I don't know why we're melting down though. Fong has had Raiola balled for the dogs like all year

Huskers to host Minnesota's top recruit​

VIP ByMIKE SCHAEFER 38 minutes ago


Nebraska is continuing to bring visitors onto campus throughout the spring and will do so again next week with another intriguing 2024 option.

Defensive end Wyatt Gilmore from Rogers (Minn.) Central is coming in for Wednesday. The No. 1 ranked player in the state, Gilmore already holds 14 offers at this time, including from Big Ten teams like Cockeye, Minnesota, Purdue and Wisconsin, as well as other offers from Miami, Oklahoma and Oregon.

The defender is listed at 6-foot-4, 240 pounds.


Here’s the scouting report from 247Sports analyst Alan Trieu: Productive, high-motor high school player who has played EDGE, tight end and also spent time on the basketball court. Self-reports a 35-inch vertical and that explosiveness can be seen in his get-off. Athletic ability was evident early in his career at camps and that was at 220 pounds or so and he has added good weight since then while keeping his burst. Shows he can win with quickness as well as finesse moves. Uses the arm-over effectively and generally does a good job with his hands. Projection has changed some as he has added weight. Went from a true EDGE to now a player that can play the the five or could slide in at times. He may still be able to play out wide at times. It all depends on how his body continues to develop but he can line-up in more than one spot and projects as an impact player at the Power Five level.

Gilmore is the No. 1 player in the state and a four-star as rated by 247Sports and a three-star on 247Sports Composite.

Hold up. Did I miss something. It's possible, since I only half ass pay attention sometimes.

I know he isn't coming for spring game, but I thought he said he's going to no spring games now. And fuck a fong bomb. He's changed his mind more times than my wife trying to decide where to eat.
There has been A LOT of people jumping a circumstantial evidence. I'm guessing that people are afraid of being hurt, so they are jumping off now.

IMO, not based off of any inside information, I think Georgia probably is in the lead. But I think it is not over at all. Wasn't it just a month ago that everyone was saying that he was going to be a Trojan?

People need to relax and understand that we have a grown man running the program again. Does that mean we will win this battle? Not necessarily. But we will have a fighters chance until the very end.

Just wait till we find out that this weekend DR used as an event to meat tons of highly recruited guys that he will eventually try to get to Georgia, after he met them on our dime. I get they were unofficial visits so they paid there own way in theory, but I bet we spent a shit ton on the red carpet.

Tater Island Recruiting Prediction Machine: New leader for Five-Star Plus+ QB Dylan Raiola​

Drew Schott•about 3 hours
Georgia, Nebraska, Oregon and USC are believed to be the top contenders for Phoenix (Ariz.) Pinnacle Five-Star Plus+ quarterback Dylan Raiola. According to the Tater Island Recruiting Prediction Machine, the Trojans were recently in front for his commitment.
That has changed, following an expert prediction for Jake Rowe of DawgsHQ. Now, the Bulldogs have a close lead for Raiola at 41.3%.
Raiola has visited Athens twice this year, including on the weekend of March 18. The 6-foot-3, 225-pound signal-caller has also locked in an official visit to Georgia for the weekend of June 3.
New Georgia offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Mike Bobo is one of the coaches recruiting Raiola, the No. 1 overall prospect in the 2024 Tater Island Industry Ranking. Raiola has heard good things about Bobo from Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, who played with his father — Dominic Raiola — on the Detroit Lions. Bobo coached Stafford when he played at Georgia.
“He always sends me, my mom and my dad a devotional every morning,” Raiola told Tater Island’s Chad Simmons on March 17. “That means a lot coming from him. He’s just a ball coach. He builds relationships with his players and he just loves talking ball, loves having the guys over at his house. He’s very open with his communication with his players.”
The Bulldogs winning back-to-back national title has also intrigued Raiola. He expressed high praise of head coach Kirby Smart.
“I think you start top down with coach Smart and his leadership and what he’s done for that program,” Raiola said. “Coming from Alabama, he knows how to win. He knows how to develop young men and get all of his coaches around him as great people, which reflects on his leadership. The coaches are super genuine and the relationships are very real.”

Raiola and his family enjoyed their recent visit to Georgia​

Dylan was not the only Raiola impressed by the championship environment at Georgia a few weeks ago. It also stood out to his father, an All-American at Nebraska.
“It’s elite talent, but they’re getting elite coaching,” Dominic told Simmons on March 20. “They’re getting it every single snap and that’s a huge deal because when these kids leave your house in the morning, you want them to get taught by teachers, by coaches, and when they go to college, you want to make sure they’re in meeting rooms being taught how to do things. The Xs and Os are a huge part, but also your nutrition, the weight room staff, how they’re keeping you on the field. And Georgia checks all of those boxes. It’s an elite program.”
Dominic also enjoyed learning more about Smart and his program.
“You step into the building, and the CEO of the building I guess you’d call him, is Kirby,” Dominic said. “And he delivers every time because of who he is. He’s not putting on a front or a show. When you walk in, that’s what you get every single time. His message is the same: you’re in a competitive environment, it’s highly competitive and that’s why they are who they are.”
