Any chance we can get him over here to deliver the raw unfiltered inside information?

Again, why the secrecy then? Why drag it out another 3 months? No one has sufficiently answered that yet. If he's truly determined to bring 4-6 guys w him, he's better off committing now. If he waits 3 months those 4-6 guys may start getting squeezed by their other offering schools. Some are already starting to get squeezed, it's only going to get worse in the next 3 months.

I guess CL's argument is that Dylan is working extra hard with Kirby to ensure a landing spot there if he needs to transfer later. IDK man...

Trajectory of Nebraska's football program impresses the weekend's blue-chip visitors​

Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule hosted many of the nation’s top prospects this weekend as the first-year Huskers staff showcased the vision they and the administration have for the historic program.

247Sports No. 1 prospect Dylan Raiola returned for the weekend arriving Friday and staying into Sunday. Their experience included a Huskers baseball game, time around the staff and of course conversation with athletic director Turd Alberts.

The Raiola family has raved in the past about the relationships they have in Lincoln, have talked highly of the vision Rhule has for restoring the program to prominence, and what the support of the fanbase has meant during this recruiting process.

Raiola was one of several five-stars and Top247 prospects taking in the atmosphere in Lincoln, one oozing of excitement as this new era dawns on Huskers football.

“Everybody has nice facilities and stuff like that, but they have something in the works that looks like it’s going to be pretty crazy,” St. Louis (Mo.) University School five-star receiver Ryan Wingo said. He arrived Friday and flew out early Saturday to get home for a track meet. “They have a new facility that’s being built and you’re like woah, that’s a huge thing they have going. That stood out the biggest.


“Also you feel at home when you’re there,” Wingo continued. “You feel like that at other places too, but the Nebraska coaches, that was my first time up there and the coaches made me feel like I’ve been there a whole bunch of times and I was real comfortable. It was a good trip. Obviously me and Dylan keep getting that connection and bond. It was a fun place.”

247Sports No. 1 defensive lineman and No. 1 offensive tackle were also on campus in Lee’s Summit (Mo.) North five-star Williams Nwaneri and Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei five-star Brandon Baker.

“I had a great time,” Nwaneri said. “I enjoyed myself. Meeting the Nebraska coaches and seeing the new facility also being built, that was an awesome highlight of the visit. I think they’ll be a successful program. Talking to all the coaches and talking to Coach Rhule especially, he has a great vision for what he wants to do. They definitely made a good push.”

“It was great, the environment was great,” Baker said. “It is exciting to see what they are building, they have all the resources to restore the great program!”

Nebraska is in the thick of it for many of these blue-chippers moving forward.

“The people there are as good as anywhere and the fans are unlike any other,” Burley (Idaho) Senior Top247 receiver Gatlin Bair said. “There’s a different energy there right now everyone in the building is on the same page and trying to get the program turned around. I think that Nebraska is very similar to Idaho and the people and place really just felt similar. The new facility and how devoted they are to improving development and recovery was super impressive”

“The atmosphere was incredible,” Cheshire Academy Top247 defensive lineman Jerod Smith said. He was joined by his brother and fellow Top247 edge recruit Jacob Smith. “The fans really love the football program. What excites me most is the potential they have with their new head coach, and he’s a great head coach, and he’s gonna do really good things for the program. The new facility they’re building is going to be a game-changer.”

“Lincoln was crazy,” Katy (Texas) Taylor tight end Ian Flynt said. “There were so many great players around me that I was able to connect with. I loved being able to sit in on meetings this weekend it gave me a great look at how the coaches coach. I also loved being able to watch their practice it allowed me to see a lot about the offense they run. I’m excited at how enthusiastic these coaches are to be here, I’ve never seen anyone want to be in the building more than this coaching staff.”

“The atmosphere in Lincoln was great this weekend,” Sioux Falls (SD) Jefferson linebacker Thomas Heiberger said. “I can’t imagine what it’s like on game day. Everyone in the program seems excited for the future of Nebraska football. I think that the vision they have for the team and the culture Coach Rhule has set in such a short amount of time is exciting. I was able to talk with some players too and they’re having a good time. I’m definitely looking forward to being back.”

Other prospects on campus over the last few days included Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei Top247 running back Nate Frazier, Peculiar (Mo.) Raymore-Peculiar Top247 tight end Jaden Redell, Kansas City (Mo.) Rockhurst Top247 offensive tackle Andrew Sprague and Logan (Cockeye) Magnolia Top247 offensive tackle Grant Brix.

Rhule and company also hosted some top targets in the 2025 class.

“It was a great atmosphere,” Lee’s Summit (Mo.) North Top247 receiver Isaiah Mozee said. “I feel like the Huskers are on the rise to be like their past. The head coach seems like a good dude.”

Good summary article by Wiltfong. It is interesting how some guys bring up Dylan Raiola when unprompted. When asked about how your trip to Nebraska was and you respond with something about Dylan Raiola, it's interesting. If Dylan truly was N, I wonder if he would tell Wingo? Surely he knows you can't trust 17 yr olds to keep a secret like that.

These kids are good at saying nice things but in the end saying nothing.

What I was told was that Dylan's Mom's Family was questioning his choice of Nebraska. They didn't see how it could be better for him than proven Georgia or USC. They were worried that Donnie was pushing him to Nebraska. They were taking the additional visits to appease those family members. That's what I was told over a month ago by an Insider who said Dylan told the Coaches he was N.

He seemed confident but things can change when dealing with teenagers. Especially if the family now has concerns about Matty D being involved with his potential NIL $$$. I can understand not wanting Matty involved. Dom knows him from their playing days so probably more insight than me but from what I've seen Matty reminds me of more of a sleezy Used Car Salesman than someone I would trust handling a NIL Program. We all know that without the connections to Frost or the Peeds that Matty would not have had these higher level Husker based jobs. Besides glad handing Boosters for donations I don't think he brings any value to Husker Athletics.

Yeah that’s the worst sign I’ve seen so far

Right, forgot about that. Well, if true that scenario still looks in play.

I am just skeptical because in my career (in business/sales specifically) whenever you got a huge sale but they go "We just can't sign w you for 3 months..." something ALWAYS happens in that 3 months to derail it. So I'm programmed to think this way RE: recruiting.

It's a dangerous game for Rhule. But it kind of screws over Riley and Smart too. One wonders if they're content to just sit on their hands for 3 months while DR wastes their time some more. But then again they're paid $10m/yr to deal w this drama.
