Dylan Raiola is again the talk of the town as college football fans throw backlash at him, doubting his potential ever since his exit from Nebraska

Just days after pictures of Dylan Raiola’s new girlfriend appeared on the internet, college football recruiting discourse took another sharp turn for Raiola. It all started when CFB insider Dylan Everyday ignited a controversy with a viral post taking direct aim at Raiola. The tweet bluntly stated, “Don’t let Demond Williams distract you that no one wants Dylan Raiola,” a remark that quickly spread across X and racked up hundreds of thousands of views.

What followed was a wave of reactions that placed Raiola at the center of online ridicule, with critics questioning his decision-making and future after his much-debated Nebraska saga.

Still, calling Raiola’s career “in jeopardy” may be premature. Quarterback development is rarely linear, and history is full of elite prospects who faced early skepticism before proving critics wrong. Yet perception matters, especially in today’s NIL-driven landscape. Viral narratives can shape public opinion, fan patience, and even recruiting momentum, making moments like this more damaging than they appear on the surface.

Once considered one of the most coveted quarterback prospects in the country, Raiola’s recruiting journey has been anything but smooth. His flip to Nebraska was initially celebrated as a program-defining win for the Cornhuskers. However, as roster moves, coaching dynamics, and competing quarterback narratives emerged, the hype surrounding Raiola has noticeably cooled in some circles. For some fans, this shift has become ammunition to paint him as overrated and unwanted.

As this post appeared on social media, fans were quick to react to it and share their views on it. One fan wrote, “He’s had a ton of suitors. His price tag is too high.”

Another fan wrote, “Is he short with a weak arm? He’d be the perfect replacement for Williams.”

One fan wrote, “Needs to start working on his pass pro he’s playing the wrong position.”

Another fan wrote, “Oh no I’m not distracted I’m laughing.”

One person stated, “He has a silent commitment to Oregon pending Dante Moore.”

“He should go somewhere with minimal expectations and ball out. Louisville is a good fit,” one comment read.

One netizen wrote, “He’s still in mourning over the TT job.”

A fan stated, “I forgot dude was in the portal get ready to learn the Akron Zips fight song, Dylan.”

Dylan Raiola has a lot to prove at this moment. Ever since his exit from Nebraska, fans have been disappointed in him.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas
