Dylan Raiola (QB Nebraska)

That is what I eluded to I think previously before my last post. This move has divided Buford a good bit and that includes the coaches
Gotcha. Didn't realize the coaches were divided too. I figured Papa Raiola had some convos before this happened to smooth things over.

But I agree wit what everyone was saying about the QBs currently on the roster. It's a slap in the face to them for him to expect to start 2mos before the seasons starts

I'm kind of surprised that Kirby would bring this circus into his program. He just won two with a guy that nobody wanted, it isn't like he needs to deal with all that comes with the Raiolas.

I don't think that UGA is his last stop.
Man, have you followed their off seaon!?! UGA is resembling the Richt years now! He seems fine with the circus, as long as the kids are talented. He's playing a dangerous game.

And tbh. it seemed like he wanted any of the higher rated QBs to beat out Bennett for the job and they couldn't. Bennett was smart enough to not screw up and get the ball to Bowers

I haven't followed them very much at all, but if there's drama I'm in.

I'll always view them as the Houston Rockets of the 90s-winning titles while Jordan was playing baseball. Bama, Clemson and LSU weren't themselves the last two years. Maybe Kirby knows that and is desperate.

Yeah by the day I am more and more happy with landing Noland instead. The moves Railoa has made and the news surrounding them would make me worried for him to be our future at QB. Not sour grapes, but this kid doesn't seem worth the hassle.

A feeling that is no doubt influenced, for many Buckeye fans, by the recent experience with Ewers.

Oh for me it definitely is, that along with Tate. I think this sentiment will be repeated elsewhere (oddly enough with Ewers and Arch), but that is a topic for a different thread. In this instance, one would think this kid starts immediately for UGA just on talent. But if he doesn't start right away, you can guarantee he transfers. Even if he does start, he may divide the locker room. Air Noland comes in (as far as I know) baggage free and an equivalent talent, so I honestly feel good on this one.

Plus Air is a winner, I have to think he comes put ahead in the intangibles comparison.

Dylan Raiola, Buford: He is the top player in the nation for a reason. Despite only having 51 yards in the first half, he came back out in the second half poised. He was able to grind out drives and make some key passes leading to first downs and tossed a pretty deep ball on the lone Wolves’ touchdown of the game.
The national analysts are doing their best to keep this kid and his ranking propped up. He's getting the Arch Manning treatment it seems. Rank a kid so high, based on potential, keep him ranked high even when he looks average in some camp settings. Make excuses for him when he looks average- bad, but if his team still wins, label him a winner, and talk about how he's "gutsy" and shows "moxie" to will his team to victory. If he loses, then blame the OL and skill position players or even play calling.

Fact is, the team Buford played is a decent NC football program. They played Buford last year and lost 56-7, without a 5star all world QB. Raiola is on his 3rd HS, and is supposed to make Buford look like a GA version of IMG. And so far that hasn't happened

Some UGA fan comments on Twitter/X and their message board

He just runs like a fat kid running the mile when it comes to escaping and scrambling
That game was awful. Not impressed with much. Wasn’t impressed with kj. Not impressed with Dylan. Houston played well.
Everything he does seems like it’s in slow motion… I don’t like it.
I agree. Not a twitchy cat. Biggest concern is he isnt taking over a game. The special ones do.



They don't seem happy with their future at QB
