Looks like it may be a while according to the Indy Star. Also a mention of Russell Byrd.

Pike's Lewis to wait

Pike wide receiver Dyjuan Lewis, Indiana's top uncommitted prospect in the senior class, will wait to choose a college until he makes official visits.
He is allowed five official visits by NCAA rules. Among the schools he has scholarship offers from are Cincinnati, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan State, Missouri, Oregon, Purdue and South Carolina. He has not set his official visits.
Pike opens the season at 7 p.m. today against North Central.

Two ninety yard scoring plays in a single game? Against a powerhouse school like Indy North Central?

WOW and double WOW

Lewis hopes to narrow list
Wide receiver Dyjuan Lewis (Indianapolis/Pike) has over a dozen scholarship offers. He says for the time being he is considering all of them, though he expects that to change in the next month or so.
"I haven't narrowed my list down yet," Lewis said. "I want to do that by the middle of the (football) season."
Lewis' list of offers includes Indiana, Purdue, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan State, Minnesota, Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina, Arkansas, Oregon, Cincinnati, Louisville, Missouri and Colorado.
"I don't have any favorites right now," Lewis said. "I want to go to some (college) games, but I don't know which ones yet."
The 6-3, 190-pounder caught 29 passes and had four touchdowns during his sophomore season. Last season he caught 21 passes and again had four touchdowns.

From Palmetto Sports, some affiliation with the USC (S. Carolina) fan base...

Lewis likes USC because of the coaching staff and their recent history. "They've got good coaches and their program is really good," he said. "I want to play somewhere that throws the ball and where I have a good relationship with the coaches." He also said distance from home is not an issue. Lewis says all teams are equal and that he will wait until late in the season before he begins to decide on his favorites and which schools he will visit.

for a future reference point, Palmetto Sports does a very nice job reporting about high school kids. if South Carolina and MSU are after a kid that is a nice website to check for updates

Lewis was hurt last night, should only be out for about 3-4 weeks but it was to his knee.

The 6-3, 195-pound Lewis, who is drawing recruiting interest from colleges across the nation, limped off the field after Pike's first series.

He watched the rest of the game from the Red Devils' sideline with an ice pack taped to his right knee. Pike coach Derek Moyers said he expects to learn more about Lewis' condition today but isn't expecting him to play for the next 3-4 weeks.

thats not good at all

Hope he is smart enough to know his future is in college ball and not to push his return leading to more internal injuries and a messed up knee 2 years down the line

So with mumphery commit does that indicate less or the same level of interest to/from Lewis?

The same I would think. Lewis is a prospect that, IMO, would likely get early PT at MSU. Next year he could be the 4th receiver, maybe 3rd, on the roster behind Dell, Cunningham and Martin. Lewis is still one of the most important recruits in this class for MSU.

WHAT?!

That's the same stupid crap people were saying about Fowler going into this season. I will almost guarantee that if Lewis comes here, he will redshirt. He'd have to beat out Rucker, Smith, White, Fowler, and Spencer to get that #4 spot. I simply don't think he's going to leapfrog that many guys.

I'm not sure who said that about Fowler, but it definitely wasn' t me. He needs the most time out of any WR on our team to develop. He's only been playing football for 4 years.

White will be gone after this year. Rucker has made two good catches this year, but after last year he will have to prove a lot more to get more PT. Smith is redshirting this year and will likely move to TE. White is in the same position as Rucker, only he is behind him in terms of the depth chart. Spencer practiced at S, though he is a WR, but not sure about his position in terms of PT. Lewis really would likely only have to "leapfrog" one guy and that would be Spencer. Next time know what you're talking about before you post.

Out of all those listed, IMO, only Spencer would rival Lewis for early PT. I just don't understand some of the fans that think like this. You would think that MSU is an annual contender for National Championships. Oklahoma, Texas, Florida and USC are loaded at WR for a reason. These playmakers can make games out of reach for the competition in the matter of a few plays. Every one of the players that you listed weren't very highly recruited, though I think Fowler and Spencer can become very good players at MSU, but Lewis is one of the best WR's in the country. He runs a sub 4.5 40, he's 6'3 and if you watch the youtube video above you can tell he is very athletic. IMO, for MSU to able to take the next step and become a top 15 program they need playmakers like Lewis.

I think Lewis could leap frog to #4, but it’s not likely. It’s always about the next great thing for some people, they forget all about the old "next great player" that we brought in the year before and the year before that. Plus, how many times have we seen the less heralded players come in and out work the stars. Lippett and Mumphrey will have something to say about Lewis leapfrogging them as well? That makes 7 other WR's that Lewis would have to beat out to be #4.

I guess we have differing opinions on some of the players. I am thinking more into the next few seasons for MSU, rather than next year, though I still think Lewis would have a great shot at early PT. I'm not saying that Spencer, Fowler, Lippet or Mumphery aren't good. I think that all of them could become great players here. They could become some of the best WR's that MSU has had, who knows for sure how they will turn out. As of now, I think that adding someone, Dyjuan Lewis, that is considered a great WR would be beneficial to MSU. He considered to be one of the best WR's in the country and is more likely to play early than our other two commits in this class, though both Lippet and Mumphery seem like great players as well.

Out of the 7 WR's he would have to beat out, I think he has a pretty good shot. Consider in 3-4 years with Maxwell at QB with a receiving corp. of Lewis, Spencer, Fowler, Mumphery, Sims (TE) and Lippett. Then include Caper, Baker, Hill and maybe Storm Johnson at RB and this should be a great offense. I just don't think MSU is in a position to turn away any of the top players in the country.

No one is saying turn him away, we would all be happy to have him, but if we don't get him I think we have players in place already who can step up and contribute at a high level. In that regard he is not a must get for us. We do need to draw players of his talent level in more consistently, i agree with you there.

I understand what you are saying about MSU having some good talent and players at WR already committed and on the roster. The reason I think he is a must get is because he seems like a player that can become a star in our offense. When you have a player like this it opens up the offense for everyone. Some of our other commits and current players coudl become a star also, but I would prefer two of them. I just think of down the road how good the offense will be with one more stud WR on the roster.

IMO, for MSU to able to take the next step and become a top 15 program they need playmakers like Lewis.

The interesting thing to me is that you knocked White and Rucker for not having a lot of playing time yet are ready to anoint a kid who's a senior in high school as the #4 guy. As far as lack of playing time on the depth chart, do you think that it's possible that M. White and Rucker aren't getting a lot of playing time because of the fact that B. White, Dell, Cunningham, and Martin are just better than them at this point in their careers? MSU runs a pro-style offense that rarely runs 4 receivers let alone 5. In that situation it would be hard for players to see the field. FYI, don't look past M. White, he had a very good spring game.

As far as Smith, there has been talk of possibly moving him to tight end, but at this point, he's still a WR. Also, don't forget that Spencer was a 4 star recruit who's a big, tall guy who is similar to what Lewis brings. As far as him playing safety for a bit, that was for a portion of spring ball. He's been back to WR for all of fall camp. I don't think that was ever a reflection on his WR abilities.

In regards to Fowler, I could think of another receiver on our team who didn't have a lot of football experience growing up. That's BJ Cunningham. He worked out pretty well if you ask me.

I'm not saying that you don't take Lewis. You always want top notch talent. My argument is that you are blatantly ignoring the talent currently on the team if you assume he's going to waltz right in and leapfrog all those other players to get to #4.

I didn't knock White or Rucker, IMO, they just aren't on the level of some of the talent we are bringing in or that are currently on the team. MSU runs a decent amount of 4 WR sets for a pro style offense and White and Rucker have rarely seen the field, not sure if White ever has. White had a good game at the Spring game? Yeah, against our secondary that was split up against two teams, with two QB's that were battling for the starting position. Rucker has played well this year, but after the Wisc. game last year I'm not sold on him being a solid long-term contributor.

The Fred Smith TE isn't just speculation, it was reported last week by an MSU writer that this is the main reason he will be redshirting this year. It's safe to say that he may change his position or at least he will be praticing at TE to see if he can play there. Spencer could be a good WR, but he is not similiar to Lewis as far as their ability. While they have similiar size, Lewis ran an electronically timed 4.49 forty, and like I said before you can check the video above to see his athleticism. I wasn't implying that playing safety refelects Spencer's WR ability, but it was 4 months that could have helped with his development at WR. Fowler will likely need more time to develop his route running, strength, etc. Both Spencer and Fowler, IMO, will likely become very good players here.

"Anoint a kid that is a senior in high school." Stating that, IMO, he has a good chance to be the 4th receiver and anointing someone are completely different. He has the talent and ability to come in and play over most of these guys, IMO. He's one of the top 100 players in the country for a reason, and regardless of rankings he has the ability to at least come in and push the other players at WR. I'm not the type that comes on this board and states nonsense about a player or the team. I think that Lewis has a legit chance of getting early PT and I'm not the only one.
