This is far too accurate, beyond the fact that when I first read it I swore so loudly that I'd imagine all of South Campus heard me, I just feel dead inside.

Because of one freshman? Lol get real

I think he is our highest rated recruit since the early 1990s. Not just any freshman. A lot of passionate fans here, and we seem to have these things happen a bit too often. We just feel cursed. I don't think anyone is overreacting. Just a gut blow and a shock to hear. No one wants to see this happen to a young student athlete.

Still an overreaction to say we’re doomed as a team because of one player that we haven’t even seen play.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Look, this sucks, and I wish him a smooth and speedy recovery.

But two things.

We rarely have an incoming freshman like him, so not having him is actually the norm.

And, historically there is a high correlation between the level of QB play we get and how good we are.

Angeli being healthy/one of the newcomers playing QB at a high level if he's not is what will make or break the season.

Its a gut wrenching injury and you gotta feel for Calvin, but if it's gonna happen better now then August or god forbid in season. You've got literally 5+ months to adjust without him.

Yup agreed. If it’s going to happen, now is the time. Maybe we can get a discount surgeon plan…

Looks like Fran gets a pass for season 3 too.

 

[IHeartSUFball]

Maybe strained it?

Big loss but the scheme is WR friendly and with a healthy Angeli they can overcome this. It made Meeks and Pena into fantastic players when they were minor contributors prior.

Looking forward to seeing who steps up and takes advantage of an unfortunate situation.

Just one guy and a freshman. Sucks but not end of world.

We have lots of WRs. Opportunity for someone else to step up.

 

[richmondcuse03]

Maybe strained it?

Sadly no.

 

[Cusefan69]

We can never have nice things

That's a defeatist attitude man. Next man up if that needs to happen.

Yea just sucks I wish him a strong recovery and he should be ready for next year.

Of course, but Fran and company brought in A LOT of talent in the WR room. I think we will still have a great passing game.

Yeah, thankfully these guys still have multiple years of eligibility left, not just this season. It’ll be interesting to see how recruiting shapes up in 2027. Maybe I overreacted last night. I’m still excited for the season, but man, this definitely sucks.

Agreed 144%.

There’s no doubt that - if this is as bad as speculated - it’s a massive bummer and a loss.

Thankfully we seem to have a TON of high upside guys in the WR room, so PB Angeli & the other QB’s will have plenty o talented guys to throw the ball to.

Here’s hoping against hope that it isn’t as bad as feared.
And that either way, the recovery is as quick and complete as possible.

LFGO!!!!

It’s understandable, it’s a big blow.

Good lord based on the first few comments I thought someone had died, one receiver injury is not going to sink the ship. This is one of those moments though where you think about donor fatigue, how much money was spent on a guy who won't even play for another year?

[UpstateSM]

I have a close friend who was at practice all weekend that told me Russell was visibly limping and seemed to be nursing a calf injury. Was still full go at practice.

Yikes if that is true and his Achilles went.

Yea the board will be having a witch hunt for Fran with the basketball decision

Did these ppl ever stop to think that part of the reason he committed was due to allowing him to play bball as well? That may have been what stopped Michigan in the 11th hour. Everybody knocking Fran for this just love to point fingers and nothing else.
