It's tough to see these quality in-state QBs go to other schools, but it's hard to blame this one on Rhule. If NU realistically has a good shot at the #1 QB in the nation, you've got to go for it. But the timeline just wasn't going to allow for Rhule to go all in on Raiola and if he commits elsewhere, be able to double back and sign Kaelin. He was being recruited hard by pretty good schools.
Right now, I'm hoping for Raiola or nobody at all as far as HS recruits go. There will be 100 QBs in the portal with any luck, we'll find a decent prospect there. I have no desire to see NU go after a marginal QB from some far away place who is 95% likely to transfer anyway.
