Dylan Raiola Enters Portal

Mateer didn't have a very good season and I could see where a change of scenery may be appealing to him; but what's the reasoning behind why Simpson would leave Alabama if he doesn't declare?

But there really is zero reason for Materr to have waited this long to enter portal imo unless it’s specifically to go to Miami or Oregon I suppose.

But then you’d think you’d hear some type of buzz for OU in qb portal talk…

If he’s willing to work and check this **** at the door, cool. Bring him in. If not then move on. Someone’s gotta tell this kid eventually you want to play in the NFL. Are you going to do this crap when Mahomes is one of the teams you are vying against? It’s gotta end eventually. Do it now.

Why does it have to end? Who is it hurting? NFL GMs won't give a sh*t if he's winning super bowls just like the original. He just needs to be a hard worker and not bring off the field distractions.
 
once Moore declares for the NFL, Raiola will commit to Oregon and then proceed to win the heisman. meanwhile we will be rotating between Nickel and Coleman trying to find a winning formula. i bet all of you picky skeptics will then be wishing we had signed 'fat' mahomes.

beggers can't be choosers, Raiola is the only obtainable guy left that can fill the Beck void.

JMO but at this point...with whats left available in the portal...I dont see how you can pass Raiola up. Now we can speculate on QB's that may enter but they may not and then you are really fvxked.

To those that say no to Raiola....who is the realistic option right now? Honest question

It’s a crowded room at Bama. They’ve got the #2 player in the country from last years class which they are reportedly high on. They also have Mack who DeBoer really liked and brought with him to Bama who had a close competition with Simpson and looked good in his limited reps.

Bama won’t be able to keep all 3… if Russell is fine with sitting the bench another year behind Ty then it’s fine… if not they’ll have some tough choices to make.

I have a question for all of the people critiquing Raiola.

Out of all QB that are IN THE PORTAL AND UNCOMMITTED, who would you take over Raiola? (Assuming Leavitt chooses LSU).

No answers of hoping somebody enters the portal. Im asking about what available rn.

no one
Chiles, Langway, Knight and Pribula would be next

He is obviously the best option available using your criteria.

Folks who disagree please educate us on why DJ Lagway, Deuce Knight, Gio Lopez, Aidan Chiles, Beau Pribula, Anthony Colandrea, or Luke Kromenhoek would be better options. To make it easier you can use Bryum Brown even though he's going to Auburn.

If there is no news the next few days, you have to assume he is a done deal in place somewhere, Oregon or Miami makes most sense.

No one. It was Sorsby, Mestemaker, Raiola, Becht and Leavitt for me. Only one remaining.

I would be interested in Mateer or Simpson if they jumped

Mateer is doing really well before the injury.

Simpson would leave bc of Russell’s NIL and they couldn’t run the ball (no reason why that won’t change).

Based on your parameters, for me:

- Colandrea (UNLV)

Then I’d get to Raiola. If Simpson enters, for me he’s option #1 or if they can get Bailey to jump.

That within itself is a distraction. Everything the kid does from his uniform, to warmups, to how he plays mimics someone else.

I mean it’s a hot button issue on this board and we really haven’t been that publicly linked to the kid. The point is if he shows up here, dedicates himself to the program and culture and becomes the best version of himself, not someone trying to mimic another player you get that.

I want someone who’s bought into the bigger team vision. He makes it very well known and apparent that he is cosplaying as another QB and that doesn’t portray to me that he is bought into the bigger vision. If he shows up and is the best version of Raiola then I’m all for it.
 
The U is back to work said:
What’s the alternative now? I guess if Mateer or Simpson enter portal but they haven’t yet. If neither does, who else is out there worth it other than Raiola that isn’t already trending elsewhere?

Still feel like we will be circling back to CJ Bailey hat in hand adding $500k to his current offer at NC State

I sincerely doubt Bailey would even entertain an offer. If he was butt hurt last cycle this cycle wouldn’t make him feel better.
