I bet this kid is a 4 star by the time he gets here
Kaelin is N!
- Thread starter HuskerDrew
- Start date
Headcard definitely approves of this..
Funny how kansas, kst go after Nebraska kids. Who in their right mind would commit to those dumps lol
Raiola is in part ranked where he is because Georgia offered him early. DR has arm talent but there’s nothing to say Kaelin won’t be as good or better when it’s all said and done. They have to win a job first.
Of course, just going off of what we have right now; their highlight reels. DR shows more accuracy and arm strength in his tape. More so arm strength.
But he wasn’t a commit until the other QB was off the board. This was a delicate balancing act that Coach Rule carried out to perfection.
Just can’t judge what’s between their ears. That’s a huge factor when you hit D-1. I expect DR to be very good but we’ve seen plenty of top ranked high schoolers fail miserably in college.
Rhule HAD to go hard after DR even though I suspect he knew it was a long shot. Thank goodness DR finally let everybody know his plan.
This is a nice pick up. Hope he kills it here. Raiola can F*** Off.
Yup… Instead of ignoring the F out of Flores?
Who woulda thunk the silent treatment, burning bridges along the way, doesn’t appeal to top in-state talent?
That other QB was the number 1 player in the country. But give this young man credit for not holding it against Rhule and company for going all in on Raiola until the end.
Cool. Don’t get it, but hope you feel better now.
How did Bellevue West only win 6 games last year with all of this high-level D-I talent? Just curious. It appears that they went 6-3 and lost in the 2nd round of the playoffs.
Many here were perfectly fine ignoring the best quarterback to come out of NE in 25 years
They said as much over and over and over again
Same people would never own up to those posts today. Pathetic if you ask me.
3 of their 4 losses were to Westside and Gretna, who were the top two teams. They also lost by a point to a decent Kearney team. It appears their D couldn't stop anyone decent.
I’ll own up to thinking there must have been some logical reason for Frost to not offer Flores. Clearly In hindsight there was not. Frost and Harry Potter’s grandpa screwed the pooch on Flores. To be fair I never saw Flores play. I always try to give our staff the benefit of the doubt until it becomes absolutely clear they don’t deserve it.
Fortunately we now appear to have a head coach who doesn’t have his head up his ass.
They weren’t all seniors. That’s a big deal. For me personally I really didn’t figure things out until few games in to my senior year. I wished the light had come on during my junior year. I would have had better offers.
Verdu was fired in 2021
You spent the following year stumping for a 5’6” kid from Massachusetts
You also posted - in a thread started by one of Flores’s family members, mind you - that he was self-reporting offers
Cannot make this stuff up

This is all coach Rhule. This is a significant get in both talent and intention as a program.
I’m gonna get lucky tonight. Good luck to you …..
Zane seemed like a no brainer QB but for whatever reason it didn’t happen. Whip hinted at character issues with him but Whip also said the best QB’s were pricks. My guess is he ZF just didn’t gel with the staff and Whip just really wanted WWIII. I think if MR was here last year, ZF would be a Husker. Just totally different kinds of people in comparing this year’s staff vs last year’s staff.
But if we could stay healthy, I like the potential of a path of Sims to DK. there’s definitely a scenario that the ZF Miss could end up not even mattering. So let’s hope that’s the case at this point.
Who knows what the hell Frost and his staff were thinking. It’s water under the bridge. All we could do was and is speculate on why they slow played him. Right now, I would rather have a junior Sims under center than a true freshman Flores. Who knows if Flores ever starts a game. I wish him well.
Welcome young man!! Home grown is home!! Hubby hates when I say that
What? Are you his uncle or something? Better than Raiola (at some point)? A low three star vs..the number 1 player in the nation? Jesus.. Whatever get's you hard. He is an OK get, but comparing him to a five star? Whatever.
What a back up plan! Another Nebraska low rated recruit! Has any of the last 20 yrs qb's from our state ever panned out! One good thing about missing out on top recruit! They can get rid of his under performing Uncle who sucks at coaching and recruiting!
Your much more likely to see a Sims->Transfer QB-> DK
The only way they weren’t getting another transfer QB after Sims was with Raiola. That’s the new world, and if they do a really good job with Sims, turn him into a high draft pick, then they would likely get a really really good transfer QB.
I’m glad things worked out like this. I think if DK played in Texas, Florida or any other big time state in talent he would be a strong 4 star, kid has big time talent
I thought the old know it all queen kong was gone. I was wrong.
I'll add they had a huge lead against Gretna in the fourth quarter of their first game and couldn't put it away. Truly a game for the ages.
Gretna rallies in fourth quarter for comeback win over Bellevue West
Cameron Bothwell booted a 25-yard field goal with 8 seconds left Friday night to boost Gretna to a comeback win over Bellevue West.

3 thoughts on commitment of Daniel Kaelin to Nebraska Football
Nebraska football landed a massive commitment on Saturday from quarterback Daniel Kaelin and here are three thoughts. It’s crazy to think that just a few days ago, lots of Nebraska football fans were panicked about the quarterback position, especially as it pertained to the 2024 recruiting...

I remember Beck being the 4 star stud QB savior from Florida. But he lost the job to 3 star Zac Taylor who was 2006 Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year at NU.
And later Joey Ganz a lightly recruited 2 star that Callahan signed
Who did a hell of a lot better than Sam Keller.
He's already a 5.7. 5.8 and a 4th star is right there.
