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

[grover]

if he comes he is great out of the slot. Needs a ton of s&c he and Nick Lennear.

How’s he doing as a senior?

 

[Odysseus]

No way he goes to play for that mess

Good but Nic on the same team looks like the real 5star.

Looks really good to me. He catches a lot of flack on here for being overrated, but he can't help what he's rated. I get it, he may not Chris Henry, but you make room for him no matter what, kid is super talented.

Let’s land both, and right the wrongs for missing out on pairing smith with trader

clearly you don’t pass on his type of talent if he wants in. Nic could reclassify. Wingo looks dang good. Moore should continue to develop. Just keep landing and stacking with the kids that want to play at Miami.

Russell has to see that cuse is a paper tiger with no real chance to go far each year. He also needs to pick a sport as the days of Bo, Deon… are over. I’m ok with him playing both for a year but pick your revenue and make it happen

Im on the fans side that you dnt over pay for this kid. Never seen a 5star that so many had mixed emotions on his game. Im not paying 5star rates on him.

Yeah in today's game obviously funds allocation is the big factor, but if it's reasonable…Ya take Russell all day.

Maybe Fran leaves or realizes spreading out the NIL helps with wins.

Its not about whether he deserves a scholarship. It's about him being overrated inflating his NIL potential and demands. Just not worth it from that perspective, especially when his teammate is likely better, and we REALLY need to add two 5star Dlineman and a top S ideally. That'll be expensive.

I hope he loved it and sees himself as an immediate plug & play up there.

Go be great kid!

I literally said in the next post it is all about asset allocation…I get it town cryer…Chryst

I don't know the guy, but he strikes me as an "anywhere but Miami" guy. I could be (and hope to be) wrong, but I don't think this result will sway him at all.

His friend success might especially if we let him play basketball too

Dia Bell would like a word!

 

[PUNCICANE]

Does he have 5 star speed? Does he have 5 star production?

 

[canecrazy23]

Clemson is bad this year, but the Syracuse starting QB got injured in the second half of the Clemson game and missed this one (and will miss the rest of the season).

Does he play defense?

Eh, it's easy to spin. Fran can sell Russell on Angelii coming back next year and how with him, the Orange are a really good offense.

Put it like this is Russell that much of a difference maker more than Paris is? To be wanting I'd assume significantly more money given Paris is currently an Iowa St commit?

I think it's simple take the difference in money, get Paris, then add that to securing a top DLineman.

Do the same thing at RB, take Derek Coopers money and get the IMG kid instead, and that money could legit probably be the difference in securing a second top DLineman AND a safety like Fitzpatrick or the Gorman kid.

Like absolutely nobody would be demanding we overpay for Cooper and Russell if they weren't local recruits, it's that simple. Given they've shown they have been looking for about any reason to go elsewhere - Especially Cooper!

I agree but I do wonder if Mario is willing to pay a premium to keep certain kids "home".
