Maybe this one, 5* LB, Manti Te'o from Hawaii. Manti was a 100% commit to USC and C. PC, calling the night before, eh coach I'm signing 1st thing tomorrow morning. But, the next day he signs with Notre Dame. He said, when he woke up, God told him to sign with ND.
We were all devastated. Shoot, 4 years later in his senior year at ND, he became the biggest national and international fool by his fake girlfriend (Lennay Kekua) hoax. Hah, USC dodged that one real good.
Not a QB,, but Marvin Simmons' decommit(s) were a pretty big deal at the time. Academics caused that one so not the same drama. Same with Burfict although he didn't have to go juco. Gabbert was a bg deal for Nebraska as well.
Meshawn never formally signed with SC before Cal but pretty much every "insider" had him at SC.
I think it shows what a scheming meticulous detailed planned and manipulative controlling guy Riley is to be able to just sub one in for the other. I don’t think anything this guy does it ad lib. Ever. Everything is orchestrated
I dunno. Pretty sure everyone knew Lewis wasn't coming. I'd prefer to give Kudos to CLR on this move. Plenty of other things to gripe about but can't fault him for having a great plan D for a player who just didn't seem committed.
I'm a very happy camper. Glad it finally happened, our prayers were answered. JJ Lewis, Pro style QB was not the right fit for C. LR O. DT QB, Husan Longstreet is the way better fit for USC's, RPO. Lewis whoring all over the country was a big turn off, hate players that do that sheet.
Wishing Lewis all the best. That team had better have an A+ OL unit. I see JJ Lewis jumping around in the TP maybe 2 times in his career...
OK, but C. D Sanders will be gone soon. Lewis will jump ship and go whoring around again. I say it's a losing situation for Lewis. Well, if Colorado gives him a huge, up front cash deal, sure Lewis wins...
Hurray we're 5 & 5. Hurray our 3 star duck launcher doesn't get balls deflected at the line. Hurray, our 5 star decommited. Welcome to year 3 of the Riley era. Desperate for good news.
Well when he’s immediately replaced by a better prospect/fit it lessons the blow. Have not seen this….maybe ever? Sure its happened but I cant recall it.
if it has happened, I can't say it has happened with this position Or talents at this level. And absolutely never this fast. I mean what was that. 10 minutes?
Yeah, so add it all up and I don't think we have ever seen anything like that.

Will the Julian Lewis story = the Whitney Lewis Story?

🤣🤣🤣
Yea, Im with ya…I posted the same on X
FINALLY!
what a 💩
No, very unique proposition. And this was the feeling in general before the decommitments, not just some sort of coping mechanism.
Regardless, Deion did a better job than Lincoln in landing Ju Ju.
