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

You think CIS gets an A for the effort of trying to understand nuance?

:ROFLMAO:

You have a lot more faith on that point than I do...

You are one of the good ones, you do make the effort, you do seek the information. Many prefer to be spoonfed oversimplifications.
I don’t understand can you simply if? Preferably in airplane or choo-choo train form? Please. And thank you.

Please don't do that to yourself, this kid OR ANYONE ELSE... I wouldn't care what anyone says. Randy was 1 of 1. Not an insult to this kid. But other than the fact he's tall and plays multiple sports, they have nothing in common. Randy is the scariest receiver in the HISTORY of this game & honestly it ain't even close(which says a lot).
Please say it louder for the people in the back.

DO. NOT. COMPARE. HS RECRUITS. TO. ALL-TIME. GREATS.

Are people on the basketball board comparing our Bball recruits to Jordan?

they buggin with Randy Moss sh
 
You sure? Not saying you're wrong. It's just that I've never felt good about Russell picking Miami. It's likely the fact that he is a 5 star local WR and we don't exactly have a great track record when it comes to them. I really want Russell in this class. He's a bit raw but he has great tools and I'm confident in Beard's ability to develop him.
He’s a bit raw huh? BIG PAUSE

can't believe it idris elba GIF

Funny you should bring up Jordan, because on the court I see Russell as more of a LeBron clone. Has all the same attributes.

That one catch he made against Miami in the old Orange Bowl, good lord. The pass was obviously going out of bounds...until he stuck out his looooong arm and just pulled it back into the field of play...
Yep, 6’5” 240 with that catch radius was 1of1, and ran a 4.3 in someone else’s shoes at combine just because.

THIS is the scariest WR that has ever played the game
Not even close. Like I just said I won't argue if people put him second or anywhere inside top 6. But Randy Moss was a whole different level of freak. Nothing I've ever seen is even similar to him. Which says a whole lot. What separated Megatron from other receivers was his build and how he was utilized. Wasn't nothing unique to him outside of his build. Several tight ends I can think of were basically the same player from a skills set and intangibles perspective. What separated him from them was the fact he was a receiver and they were tight ends. Other than the positions they were virtually identical. Randy Moss has ZERO clones. You can't run a 4.2 and change with a 47 inch vert, have mitts for hands like stick em, be that physical and that competitive ALL WHILE WORKING THAT HARD and not be the undisputed goat at that position. No disrespect meant to Calvin or several others just behind him. But #1 ain't got no dispute.

I wasn’t saying that’s what he is or will be. I was just comparing the way they move with the ball in hand. When I saw the way he ran from the quarterback position, the Moss screen pass was the first thing that came to mind, so stated it.

If anyone wants to take what I said for anything more than that, that’s their issue. I feel you, though. A lot of mother****ers have a hard time comprehending English. They try to put unrealistic expectations on these kids.
