5-star WR Calvin Russell commits to [checks notes] Syracuse? For real, though... Syracuse

[cway313]

Jai Lucas has zero interest in these mid major basketball players taking up rosters spots when they can only play about a third of the season. Looks like he might roll with one. But not two.

Russell needs to gain weight, get stronger, and learn to play WR. This basketball thing flies in the face of all that.

Lol, yall will say anything. So Lopez is what exactly?

I’ve said it consistently. I’m not taking any of these WR who are playing pretend basketball. Have a great day.

the next chris paul as long as there is a chance he comes here.

The minute it was clear CJ wasnt coming here he became BOL BOL running routes on a football field.

 

[TheU1984]

Is anyone really upset seeing that list of finalists?

No. This guy ain’t it. Been moved on.

Do you really believe Calvin Russell is all in on being a great football player?

If he was Syracuse n FSU & Michigan wouldn't be 3 of his Top 4 schools. Almost seems like bball comes first actually

He rather go 1500 miles away to a 7-5 Michigan team that doesn't throw the football. Yea this guy isn't serious about football

That Michigan team just won a natty 2 seasons ago and had a WR drafted on day 2 a year ago. Those are 2 things we haven’t done since Jimmy Hoffa went missing, or at least that’s what it feels like.

Whenever he got his 5th star

the same syracuse killed the playoffs hopes of the team last year ...by literally throwing the ball which way and anyway they wanted to against this mario led team.

or did we all delete the game from our mind and dvr.

It doesnt matter....you have no choice in college its either sink or swim.

Football is the first sport in the fall so wherever he goes he will be playing that legitimately first ...basketball he would not appear until back end of conference if that with an opportunity to maybe log 5 mins a game wherever he commits.

There isnt much 6'4 PF's so it will work tself out regardless rather fast his freshman year.

Hes a back end of the roster player in basketball wherever he commits to.....and the nil will be coming from football soooooooooo>..??

WRs don’t win championships. You can always find a good wr. Go buy me a DT

Don't mean to be that guy... but if we had a particular one last year, I think we'd have won more no doubt

No the problem was the secondary was terrible. Offense wasn’t a problem at all. Literally scored on everybody

A game Dorito would have been proud of… our secondary was trash last year outside of OJ and our DC didn’t help them either.

Let’s not act like they didnt have a pretty good arm slinging it around either and won’t be back this year.

A lot of hot takes on this Russell kid about him being the next Jeremiah smith or being a flat out bust… good bumpable thread in 3 years.

I know I’m not alone, but soon as I saw the liability our secondary was I dreaded that Cuse game the whole time. Played out just as I expected, unfortunately.

Yea the reason is LSU has the #1 wr in the country committed and two other instaters locked in. lol

Ohio State has 4 wr committed already.

Those two schools arent going to PAY Him the NIL warranted and he isnt a NEED recruit for them.

He is/was a need for us who we couldnt recruit/sell ..pay... to come here. Got straight smacked really for him .

That's his list because he's making basketball a priority as well. Won't even get into the football side of the equation but this is because basketball matters to him as well and not a lot of high-end football schools are going to be willing to play this to sport thing for too long with him. Let alone when you talk about the NIL commitment.
