Dmoney basically s*** on Raiola in a few posts. The dude with the inside info whose entire site exists to pump up Miami is not going to s*** on a QB that has the potential to land here.

Miami paid the most for a QB last cycle. And they don't have one yet this cycle. It would be wise to bring up Miami if you're an agent looking for a ton of money.

He's also sunshine pumped half this board into believing Emory is elite. So you're making some sense here.

I know but I think i rather actually just get the better QB.

I do understand the hype train that would be started with Raiola, but still. Hype doesn't win games.

I'm undecided. I know better than to pretend freshmen numbers mean a lot. My bigger concern is surrounding with talent. We haven't upgraded the talent enough to help a young QB imo.

I've watched some of each. I see Dylan has clearly the stronger arm.

But mobility goes to mensah. Accuracy goes to mensah.

A big strong arm isn't the end all be all at QB. Thats what scares me the most about 5 star qbs. Ppl fall in love with a rocket arm, but being a good QB is so much more than that.

Mensah is such a lottery ticket. He could turn out to be the investment of a lifetime or the biggest waste of money of all time.

He only started one year in high school too. There's just not much to go off of. Definitely not enough for the asking price.

I don't buy the Raiola to Miami talk at all. But.. I'd rather it be Raiola just to witness Rhule's tantrum. I don't think he could handle losing his starting QB to Miami. Not with all the **** he's talked.

I don't think the competition is comparable. Having big game experience is a plus imo. That being said both could be good here. Neither would be as prolific as Cam so the bar has been set to high.

Yea there is no QB like Cam. Mateer is the closest, and that's obviously everyone's #1 option still.

Every other QB after that is a risk to a certain extent.

When? I've been saying Emory is a backup since the beginning.

Come on man.

Most of the posters on here never played or coached. Which is fine. But that means they only have your word/insight to go off of.

They take what you say about guys looking good in a practice setting, or coaches liking them, to mean "they're an underrated star."

Look at how many people are convinced that Emory is a future star. They didn't come to that conclusion based on what they've seen.

I had a poster tell me to kill myself in defense of Emory like 5 days ago. Granted, that poster is a crack head, people are dying on the Emory hill for a reason.

Your words have a lot weight, intended or not.

- Emory Williams won over a lot of teammates with those two runs. At this point, I would project him more as an ideal game-manager backup. That doesn't mean he can't be more than that, but we need to procure a starter from the Portal.

How much more direct can I be?

Agree on all. My gut feeling tells me it’s Raiola’s agent putting out fake rumors for Nebraska to up their contract.

I just spent the last 20 minutes looking for any sourcing to substantiate this rumor and came up empty. The NU fan boards seem to think this started with 247 using a stock Raiola photo for their portal coverage articles. As far as I can tell, no national reporter has said they have heard Raiola is going to transfer at all yet, let alone to Miami.

Id be happy to be wrong though.
