Raiola

Seems like he has been NU's to lose all along, which Frost succeeded in doing. Of all the screw ups, I'm not sure there is a single event that encapsulates Frost's failure at NU as much as his failed recruitment of this kid. He basically just had to hit the ball out of the infield off a tee, and he whiffed.
It was an epic screw up for sure. But let’s not sell Frost short here. This is the same guy that chose not to take Burrow or Dugan and who whiffed on the Top 4 in-state players in 2021. Nothing was a sure thing for him.
I think Frost's ego got in the way of rational thinking and his drinking habits didn't help from what many are saying. I guess sometimes when you're rich and powerful and immature some individuals minds become mudded and that's what Frost antics seemed to me. Thank God we have a solid family man who is sober and on point, Matt Rhule understands what he's been assigned with and is not going to fritter away this opportunity. I'm also glad Trev Alberts made sure he got the man that he wanted and who he feels will revitalize the program. jmo
In order to hit that ball off the tee, you have to first get up and make your way out to the tee.
Seems like that was a pretty big issue for the past coach.
At any rate, hopefully Raiola's N.
If he is N, a public announcement would probably go a long ways in helping the coaching staff assemble an incredible recruiting class around him.
Frost was like Pelini in that they both had an indifference toward recruiting. Neither of them wanted to recruit. Both of them figured talented team would naturally fall into place, and their superior coaching strategies would lead us to great success.
Nothing
Worst coach in our history, was fired because of it, and he remains jobless also because of it
Silent commit doesn't really make sense...Especially for a QB that would want some sweet TE's and WR's to join him
Yeah Bo was satisfied with top 25 classes.
His best class fail a part the 2010 or 2011 class which was a top 15 class I believe
Exactly. Bo and Frost both got top 2025 recruiting classes. Both got there by bringing in higher ranked talent that most programs had stopped recruiting. And then few of them even played, let alone lived up to the hype. Bo was indifferent. His two best recruits had nothing to do with earning a high ranking and were guys he knew little about and had to be talked into offering- LaVonte David and Ameer Abdullah.
It ain't over now, 'cause when the goin' gets tough, the tough get goin'. Who's with me? Let's go
USC signed the #1 QB this year. He may not be interested in potentially sitting until he’s a Sr.
That's what the transfer portal is for. If he doesn't win the job at USC, he could always transfer to Nebraska or somewhere else.
The point of the post was that they're a Nebraska family, as evidenced by the photo. N was always his true destination.
"Looks like every other tweet" is FALSE. You rarely see the entire family posted up on university gear. Raiola is N.
it does if you consider he has another year of high school ahead of him, the ability to pick wherever he wants to go to school, and the foresight to wait and see if Rhule appears to be another disaster hire for Nebraska.
Sure but then why commit at all? It is not like he is worried about having a spot.
Frost is a douche and a bad head coach. As we saw, that combo is going to lose you a lot of games.
They have their five star QB and are not going to mess around and lose the kid by bringing in another five star. Look for Raiola to go to a great program where he will all but be guaranteed the starting job day one. Nebraska has a very good shot at signing Raiola but it is about the talent they need to surround him with. Let's hope Nebraska has a quick break out year in 2023. there are no guarantee's however, they need to fill some big holes throughout offense and defense.
My guess is he will commit some where in May after Spring practices have wrapped up and before the summer recruiting season gets in full swing.
