Final Thoughts on Dylan Raiola Flipping from Georiga to Nebraska
Category

SportsTranscript
00:00 What is up, ladies and gentlemen, welcome in to the film got network on a wonderful
00:05 Monday evening, our second live show of three live shows today.
00:09 I figured today we'd break into the breaking news algorithm.
00:12 We go ahead and hop in line with the Dylan Rayola take or excuse me, the Carson Beck
00:15 takes when the Carson Beck news broke.
00:17 So a lot of you probably already listened to our live reactions from the Carson Beck
00:21 news.
00:22 He will be returning for his fourth year at the University of Georgia, his senior year,
00:26 technically red shirt junior year as a starting quarterback second year as the name starter
00:31 entering the season.
00:32 We obviously have more reactions off of that news today, but that news wasn't sitting on
00:37 the timeline longer than probably what, 10 or 15 minutes, J. Will, before ultimately
00:41 the new news hit, which is Dylan Rayola flipping and committing to Nebraska.
00:46 And I want to preface because we're going to play agent Brooks here today.
00:49 We're going to put on the agent hat like my man's for the New York Giants agent.
00:53 Have you seen my man's captain Italian?
00:56 He is nuts.
00:57 We're going to put on that agent hat right quick and play a little game of agent Brooks
01:00 because I love to do it every once in a while.
01:02 When I see a blatant mismanagement in public relations, which I think is what we had today
01:07 in a long lineage of public relations, I'm not going to call them nightmares.
01:11 Let's call them mishaps from the Dylan Rayola camp today.
01:13 We're going to play a little agent Brooks, but I want to preface agent Brooks with this
01:17 statement.
01:18 I personally do not have confirmation or reasons to believe that Dylan Rayola is a competition
01:25 Dodger.
01:26 I don't believe that to be true.
01:28 That being said, there is some overwhelming evidence that my timeline likes to throw in
01:32 front of me.
01:33 And if I were to be his agent, if I were to be the person that is in charge of controlling
01:37 the narrative around this young man, we probably would have handled things a little bit differently
01:41 today.
01:42 Like I don't know, letting the Carson Beck returning news sit for a little bit before
01:46 we announced our D commitment, which by all means everybody knew was kind of wrapped up
01:50 bow on the, on the present.
01:52 That being said, there was still even last minute communications with Georgia and the
01:56 Rayola camp dating is, I don't know, back to yesterday.
01:59 Okay.
02:00 So this news today was still news today.
02:03 So why are we dropping it today?
02:05 Because again, if I'm going to play his fake agent, I'm going to let you know, there is
02:09 a narrative about this, right?
02:10 There is a narrative about quote unquote, this guy likes to dodge competition and this
02:15 all could have been avoided or at least another notch on this proverbial belt could have been
02:19 avoided today by just letting this news sit for 24 hours or 36 hours or hell even better
02:26 yet letting this Joker build all the way up until national signing day.
02:29 Cause why not?
02:30 You'd be the only guy on national signing day with any type of juice around your name.
02:33 Again, if I was playing your fake agent, okay, which I know for a fact, this kid's got representation
02:40 and they're smart people.
02:41 They should be, they should be selected by smart people who understand this business
02:45 like his father, right?
02:46 Played 12 years in the league, got good representation.
02:49 You would imagine he would have good advice around this stuff.
02:52 Like I'm about to feed you.
02:53 Okay.
02:54 There was obvious reporting and obvious signs that this recruitment in RIOA avoided the
02:59 arch man recruitment from get go, right?
03:01 From get go, there was no link to a possibility of if you land arch, you have a chance to
03:06 get RIOA.
03:07 They had to be separate.
03:08 That was rule number one.
03:09 Okay.
03:10 Or a bullet point.
03:12 We heard this guy avoiding competition.
03:14 That was the very first little nugget.
03:16 We heard the next one that a lot of people are going to run with now is he avoided the
03:19 Ryan Puglisi competition.
03:21 Everyone's going to try to run with that one.
03:22 All right.
03:23 So you got to avoid that one too.
03:24 All right.
03:25 He pushed out Kyle McCord and Nebraska.
03:27 That's a narrative that this camp has to defy.
03:29 All right.
03:30 Or at least has to answer for, or even if they don't, the public narrative is forcing it
03:34 upon them.
03:35 He got linked to Nebraska.
03:36 All of a sudden the quarterback that was linked to Nebraska, no longer going there a little
03:40 fishy right with the timing of that situation as well.
03:43 And now today we get the, Oh, well Carson's coming back 10 minutes later.
03:48 This kid declares that he is flipping to Nebraska.
03:51 Again, I do not believe in this narrative of this kid is avoiding competition, but all
03:56 of these bullet points are hard to defy.
03:58 If your job is to control the narrative around a young man, which is exactly what the case
04:03 is right here.
04:04 A 17 year old kid who's extremely talented is very, very good going to have success in
04:08 the world of college football.
04:10 But man, that's not even the worst thing with regards to his public relations nightmare
04:14 of today.
04:15 Okay.
04:16 Because this, and I'm not going to allow us to crap on a 17 year old, but this right here,
04:21 this is public relations.
04:22 No, no.
04:23 This is why would you ever let that happen?
04:25 Why not just tweet out an edit that you had Hayes Fawcett make for you?
04:28 Why are we tweeting out poems?
04:30 Because poems are going to leave us getting flamed in the mentions of everything.
04:35 Again, the timing of this is all your control.
04:38 You can decide when and where you want to do this.
04:41 All right.
04:42 And how you go about doing this is all in your control.
04:46 In the realm of college dreams where purposes take flight, enter Dylan Riola crafting his
04:51 narrative in the night.
04:52 Once lured by Georgia where powerhouse glory gleamed, yet Nebraska's purpose in his heart
04:57 brightly beamed in the scarlet and cream where legacies entwined Dylan like Rogers, Rozier
05:04 and crouch a hero in the line.
05:07 No longer a cog in some powerhouse machine, but a quarterback with an even grander ambition
05:12 unseen.
05:14 So fellow fans await with hope in the air for Dylan to choose his purpose to declare
05:19 in a weekend's decision.
05:21 He calls to fulfill his purpose where a new destiny in thralls.
05:28 Not like that, bro.
05:29 Not like that.
05:30 We can't be doing it like that.
05:32 But hey, here's one thing I will give credit for because I think it's important to note
05:37 this.
05:38 This recruitment, say what you want about all the agents involved.
05:42 Say what you want about the handlers involved.
05:43 Say what you want about uncle playing a role in this.
05:45 Say what you want about mom, dad, whatever.
05:46 All right, whatever.
05:47 Move in all over the place.
05:48 Say what you want.
05:50 This kid very obviously had a role in all of this.
05:53 We watched that highlight film the other day.
05:54 It was very obvious he made that sucker.
05:56 Like all of this has writings and clippings of a 17 year old on it.
06:01 And for, for that being said, all the control that gets thrown on all these high talented
06:05 kids, this kid obviously played a major role in his own decision.
06:08 So I want to give some kudos to that.
06:10 But that right there, Ooh, probably wouldn't have let that one out.
06:14 What's up J will welcome in.
06:15 Nothing much, man.
06:16 But yeah, a little like kudos to you for being creative, doing it a different way.
06:20 I guess that kind of feels like that's kind of been the route that he's taken with his
06:23 recruitment.
06:24 It's a little different than most number one quarterbacks, you know, handling business
06:27 a little bit differently and no shots there, but just the timing of everything, how it
06:32 unfolded like early national signing day is two days away.
06:35 Like I kind of figured that I think most people assume that's when the decision will be made
06:38 and that's when it'd be announced.
06:40 And then to do it in a poem, which if he wrote that himself, dang bro, maybe you got a career
06:45 in literacy, but I don't know, man, just interesting all around.
06:49 I think this was a chat GPT.
06:52 Give me a college commitment.
06:53 That sounds like a Christmas song.
06:54 You know, you can put that through like a AI thing and see how many like percentage
06:59 points it is for AI.
07:01 Yeah.
07:02 I had to do this for a competitor one time for plagiarism.
07:06 Might have to check for chat GPT plagiarism came back 87% by the way.
07:11 Yeah.
07:12 Straight theft.
07:13 Yeah.
07:14 Anyways, back to this discussion.
07:17 I do question again, agency hat.
07:19 I do question the timing.
07:20 Like, come on, man, we can do some things to avoid the additional criticism that you're
07:25 ultimately going to open your up to open yourself up to, which is unwarranted, which again,
07:29 that's the whole job.
07:30 And for people saying that the, that maybe he's not represented, I'm going to tell you
07:34 right now you were at the elite 11, Evan, I know you're off camera here.
07:38 Evans had multiple representation group, not groups, but people.
07:42 All right.
07:43 Whether it was somebody handing him a bottle of water that he was endorsing openly, whether
07:47 it was waiting for cameras to start rolling before he could put the special logo towel
07:52 on him, whatever it was, every single portion of his recruitment from a personal perspective,
07:58 like being in person and watching it, it seemed very controlled to me.
08:03 Very, very calculated.
08:04 Every step of this really, really kind of arc, they look like this.
08:09 It seems somehow calculated the whole time.
08:11 So this looked to me like, uh, you know, whoever approves these things just allowed this one
08:17 through, which is fine.
08:19 Again, commit how you want.
08:21 But I told you guys before the show, I would imagine the upperclassmen and Nebraska will
08:27 have multiple copies of that printed out multiple copies of that printed out.
08:31 Um, and probably put around the locker room just as like a, Hey, welcome to the, to the,
08:36 to this team.
08:37 Um, we're going to troll you relentlessly for your poem.
08:40 Yeah.
08:41 I mean, I think the whole timing around the, over the last week or so with his commitment
08:46 as a recruitment process has been a little interesting.
08:48 Like this last weekend, you're seeing pictures of Ryan Puglisi on, on campus at the university
08:53 of Georgia now, and he's getting rolled in.
08:54 And then I don't know if it's later that day before that, but you see clips of Dylan Rayola
08:58 at a volleyball game, I think it was, or something like that in Nebraska.
09:01 Yeah.
09:02 Wrestling match.
09:03 That's what it was.
09:04 So I, the timing in general of things like when they're released and whatnot, and how
09:06 this has gone about the business and things.
09:09 I just, very interesting to me.
09:10 Very unique.
09:11 I should say, I do want to get it on the record.
09:13 Um, the kid's going to be good.
09:15 Like he's going to go to Nebraska and he's going to be good.
09:17 Um, is he going to be great?
09:19 I don't know.
09:20 I think that's the delineation between all these quarterbacks.
09:22 It's why NFL GMs either make a hundred million dollars in their career or their career is
09:26 not very long, right?
09:27 Cause you either hit on these things or you don't.
09:29 And it's a, it's very much so a coin flip, but from a college perspective point, our
09:33 uh, production standpoint, I think he's going to do really, really well.
09:36 Yeah.
09:37 I think even though we had some questions about his highlight tape, where are the rippers?
09:40 Where are the seeds, baby?
09:42 That's exactly like you could clearly see very good at throwing the football, extremely
09:46 talented, good head above his shoulders.
09:48 He processed the information really well.
09:50 It was just, it felt like an aspect of the game was missing.
09:53 Of course, that'll be answers when he gets to Nebraska, cause you're going to have to
09:56 see that on the football field at the college level.
09:58 So yeah, questions, but also no questions in regards to how talented he is.
10:03 Yep.
10:04 Um, and again, all, all the question marks from us come from a, he's not an a plus athlete.
10:10 Okay.
10:11 But I don't know if that'll ever get developed, but then again, like Pat Mahomes, I wouldn't
10:14 classify as a plus athlete.
10:16 He's an a minus, okay.
10:17 Maybe a B plus in terms of an NFL athlete.
10:20 Um, and will you rip a football?
10:24 And again, man, it sounds like so silly to be sitting here talking about a guy who's
10:27 like this talented with his arm to be questioning whether or not he's going to turn on one and
10:32 absolutely, you know, the old piss missile, like we got to see those things.
10:36 We eliminate a lot of the tree when we don't do those things.
