Don’t see how this could be a bad thing. If he sucks he’ll just get a fake injury and watch Angeli and Minchey work. If he’s good and Gino’s a decent coach he could be real good.
Or just switch to basketball. He was a helluva high school basketball player.

Riley may be the best QB hitting the portal and when healthy is good enough with a supporting cast. The lack of proven WRs may hurt the Irish’s chances but Auburn doesn’t have any WRs either.

I remember thinking Bo Nix to Oregon wasn’t exciting, but I was wrong. Not saying RL is about to match what Nix is doing, but more that it’s hard to project. Even if he is mediocre, he still likely gives us a better shot in College Station, which is likely our hardest game next year.
I agree with this. I watched a fair amount of Nix at Auburn and he didn’t flash. Figured he was a legacy that got a little more hype due to his pop but it’s obvious now that he was being held back at Auburn. Maybe wrong system. Definitely facing weaker defenses.

I’ll be honest, my excitement just isn’t there. Can someone talk me into him?
He's the ideal qb to run a ton of RPO with. Imagine him triggering a backfield with Price and Love, with the option to hand it to one, or pull it.
Imo, he'll hit some wide open receivers with defenses keying the run.

According to stats provided by II, he threw for 3 touchdowns and 3 interceptions in 7 games this year...

Look at his 2022 stats and tape, ignore 2023

This.

He missed half the season and even during most of the season he played, he was hurt. In addition, Duke's offensive talent around him was BAD.

Jimbo left them loaded at QB. Weismann got hurt this year. Max Johnson just got picked up in the portal by UNC.
Yep, and if Weigman doesn't get injured A&M likely finishes with 9 or 10 wins and Jimbo would still be their coach.
