Breaking Dayton Decommits

[SlumpBuster]

So...do we have any bomb shelter type info here? (Sounds like it was a surprise to everyone)

 

[Herbie]

Lmao
Love when the shit starts getting slung around

 

[macmoolah]

great stats. 30-40 positive rushing yards per game is a big difference in the long run.

helps your oline, helps you convert 3rd,4th & Goal line situations.

my ideal qb can throw for 3,000 yards and rush for 500.

"My ideal qb puts up heisman numbers"
let us just grab a kyler murray or RG3 lol.

Isn’t Bryan Wilson is huge whiner?

Yeah, Scott Shanle levels of retardation.

You need someone who at the very least can keep a defense honest.
Teams know they don’t need extra rushers to get Dylan. Drop7 clog the lanes and confuse him.

The whole situation always bothered me. As a program we were made to believe Dylan needed to save us and the only way for that to happen would be to bend our knees to the Raiola family, hire the unimpressive brother, and give the other son a scholarship who wasn’t a convincing QB prospect. The coaches have to handle Dylan with kid gloves, no criticism and protect him at all costs. The relationship has been all one-sided to this point and it’s not really befitting of a proud, tradition rich program.

I’ll be honest, I think it would be refreshing to cut ties with the entire Raiola clan.

Think having a twitchy QB who can be a threat with his legs helps twofold:

1. Saw a really interesting theo ash video about athleticism and how it helps QBs fix mechanics - thesis was JJ McCarthy can't be fixed because he lacks the athleticism to push the ball without straining his body. If a QB is a threat to house it at any time it can be reasonably assumed they are "toolsy". Dylan's polished but he seems like he struggles to really push the field. Worries me

2. Your point. Feel like Dylan has the capacity for great pocket awareness and scramble ability but his athleticism limits what can be done in both the designed run game and off-schedule run game. Lateef is more capable of surving behind a bad OL and converting third downs

1) I don't think this is over
2) I always had DYLAN'S over/under for seasons here at 2.5
3) If you are bailing because of a game our backup played well in against a team with no HC, we don't want you anyway (not saying that's what happened)
4) What if Holgo/Rhule all of a sudden started seeing that a mobile QB made it so we didn't have to have all-conference linemen for our offense to really click?
5) Going with #4, what if Dayton saw Lateef as a true freshman, himself committed for 2026, and Taylor for 2027 and said "one of these things isn't like the other"

My gut... The Raiola's had the honest conversation of "we see Dylan's backup and we see the guy committed a year behind Dayton, is that what direction you're going when Dylan's done?"

#4 few buddies of mine and I have been talking most of this season, that we don’t have the core around Dylan to really make him shine. An offensive line that hasn’t been as advertised and WR core that is pretty good not great. That’s why this offense might be better off overall with a qb like Lateef that can be mobile and deal with an inevitable break down that requires a qb to improvise more. If he had stayed with Georgia or Ohio state he would probably look VERY good. Even with the supposed “money to buy anyone in the country” now it would take a couple of more seasons to get that COMPLETE core around him to fully take advantage of Dylan. Sucks that we will probably lose a legacy player after this season to a different school but that’s the way college football is now. If he stays, and I hope he does, Rhule needs to get the O line in shape starting with either a different o-line coach OR bringing in another one to help Donnie.

Here's my major issue with donnie besides that he sucks out loud

in the current NIL/transfer era and this dates a back the last 5-10 years. If you want a transfer OT to come to Nebraska, they have to pitch the idea of changing their technique compared to a majority of programs and I believe NFL teams.

Why would you, as a recruit, go somewhere that they teach wonky shit for a 1-2 year rental. Does not make much sense to me.

 

[Scarlet ObsessioN]

This is an ESPN top headline.

Never tell me we aren't relevant still..

 

[Dell Husker]

Could we flip Jett?

 

[Adolph Coors]

"My ideal qb puts up heisman numbers"
let us just grab a kyler murray or RG3 lol.

kyler
4200 passing yards, 1000 rush yards

rg3
4200 passing yard 600 rush yards

not asking for the moon with 3000/500

Yeah, I tend to agree with this.

Rhule has to set the tone that no one is bigger than the rest. If Dylan walks, so be it. We can get a veteran QB in the portal to compete/back up Lateef. Also, Rhule seems to prefer a bit more of a dual threat at the position, which does not describe the Raiolas.

All that to say, I’m fine if Dylan transfers.

That all sounds well and good but he'd have to hit on his deep balls to look great.

 

[SolichFan1987]

Could we flip Jett?

Not likely.

But he would have similar playing time competition at Bama. 5 star Keelon Russell will be a RS freshman next season.

 

[kchusker1423]

Could we flip Jett?

No. I don't think so.
