2024 Recruiting Thread

[FearlessF]

Dylan Raiola, the No. 1 overall recruit in the 2024 class, has reportedly changed his visit plans.

According to a report from On3, the five-star quarterback is no longer visiting Georgia next month.

The No. 1-ranked quarterback in the Class of 2024 received a standing ovation at a Cornhuskers' basketball game yesterday, and returned the favor to fans by performing the school's signature crossbones arm gesture. 

Speaking to 247Sports on Saturday, Raiola offered the following seven-word quote to describe the display: "I’ve never experienced anything close to that!"

Michigan gets a pair of commits from Ohio. 4* RB Jordan Marshall and 3* OT Ben Roebuck.

5* QB Jadyn Davis is releasing his top 5 list at 5 pm on Friday and then will be committing a week later. All signs point to Michigan. Davis just visited Ann Arbor last weekend for the 7th time in the last year. Davis has been the #1 QB on Michigan's board in '24 since day one. Apparently he was #2 QB on OSU's board and was high on OSU, OSU's #1 was Dylan Raiola, who is a 5*, #1 QB and #1 player in '24. Raiola committed to OSU really early, which sort of drove Davis right into Michigan's hands. 

Michigan has also made up huge ground in the recruitment of '25  5*, #1 QB Bryce Underwood. Underwood made 3 visits to Ann Arbor in the past month alone and has apparently really hit it off with new QBs coach Kirk Campbell. It was no secret that Underwood and his family were not fans of the old QB coach Matt Weiss. At all. Michigan went from basically dead in the water and completely out of it for Underwood to probably being tied with LSU for the lead there- and they are gaining momentum in that one by the day. Wonder if landing Davis might hinder some of that momentum with Underwood however.

Across the entire country, some of the nation’s top 2024 recruits felt their phones start buzzing.

Dylan Raiola was going to check out Nebraska on March 24-25 — and he wanted to know if they were coming too. The caliber of prospects coming to Lincoln this weekend for a junior day are historically good. Four five-star recruits, 12 four-stars and of course, the nation’s top recruit.

How did all this talent decide that for one weekend, Lincoln was the place to be?

Call it the Dylan Raiola effect.

“You gotta follow Dylan Raiola, right?” said tight end recruit Ian Flynt.

damn it!

MSU was sitting well with 4* QB Jake Merklinger, getting 4 unofficials during the fall, but as he's set to commit, it seems like Tennessee has wooed him.  Granted Georgia is also in his final 3, even though they are recruiting him as their Plan B this cycle.  Lol, must be nice,

The NIL thing must be very significant these days for many of these fellows.

[FearlessF]

I hope so

an unequal playing field is Nebraska's only hope

well, besides Rhule being the answer

[Cincydawg]

I think a smart elite player would go for less NIL money now if it meant better potential for more money in three years.

[FearlessF]

you bring that up a lot

smart 17 year old elite athletes

heck most aren't smart enough to listen to their grandmother

[Cincydawg]

smart 17 year old elite athletes

That could be an oxymoron of sorts ...

Some do listen to advice, no doubt some don't.

[FearlessF]

your point is valid

for most players, especially 4 and 5 stars players - the NFL is the goal

they look to programs that send the most platers to the NFL
