Rhule was pleased with Raiola’s debut, saying the freshman “played a complete game,” but is far from polished. “I’ve never met him before, but tremendous amount of respect for that guy, what he has to deal with, with everything that comes with being a Sanders,” Raiola said to local media. “I have a lot of respect for how he’s handled that.
