Prayers for a speedy and complete recovery.

I won't. Letting him play hoops was part of why he signed with SU. It seems that maybe it could've waited until next year but kids don't want to wait for anything.

Yep anyone who criticizes Fran for letting Calvin play both sports is a fool. It helped him come here and without Fran we had zero shot of ever getting him. Just terrible. We have talent at WR but it’s young, Calvin is young of course but crazy talented. I’m not tossing the season out by any means, I feel terrible for the young man

 

[djorange1989]

It sucks, no doubt about it. But we'll see if having a quarterback who can actually pass will elevate the talent of the other receivers.

Yep. Of course we want our 5 star kid out there but true freshmen WRs often don’t make big impacts. At least that is how I'm rationalizing this

Also, the injury has nothing to do with him playing basketball. It actually mitigates the risk being a multi sport athlete.

God laughs at our plans.

He can use this year to get bigger and stronger, study the game, and really lock in on his footwork. By the time he comes back next year, he could be an even more polished and technical player. I’m not saying this is a good thing at all, but I’m just trying to look at it with a glass-half-full mindset.

That's not how we do it here.

Rumors on X going around about a major injury that happened during camp. Any truth to this?

Edit: Apparently they’re saying Calvin Russell tore his achilles

 

[cuseguy]

It’s being discussed on the spring practice thread. It’s Russell.

Why does God hate us

It’s being discussed on the spring practice thread. It’s Russell.

I don't see this anywhere but here. What is the thread title?

It was transferred into here

Your post was been moved to the main thread.

Turf. Why does it matter? We play on turf.

People saying this is the “worst possible scenario”…I mean yeah, for Calvin but for the team? I’d think losing AD or Samuel or Angeli would be a bigger nightmare. It’s awful, and it would have been awesome to watch him this year but by no means moves the needle in the w/l category significantly.

Is this information verified?

 

[phsyra]

Its pretty devastating...I hope he recovers and stays at Cuse.

IMO no way he would leave Syracuse especially after a major injury like this.

 

[cuseguy]

Where is he going? He’s facing almost a year of recovery.

Tough injury. Our WR room is good but not great.

 

[CbusCuse]

Come on….double and triple checked the calendar hoping this was some sick day or two later type of news. WTH.

 

[Orangezoo]

Brutal. Never want to see this- maybe the only thing to be grateful for is it happened in the spring so there is time to figure things out for the staff vs having it happen in fall camp. Still what a massive blow…

 

[NineOneSeven]

One of the worst injuries to have. Brutal brutal for him.
