WR Joseph Lewis [USC - Signed LOI]

[Huskinator]

Lewis was must get before now he's an must get must get after Jamie Calvin. Yikes.

I would love to get Lewis, but there seem to be many more WR prospects that are pretty darn good we could also pull in. I am more worried about DL and the CB situation.

There aren't many (any) 5 star top 3 WR's in nation that we are in the running for. We need to have athletes like Lewis to compete at the national level. I agree DL is concerning too. CB isn't overly concerning to me YET because we have talent/depth currently on campus and are still in the running for 3 big names. Lewis has the talent to be a program changer potentially.

I'm not doubting his abilities and definitely want to see him commit, but of the three 5-star guys we were going after (Holmes, Sarrell, and Lewis), I would put them in that order regarding position of need...DB, OL, and then WR. I feel we have some strength at WR with DPE, Morgan, Spielman, Reimers, some other walk-ons that I have heard good things about, then KJJ and McQuitty. It's always good to have more, but each of those guys I just mentioned is pretty darn good.

Well we didn't get those other 5 star recruits. I am positive it wasn't due to lack of trying. We have potential to get a fantastic guy in Lewis and not worry about the "walk ons you've been hearing good things about". Stop comparing Lewis to the other "5 star guys" because we didn't get them!!!!! Get over it and move on.

Pretty darn good based on what? Outside of Morgan I'm not sure any of have done anything at WR to prove anything. DPE has been electric in the return game but pretty average on offense. Spielman hasn't played a snap. Reimers is a solid walk on and can provide depth. But outside on Morgan nobody has shown us they can produce consistently, or at a high level.

Walk-ons you have heard good things about?? Good for depth but can't honestly depend on all these walk ones to help us win games. I honestly think Lewis would start day 1 with Morgan opposite of him and DPE/Spielman in the slots.. I like Reimers and think he will help us for 15-25 catches.. McQuitty will earn playing time and I think KJJ Redshirts.

I have moved on and hope you can too regardless of what happens with Lewis. We have Hawkins and Thompson as additional targets and Robinson is a big guy that could fill the need of a taller WR/TE combo. I just think all NU fans need to prepare themselves for not landing Lewis and then be pleasantly surprised if we get him. You are acting as if the sky will fall if we do not land him.

That's what you took from my post? I don't hang my hat on the decisions of 17/18 year olds. I am perfectly happy with the 2 wr recruits we have.

Read a quote from AA week from Johnson that I think does not bode well for us with Lewis. Essentially said it'd be cool if him and Lewis got to play together but don't have to. Said some schools are pursuing Lewis more than Johnson (USC imo) and that each have to do what's best for them.

No, no there aren't; not of his caliber.

Will not be announcing at Army All American game.

Bad for us I think.

In hindsight, very very very good for us.
