Dylan Raiola

As a former D1 athlete, I can tell you it's absolute work. I loved it but it wouldn't have made sense without the perks and the potential to go pro later. I would have changed teams if it I benefited me. Players change year to year, coaches change frequently, fans don't really care about you unless you are winning. Of course the team element is there but the reality is most are doing it for personal betterment.

It’s also culturally acceptable now. This idea of “team” is fluid now. Just the way it is.

Roughly 80% of QBs enter the portal at least once. This whole we need players that want to be here is complete and utter BS. Get over it. College football is about money and always has been for the upper tier players. It's just in the open now.

Regarding DR, I think it's interesting that our coaching staff came out and said they preferred a mobile QB. Maybe to justify not paying DR as much of he ends up staying? Feels a bit like negotiation strategies... millions are on the line so us fans should expect that i guess.

Has there always been money under the table? Sure. Some programs a lot more than others and that made competition less equal. Now, programs like Nebraska can offer the same amount as Alabama and be within the rules.

Both can be true. Money in the game and players that want to play for your school. AND, sometimes even those players end up in the portal.

I have wondered if part of Nebraska’s problem is finally getting the annual funding injected into the program to put up the money that other programs have found donors for already over the last 2-3 decades. Cam Newton, Reggie Bush, Johnny Manziel, etc. Nebraska is like a discount double check compared to other programs.

Laquon Treadwell was committed to Bo until Ole Miss paid his mom. Makes me wonder what Louisville did with Lamar Jackson

Dylan Raiola's New Girlfriend Adds Unique Wrinkle To Transfer Portal Saga With Nebraska Return Looming

It appears as though Dylan Raiola is either going to stay at Nebraska or enter into a long-distance relationship with his girlfriend. She is a true

I mean you don't have to believe it but it is a possibility that's all the source was saying.

It's gross that people are speculating about someone's girlfriend and their relationship.

I’m feeling pretty sure that all of this was started by a random guy on Twitter after too much of Aunt Janice’s egg nog over Christmas vacation.

It seems ridiculous that he’d actually decide he wanted to stay at this point.

The last time this narrative picked up steam it was reported & confirmed by HCMR he would be entering the portal the next day. In the absence of facts, people can't help but speculate.

Also worth noting in that presser that Rhule spoke about Dayton and concluded by saying "I can talk about him because he's no longer a recruit". If Dayton's only P4 option is being a Dylan rider & they are a package deal...call it speculation or deductive reasoning, this ship sailed a long time ago. I would bet the only thing HCMR has done since Dayton decommitted was accept reality & limit Dylan's negotiating leverage.

Dylan wouldn't be the first athlete to overestimate his value, paint himself into a corner, and sell his next decision as a choice. If that is indeed how this plays itself out.

IIRC, we were Dayton's only P4 offer. Others were App St and Charlotte 49'ers.....Looks like not a lot of other schools saw in Dayton what Nebraska did....

Agreed. And add Donovan getting fired and it just seems like the Raiola family’s involvement with Nebraska football is now so obviously over.

But of course, anything could happen if Dylan doesn’t get any decent offers by the middle of January.

Taking a girlfriend back after she went out and tried to bang the starting QB is gross... just say'n
 
Where ever Dylan goes I will happily tune in and watch his games if I can. I really do like the guy, he is a good QB, and coming to Nebraska was exciting. He still has a lot of room to grow and time to work on his weaknesses. I don't think his current value is quite as high as his initial projection, although the amount of game reps has been beneficial and valuable. He should get better. Key word should. Or hopefully.

But on the flip side, I care more about NU and what we have currently than whatever happens to Dylan moving forward.
 
The QB who wins the National Championship this year will have likely won as many games this year as DR in two years.

Time to find that guy.

Either I don't understand the analogy or wasn't clear. To be clear, put me in the camp there's no chance he's coming back & this didn't go the way he thought it would if he ends up anywhere except Oregon or Miami.
