Elite 11 invite. 4 star TJ Lateef N
- Thread starter HBK4life
- Start date
Not doubting his dual threat credentials, but I watched two years of HUDL tape on him and he is a passer first as advertised. He moves the pocket well with a good awareness of threats, not as good as DR but then I haven't seen someone at DR's age who senses threats as well as he does.
I would assume the younger Raiola is the 26 qb. Lots of people who could potentially get that spot. Bell West kid. Vanden Bosch kid... 25 is a tough class to recruit a qb. 26 could be far easier if DR has a good year. 26 qb could win the backup job as a freshman and then compete for the job in year 2.
The daughter is, "Runs from Buffalos". She hit the portal already.
I have a feeling this is one who will enter the transfer portal before ever starting a game at Nebraska.
Of course if Dylan starts for 3 years and turns Pro for his Senior season..
That is going to happen now more than ever with portal/NIL - got to keep getting more talent each class.
That's why you never pass on a good one. Get the best one you can get every year and let the pieces fall where they may.

3 Elite 11 QBs on the roster next year. QB room has gone from a weakness to a strength.

I’m reading “The Leadership Secrets of Nick Saban” right now. He was/is very much a “next man up” guy. One of the top priorities, if not the top priority, every year was recruiting the best talent they could find to fit the process. No promises, no guarantees. Just hard work and an opportunity. I’m sure there’s some fluff in the book, but looking back Saban had a system and he worked it and better the players were the better the system worked.
Obviously the portal makes it much different now. But college football is much more offensive now and the QB spot is arguably more important now than ever. The urgency to sign an elite level QB in every class is higher now than ever.
The only way to assure the kind of QB depth needed to be in the top group of the B1G (and thus in the mix for the expanded CFP) is to stack blue chip talent every year.
Absolutely..people not wanting another great QB because we THINK we already have one makes no sense whatsoever to me.

I haven’t heard anyone questioning it - but 100% agree … iron sharpens iron!
