say a prayer for these football players who sacrifice a great deal for our entertainment,” Football is entertainment and it can be argued that it “adds little incremenal value”

If Juju Lewis goes to Colorado he is not as bright as advertised. There is no stability in that program. Colorado can’t recruit or retain offensive lineman. Quarterbacks need offensive lineman.

Jayden Maiava may be a real gem. He has size, speed, and arm strength with I believe 3 years of eligibility. If he works out Lewis is not loss. Lewis expects to start as a freshman and that does not happen. We then develop Ryder Lyons, our tight ends brother, from the 2026 class to take over for Maiava.
