I'll answer his question this way then.....CT probably has a better chance of playing at Nebraska right now than DK does.

Silly season. I think. Who would have guessed with this morning's fireworks that we'd lose two QBs but get a very talented offensive lineman to walk on. I guess it makes as much sense as that for a former QB in his 217th year of eligibility to come back simply because he was seen playing some ball on campus.

How long? I gotta return to my pumpkin in a few days.

Who are his options that would pony up a rumored 2 mil for a rent a player and feel they got their money's worth.

I probably wont even believe it then. That's how crazy things are starting to get.

What they should have looked at were his stats. That look on his face when that reporter told him Sims had led the country in turnovers is forever ingrained in my memory.

Almost certainly. Would explain the canceled OV.

If it's true Casey has transferred back, this is officially the craziest day in recruiting history. EDIT: To be clear, I know nothing.

What can I get for a wrinkled $20 and a couple of promising looking scratcher tickets.

At this point I just don't want to wake up to a reddit post titled: TIFU By Recruiting the Top Player in the Country.

That's why most of these 1 year guys transfer. In the case of McCord, he's done his time sitting behind others. It's his time to play.

How much I got to donate to get a QB. A real one this time.

Could definitely be one of those hidden gems and sounds like he's doing us a solid with our scholarship numbers just because he really wanted to come here. Instead of celebrating getting another lineman, we're all crying about QBs.

I thought that too until he scheduled a visit to Michigan St. We'll see, though. This QB recruiting cycle has more twists than any soap opera.

I think the family thing gets overplayed. Certainly it got our foot in the door, but we're a week away from signing day and he's still committed to another school, and that wasn't even his first choice. Frost probably could have done more to have put us in a much better position years ago, but I don't think it can be denied Dylan and his familty have taken a very business type approach this. Rhule probably wont be fired anytime soon because that buyout would be obscene but there's lots of way this could go south, including firing other members of the staff. There's just so many situations where Dylan isn't the roadblock to Kaelin's playing time and so many situations where people at another school potentially could be. I just like the guy and hope he's looking at the bigger picture and not running off to play somewhere he doesn't want to really play at when there's so many potential scenarios where this isn't maybe the detriment it may appear at first glance.

Notice in Rhule's interviews this season how non-committal the answers were about the future of the offense. By coaching standards he's a pretty straight shooter, but not on that question. It just backs up the idea that they weren't necessarily doing what they wanted to be doing but what they had to do given the extraordinary situation they were in. The McCord news today is disappointing. There are varying opinions on just how good he really is, but this program right now has a tremendous bottleneck that is the QB position and he's certainly good enough to have helped resolve that. There isn't a player on this roster that same thing can be said about and it's a very tall order for *any* true frosh QB to do that on Game 1. I feel like any talk of scheme is pretty academic until that QB question gets solved.

Up until 5 mins ago there was too much smoke around McCord, too. Everyone, everywhere was convinced he was coming to Nebraska. That's why I take all these rumors with a grain of salt.

Where's all of this good news everyone was teasing this morning. All we've done today is potentially lose 2 quarterbacks.

In that interview he's not only expressing what he'd desire to do but also recognizing the challenge of it in today's landscape. You can be an awesome development program only to see your guys poached. That's rampant in college football. I don't think any coach is really happy with how this is going right now and I think most are well aware you're not going to maintain enough NIL resources to both bring in players and fend off poachers.

If we look at top rated QBs over the past few years, then there's a better than average chance Raiola eventually transfers. I feel very argumentative in this thread and I don't want to be but I feel I'm fighting against a wave of very short term thinking that is in no way indicative of how college football actually is functioning right now. This article on QB transfers has some insane stats on how ridiculously prolific QB transfers have become.

I still think what I thought before the season.....I don't think he wants to do as much of that as he did, but they had to do what they could just to hope to move the ball. When you look at a guy like Carter Nelson, you're almost wasting his talent as an inline TE. He's ideal split out. At SC, you'd see Satterfield play a lot of multiple TE sets at times but he'd put them all over the field. So, I think you can still generate good box counts with how he'd ultimately like to do things if he had the personnel to do it. The quotes are appropriate there, for sure. They're only a power team relative to what the general college football landscape is. Their passing game has a lot of Air Raid concepts, for instance.

I really hope Kaelin stays. Given time I think he has the potential to develop into something, but as a prospect, he's not even in the same Zip Code as Raiola. Very few are. Everyone would take DR over DK. But in a few years from now, that may not mean much. QBs are weird like that. You could have a guy that's all world talent beaten out by a guy that looks like he should be sitting in the stands.

I don't think it's that speculative. We saw him come on for a couple of plays vs Minnesota that back up the idea they may have wanted him in a sort of multi-purpose role but then it became apparent punting on first down was probably a better option than letting Sims continue to play so a lot of things had to change.

Against the head coach whose defenses were predicated on 2 high safeties. That's why I'm not responding to the rest of your comment. That idea is pretty foundational to understanding the post.

Nebraska is the OG at that. I'd like to think the last 7 years have humbled us somewhat, but it's in our DNA. When I watch Georgia media and fans these last few weeks panicking because they lost 1 game and potentially one big recruit and yet they still have a fantastic QB room, almost certainly the top class and will rank very, very highly next preseason it gives me deja vu to how we once behaved. The difference, and likely why Dr Tom lasted as long as he did, is we didn't have the internet back then to amplify everything. At Georgia, Raiola is another QB whom may not even ever start as crazy as that sounds. They have a lot of talent in that program and as amazing as Raiola is as a prospect you could make the argument he isn't even their best QB prospect in this class. Plus Kirby has developed a habit of having QBs sit several years and that may not jive with what Raiola is looking for. Here, he's the legacy, the savior of the program. We saw how Frost handled that burden as coach.
