Calvin Russell Official / Out Indefinitely

[Ttk.gman2]

What other options do we have in our situation though?

Nothing

 

[Reyes39]

Dude calm down he has over 17 months til 2027 season to be ready. He has plenty of time to recover he will bounce back from this.

This is great and I have no doubt he'll be back at 100%...but what about me? What percentage will I be at?!

100

We seem to be having a achillies issue. need to get off turf.

Hardwood is out of the question too (ie: Haliburton)

nothing screams WR 1 like 640 yards and 1 TD in the MAC

What was Jackson Meeks production the year before here?

If you want to stake the season on a “maybe they’ll be Jackson Meeks” then so be it, I would’ve liked a little more sure thing after a disaster season

 

[GoSU96]

Devastating loss for the team. Football is a ridiculous sport, it’s become entirely about being lucky enough to not have catastrophic injuries ruin your season.

That’s been true forever. Unless you have top 5% depth, you need to avoid losing starters.

The whole WR unit in 2024 brought almost zero prior year production into the season.

Your horrible take streak continues.

Cole is plenty capable of putting up numbers and I believe he will play a lot. Heard he’s doing really well in spring from a few different people close to the program.

 

[GoSU96]

Angeli is going to be a huge resource in this recovery.

He tore his Achilles?

 

[GoSU96]

Well that sucks.

 

[GoSU96]

The time honored tradition on this board. “Depth at WR”.

24 tons of depth. Last year plenty of guys, no one who could get them the ball.

 

[jgeorge322]

This sucks but one thing I really hope - we have NIL insurance and can use this money to bring in some new guys. Probably best it happens now then right before the season.

Get well Calvin.

Huh?

Cole is def not the athlete of Russell. Hope hes good but aint no 5 star athlete.

Did Meeks play in the MAC, I forget?

 

[Chip]

Every six years we can have nice things.

Clear your calendars for 2030.

Playing and a producing at lower level doesn’t mean you can’t do the same at a higher level? Your logic makes 0 Sense

There have been more seasons in the last 40 years than not where WR isn’t a problem

 

[OrangeCrush22]

We can never catch a break. Hopefully he isn’t just looking to bail

steve’s achilles was on grass if i’m not mistaken

 

[Tony DeFranco]

Guy that works for me played at Northwestern - goes to all there games - says Russell is better than Jeremiah Smith - this is a monstrous loss - is he out for the season?

 

[tptcuse]

I am baffled by how people can downplay this injury. It is a big deal from a football standpoint and maybe more importantly, from a recruiting standpoint. I think most of us were hoping that this five star recruit would be immediately successful, which would lead other 5 stars to include us in their lists, and on and on. I hope it is me that is overreacting and that the others here are correct.
