According to Chad Simmons of On3, new Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule is taking drastic measures in an effort to impress Raiola. Nebraska is sending "nearly its entire coaching staff" to Chandler high school in Arizona for a visit with the nation's No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2024.
Raiola, who initially committed to Ohio State but withdrew that pledge in December, recently included Nebraska among his top four schools. He also mentioned Georgia, Oregon and USC as standing out in his recruitment.
given the fact that Nebraska hasn't played in a bowl game since 2016 and hasn't finished a season ranked in the top 10 since 2001, Rhule and his staff are wise to pull out all the stops in an effort to land Raiola. Were Raiola to sign with the Huskers, he'd be the school's first No. 1 overall recruit since the advent of recruiting services and its first five-star signee since 2005.
