Seeing Heinrich on the list (along with Raiola) anneals my belief that HH should start the first series of the first game, if not the entire first half. It isn't worth the psychological risk to trot DR out there because wacky things could happen. Yes, Dylan Raiola has more talent than Heinrich Harberg does. Yes, at the end of the year Dylan Raiola will be the starter, injuries aside. But Heinrich Harberg has infinitely more college game experienced in Dylan Raiola does. And that matters. What is the big picture gain from starting Dylan Raiola against UTEP? Are you worried about hurting his feelings? I don't think that figures into Coach Rhules equation. What might figure in is recruiting the five stars and seeing Dylan out there.
