247 Says Raiola Potential Portal
- Thread starter scorcher2
- Start date
I'm shocked to learn someone thinks other schools have contacted Raiola.
That's like saying "Raiola likely to start at QB next season"

Why wouldnāt he consider the portal? This is pro football and heās a free agent. Itās not like we wouldnāt take him back.
There are Yankee fans who think Soto was a terrible jerk to take the Mets three quarters of a billion dollars, too. Like all of them wouldnāt do the same thing if they had the chance.
We will only be successful in this environment if we learn that the ādevelopmentalā rules we played by are dead. If Raiola leaves we need to make ASUās qb an offer he wonāt refuse. He already left MSU last year for more money at ASU so why wouldnāt he listen?

Yes. That development will need to be reserved for 8-10 of those 3* OL/DL kids that have potential to be starters or backups in a year or so and need time to get bigger and stronger. The time to win is becoming shorter and shorter because the gap continues to get wider and wider.
I don't know why any of this surprises anyone. This is college football now. And, Nebraska sucks at the moment. Until that changes, kids like DR will bolt.
This is why MR is in a bind. He has a lot of work to do. And, a lot of influences not in his favor. The odds are against him.

If this happens and DR transfers out I might have to seriously reconsider my opposition to crack cocaine
Didn't the Yankees offer him basically the same money? Honesty I didn't read in detail about it. I'm way more into the types of players that the Royals can get for a Quik Trip gift card and a bucket of balls.
Letās hold the phone, really donāt see this happening this year..
I thought he was low risk to transfer this year too. But who knows? Our program is a dumpster fire right now and I am sure he is being offered tons of money to go elsewhere
If he's basically planning on coming back, which I think he is, the reason he wouldn't just jump into the portal for shits and giggles is because it would be extremely damaging to the program. If he's thinking about the portal there's no reason to go public with it. He can find out all he needs to know through agents and back channels. He knows if he puts himself into the portal it will have far-reaching consequences for Nebraska. There would be a hell of lot less to come back to if he changed his mind.
One thing about it, Rhule just absolutely can't make a hiring mistake with the DC and the DL coach.
In a way, Rhule should be doing the same things.. he should be trying to recruit above him.
Let me ask a question in a different way.. how many Freshman QB's start off 6-6 and go on to great things?
Oh I know DR has talent, and he's going to be a much better QB in year 2.. but I think you can find someone better out there if you tried hard enough.
If we aren't trying to get the top kids at each position, then that's kind of a problem isn't it?
IF Dylan is like his dad he may be the type of kid who's just gonna stick it out, even when his team isn't a contender for a long time. Dominic stayed with the Lions forever and they sucked, I think?
Down the road, the GM's have to like guys who are gonna stay loyal and not jump at the first sign of more money.
JMO
That's irrelevant. It's about the potential for the kids that Dylan may be able to bring here.
To my knowledge heās doing his best to peer recruit from the portal.
we must be talking different languages..
has nothing to do with the kids he is bringing here if he himself is leaving
True, but even in pro sports, at some point a franchise has to have a core of players who anchor themselves to the team, help bring in free agents, maybe even restructure their contract to create some salary cap relief. Seems if Dylan (or anyone else in his position) wants to win next year, he and a few others have to say that they will be here no matter what so that their team is attractive to other transfers.
If he wants to leave to go "someplace better" why come here in the first place? Why not just go to OSU and win? There's no reason for him to put himself through year 1 at Nebraska and then not come back for year 2 and possibly 3.
sure there is.. he get's to go to his fathers school and gets "that" crossed off before he does what he wants to do..
But to be fair, DR has not only been hamstrung by his underperformed OC, but it's been implied that said OC also had a bias against our best rb
oh I get it.. how Satterfield still has a job is beyond me.. As for DR, his Daddy won a Natty, so the kid probably wants to win one too.. I think that's a completely legit rationalization.. if that is what is going on. You all remember what it was like to be a kid that age, you want to show up your dad, not only accomplish what your dad did, but also do it better. They might let it play out another year, but there is zero chance the kid stays here a 3rd year if Matt doesn't get it going.
Anyone in the country has the same issues.. Be amazing how much we beat this dead horse to the ground for months..
And no way he wins a national championship at Nebraska. None. Zero.
my mistake if that's not the case.. the guy's name is on the stadium, so I assumed he was part of that group
Dominic's first year was 1998. There are lots of guys names on the stadium that didn't win a natty.
What a moronic statement.
We have some real gems who call themselves Huskers fans that I just canāt comprehend.
doesn't really change my reasoning though.. from the kid's perspective "Dad's name is on the stadium, I gotta beat that by winning a natty.."
Exactly and he was at the Chiefs game last night with Mozzee and Merritt
