2023 - 2024 Portal - Ins and Outs

I don’t even want to share this because, if true, it kinda pisses me off. But it is so rare that I get anything resembling inside information. According to a booster in a position to know…. McCord wanted $2M and NU wouldn’t do that. Take it for what it’s worth.

I’m going to choose to believe that it’s because Raiola wanted a legit shot at starting as frosh and McCord demanded to be penciled in as the guy. I mean from all we’ve heard, I would expect the going rate for a guy like McCord would be about $2M. I refuse to believe we are bargain shopping for a legit QB1.

McCord is not a 2 million guy. His suitors will not be able to pony that up. Think if that’s the case they were trying to milk us. Secure Raiola.

May as well throw a few hundred k at Gronkowski from SDSU when he’s done with the FCS playoffs.  Career 64% passer with 66 TDs and 12 INTs over 3 years as a starter.

I have been on this bandwagon for weeks. More than likely he will be in his 3rd NC game too. Up for the FCS version of Heisman. Just a junior, but 18 of the 22 starters are seniors. He may look to leap for his final year. Would be major upgrade from our current room, but maybe not a sure starter over DR

If this is what went down, good.  I don’t think this is how Rhule wants to do it and I support that.  Spending that kind of cash on one player seems to go against what he’s said.

I would think 2M would be at the upper end for sure but considering our QB room this year, I kind of expect to get milked a little bit by any proven QB1. Of course it’s not my money but I don’t think we’re in any position to be trying to save $500k. Didn’t Rhule just say the market rate is 1-2M?  Unless we are damn sure Raiola is a done deal but it would still be nice to have a seasoned guy and more time for DR to get up to speed. JMO

I get that it's lesser competition, but that 66:12 career td:int ratio for Granowski kinda has me drooling a bit.
