The Miami Hurricanes are looking to end the misery of losing elite skill position talents from South Florida, and one of their main targets is five-star WR Calvin Russell. A Miami Northwestern product, the 6-foot-5 pass catcher also picked up an offer on the court from Jai Lucas as Miami looks to pull all the strings to keep him home. This will be a battle all the way until his July 5th commitment date and beyond, and I was able to catch up with him following his official...

Basic talking points from CR , Maybe he saw different component to the program
but I doubt anything is mind blowing
discoveries..

He’s just playing everything too close to vest to my liking. I believe he’ll be a Canes, but this recruiting battle will go down to December..

I can’t call him a headache because he hasn’t done anything crazy or led the program on. Like many said this will go down to the end. So let’s just buckle up for the ride. (PAUSE)

Colossal failure if he isn’t a Cane.

You realize sometimes kids just want to go away for school. Sometimes it doesn’t matter what Miami can do

All of those are reasons why if he doesn't come here it literally means it wasn't a failure imo. Like what else would you want staff to do, it's not like they're ignoring dude lol.

In this case, it’s not a “colossal” failure when certain members in his camp are looking for every reason not to come to Miami. This is one of the weirdest recruitments Miami has seen in a while. I understand Miami dropped the ball earlier in the year but Miami has done all they can to make him feel like a top priority. Some local people have unrealistic expectations from Miami and are impossible to please.

Mom being in the Miami HOF means absolutely nothing in this situation and is arguably hurting our cause.

KB has a friendship with mom yet didn’t even play a major role in these weekends activities. There is definitely a disconnection here between both parties. KB deserves criticism if this doesn’t work out.

What does basketball have anything to do with this? If anything, only proves he’s not serious enough about football.

If he comes then great, but if he doesn’t, i don’t think it’ll be as “colossal” as some think, as long as we hit on others.

I'm with you on this one. Maybe he really doesn't wants to come. If that's the case . We tried nothing more we can do. I don't consider it a failure at all. With all the other top targets at that position. We hit on 2 or 3 of those we good 👍

I mean sure. But also you can't force a kid to pick us lol. If Russell Picked LSU and we got Keys, nobody would be calling it a colossal failure imo. So clearly there is some amount of grey to it being a win/fail...
