2026 Calvin Russell III

CR is also 6’5. I wouldn’t categorize him as “tiny”.

If Lopez ends up in this class it’s because we missed on a flip but I’m not confident at all with that take. Lopez camp not happy how he’s not prioritized more.

I think we take 4-5 WR’s in this class. You won’t find many rooms better in this class.

Who are your top 5 (realistic) guys? I assume CR, Robinson, Wingo but who after that? Keys is a longshot, imo. Spafford?

I imagine the board stacks something like this:
Tier 1: Keys / Russell
Tier 2: Vance Spafford / Zion Robinson / Wingo / Jase Matthews / Brayden Robinson / Messiah Hampton / Jayden Petit / Ethan Feaster
Tier 3: Jasen Lopez / Larry Miles / Chris Stewart / Jabari Brady / Brandon Bennett /

Hope I'm wrong, but I get the feeling he picks a basketball school like NC or Florida. It seems like he likes basketball more than football.

Couldn't help but laugh at UF being called a basketball school. Their fans would argue that even after winning the Natty
 
From @gogeta4 OP in the Battle Miami thread

Andrew Ivins- Jeremiah Smith was the wide receiver that everyone wanted to pull out of South Florida last cycle. Do not be surprised if Russell creates a similar type of madness because he too has a chance to be pretty special. A legit two-sport standout with multiple basketball offers (including one from last year’s Final Four darling FAU)
He ain’t Jeremiah by those highlights being chased down. They need to stop comparing people to him that’s a once in a 10 year prospect type of thing

would take Messiah and Vance over Russell

Having the same talent isnt' necessarily equal as having the same type of recruitment. He's the best WR in South Florida this recruiting cycle according to the industry like JJ was. That's all Ivins is saying from that quote.

Elaborate. Not confident it will happen? Or not confident that Lopez will be there? I assume you are referring to sunshine committed to UGA.

I also think if Brayden Robinson comes on board, that bumps Lopez out. JMO.
Its the Cali kid over Lopez

CR shoulders are as wide as his ears. Dude will need a ton of S&C but if he really is up to 190ish already that’s a very good sign
