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

[TheOriginalCane]

Simply getting rid of Beard won’t solve the problem unless someone like hartline is taking his place

Those are not, nor should they ever be, the only two choices.

 

[grover]

Mario is recruiting nationally so i dont know why alot of these posters pU44ies are in a bunch behind CJ Russell. Did he trash um in recruiting? troll um?. I didnt see any of that. He sucks at basketball and football so why do folks care so much? lol

+

 

[ssvir]

why are yall coming at me about it? lol

I have stated what it is....stated the name of it...stated the parents of south florida recruit were speaking on it...s fla coaches as well. Yall could go look it up ya **** self if yall are invested. SYRACUSE 60

It aint me im not a fan of syracuse i dont care.

But its a lil confusing...Syracuse aint got no money or abag...ut EVERYONE says CJ was going to who had the big bag?. What is it .. Dame Diddy, Dame Daddy or Dame Dummy?

Mario just got beat for the kid.....it aint that serious...most dont like him as a player and want Keys out of Miss as the wr priority.

I'd like to close out the class with atleast 2 more wrs ...could be 1 from hs an 1 from the portal. Him coming off so early is good...they can focus on who they want to flip or who blows up sr szn they may have been tracking.

Going to see this more often.

Syracuse/Ga Tech/Rutgers/Iowa etc all with have the same $12-15M to spend from the revenue sharing as Miami, UGA, Bama, etc so logically there are going to be 4 & 5* kids that get offered stupid $ from teams that have a low payroll and a lot to spend.

Going to be the new normal.

Yep Sharpe a 6’1 corner definitely could've played here, maybe we’ll get him out the portal in December. Cox can definitely play here and we took a flyer on Simpson over the 300 pounder that came out last year, which cancels out. I really don’t give a **** about rankings, my point is that they are a loaded moving forward with potentially one of the best quarterbacks in the nation. Cut the shhhh and fix the problem at the west! J'Vari Flowers was a big deal going to the gayturds also. Ring the Bell there is a problem on 71st, fix it Now, make sure Teddy is Good!
Jorday Campbell just transferred in, he was already committed let him suit up before we call him a Bull, this is his third high school, he may be a Spartan in August.

What a load of bull****. Kinda like Northwestern from 2022-2025.

Oh lord, we reeeeeally need Jamari Sharpe, huh? That...PRODUCTION...

You're just full of **** when you claim that certain guys "could play here". Like a 5'11" 165 pound safety. Get the **** out of here with that bull****.

Nobody cares whether YOU "give a **** about rankings". We were never gonna take any of the guys you are jizzing over, except for Flowers.

And cut the crap about "Campbell just transferred in", it certainly isn't stopping people like you from moaning and groaning over how we lost JJ, who also has never played a game for Northwestern.

Hey, let's just sign all the midgets in SoFla, so we can say that we have more SoFla players. Get Jroc on the phone....

It's all good. I've never said that you don't have info. But if all these "parents of South Florida recruits were speaking on it", then you have to question their intelligence and insight. As PT Barnum said, there's a sucker born every minute. In SoFla, it appears to be every second.

If parents are falling for Fran Brown's one year as a head coach and all these lofty promises that he cannot and will not ever keep, that's up to them. I can't stop them from making that mistake.

I agree with you on what our goals should be. But let's not pretend that Fran Brown's sales pitch has a snowball's chance in **** of ever happening.

Do you know what the odds are Lennear Reclassifies, and if he likes us or will just be a repeat of Russell.

 

[Alex_Dynamix]

Those are not, nor should they ever be, the only two choices.

They aren't the only two options at all, my point is just replacing Beard alone won't immediately change our fortunes in landing coveted 5 star WRs unless you're bringing in a Hartline/Jamarcus Shepard level WR coach. Actually developing the Blue Chips we currently have into TOP draft picks is what will help us the most in my opinon.

 

[DadeBaby]

He was a four star composite. Sorry it doesn't fit your narrative.

I didn't say you were trying to downgrade Kam. I said you're not telling the truth. I gave proof, then you either made a lame attempt to gaslight me or you are the one with eye issues. Just to be REALLY clear here, Kam was a 3 star according to 247. He was a composite 4 star. I provided you with the "evidence" in my last reply (look toward the bottom of the screen shot, under the 247 three star) and your rebuttal is to try to pull the light off your lying by suggesting that my eyes don't see. I'm doing my best to keep this semi-polite because my wife tells me I need to be nicer. If you need an explanation of what the composite ranking is, ask. It's a better look.

Just to be clear. I don't have any issue with your OPINION that we need to recruit MNW. I am 100% calling you out for the false information you're sharing in order to try and bolster your position. I'm not sure why you keep fighting me on this nor why you keep moving the target.... first it was the Indiana kid and Thomas. Now it's all the 3 stars MNW has put in the league recently. I got it, you love MNW. Cool. Through the years they have indeed put out quite a bit of talent. None of that - none - applies to what we are talking about as it pertains to the recent recruits they've had that have gone elsewhere.

You don’t have to be polite, I think you crazy *** **** coming on here picking a fake beef with me about a three star, “composite” 4 star dude anyway!
You losing it B!
You know this texting thing is a funny way of expression!
I don’t love to argue about nonsense, you got me! Kam was a 3 star, composite 4 star, whatever the **** that means!
An I don’t care about the Bulls, maybe my back and forth with Jose Sausagehead implies that, but I don’t, I’m just a Kidd from the Crib and I see it for what it is and their clearly is a problem. I really hate how our fanbase is always get fake gorilla when things swing the other way instead of keeping it real!

You cracked your phone when you typed that shhhh. What “returning” cornerback has better numbers than Sharpe?
How big is the broke leg safety we signed from central last cycle?
I’ll wait……
At least Cox has Elite speed and comes from Elite pedigree….
Tell me about the broke leg kid? What’s his special trait?

 

[theibisrules]

Y'all had to know he was going elsewhere, 5 star from sfla and his star status NEVER wavered....come on son!

Keep typing

 

[canecrazy23]

What TrumpyCane finds funny is Fran Brown is going to take the first big job he gets offered and ditch all those kids hes preaching to

I agree. Although he's going to have a rough year this year. He doesn't have a QB anymore. LOL

And NO Ricky Collins is not going to save the day.

You have a misunderstanding of what is going on.

With all of the recruiting ability that we already have on staff, replacing Beard will be addition by whiny subtraction. You don't need someone on the Hartline level. You need a good young coach who has developed a few guys, not a miles-long list.

You are so full of ****, as you move the goalposts and narrow the terms in order to create a bizarre scenario where you can actually win an argument that Miami should be signing low 3-star recruits. This **** is wild.

"Returning" cornerback? Sure, you want to ignore the transfers. Fine. OJ Frederique has the equivalent numbers in 1 year to Sharpe's 2 years. And Damari Brown had comparable 2023 numbers in 7 games (compared to Sharpe's 11 games), while Damari was only able to play in 2 games in 2024 due to injury. So, what's that, I've named two already who are as productive as Sharpe BUT WERE HIGHER RATED RECRUITS. And that's before I've even mentioned the transfers.

If Sharpe wanted to come back to Miami so bad, given that his uncle is Glenn, it doesn't seem like that connection would have been hard to make 6 months ago. And yet...crickets... Instead, we just took a bunch of multi-year transfer CBs and are recruiting HS well too, but you're yapping about getting Sharpe in the Portal six months from now. The bullcrap that you invent is just crazy. Think about this, you are acting as if a 3-star guy with 23 tackles, 12 assists, and 1 INT in 2 years is somehow going to elevate Miami's defensive back room? OK...

Now you have a chubby for Tywan Cox and are trying to insult Amari Wallace because he got hurt during an "illegal" scrimmage (as his parents called it in the lawsuit). What's Amari Wallace's special trait? HAVING MORE TALENT THAN TYWAN COX, that's his special trait. Yeah, Tywan's father is Torrie and he ran track and he went to your favorite high school. THEN WHY DIDN'T HE HAVE BETTER PRODUCTION AND GET RANKED HIGHER? Yeah, yeah, you don't care about the rankings. This is the part that you can't comprehend, even if Wallace and Cox are roughly the same size, ONE GUY WAS RANKED 500-600 SPOTS HIGHER PRE-INJURY. That's why you take Wallace. All other things (like size) being equal, YOU TAKE THE MORE TALENTED GUY.

Instead, you are arguing for us to take a Top 800 guy...because his father...and because track...and because Northwestern...meanwhile, how did Ray Lewis's son work out? And last I recall, Mark Pope was fast too. And I remember the day when we signed 7 Northwestern players at once and didn't even get the most successful NW kid in that class.

The fact is, Amari Wallace committed to Miami BEFORE he was injured. Should we have dropped him? Please, tell me WHICH DEFENSIVE BACK that Miami should NOT have taken in order to sign 3-star Number 789 ranked recruit Tywan Cox?

4-star Bryce Fitzgerald, ranked #138
4-star Jaboree Antoine, ranked # 184
4-star Chris Ewald, ranked #242
4-star Amari "broke leg" Wallace, ranked #403

By your logic, Miami should turn itself into 3-Star U and sign a bunch of Northwestern players ranked from the 700s to the 2000s just because they went to Northwestern, so that hopefully in the future we can sign kids like JJ who have just barely transferred into Northwestern and haven't even played a game at Northwestern yet.

Incredibly bizarre.

For the record, let's observe Amari Wallace's ratings decline from AFTER his 2023 season ended, through his injury, and including the senior year when he was unable to play. In the months leading up to his injury, based on his rating, Amari Wallace would have been ranked anywhere from 129th best overall to 310th best overall, so he lost 100 spots due to his injury alone. Yet you are choosing to mock him as "broke leg" as if we should have dumped him after his injury. So, yeah, I'm going to take an injured 4-star Top 300 kid over a 3-star recruit ranked #789, no matter who his father is.

 

[HardCane]

Do you know what the odds are Lennear Reclassifies, and if he likes us or will just be a repeat of Russell.

Not great. Same goes for Wright who could be on JJ's level or better. They say he is a better than JJ was when JJ was in 10th grade. FSU legacy. Destroying elite seniors.

I agree that we dont need Hartline level, Just somebody who can connect w/ recruits n turns guys we DO land into productive NFL players consistently. We'll start winning more of those Keys/Smith types with better NFL representation especially w/ the NIL we have.

Fran Brown is a recruiter hes done it pretty well every where he goes.

Its sell sell sell...

Not sure.

Lennear is like 160 pounds not sure why folks would want him to reclassify up.

He appears to have big work ethic from what i see.

I would hope he would stay in his class but who knows.

Dude, the four guys you listed would've been way better had they all gone to MNW. Fitzgerald, Antoine, Ewald and Wallace - all five star equivalents if they were Bulls.

Also, and this may be a simple clerical error on your part, I think Cox's first name was misspelled. I believe it's IWANT COX, not TYWAN. To be clear, he may also choose to include his full hyphenated last name - IWANT MOORE-COX.

Have a nice day.

Understandable. It's just sad that he is sell sell selling a bunch of BS that he can't and won't deliver, and that some people fall for that.

If he was selling a Syracuse turnaround on the field, sure, maybe some people believe in his vision. But post-graduation jobs and whatnot is just a load of garbage for a Year 2 head coach to promise.
