Calvin Russell Official / Out Indefinitely

[CbusCuse]

One...FREAKING year please...
If we are ever allowed to have nice things I think it's one of the signs of the apocolypse

Well I kind of feel like the apocalypse is coming soon, so the silver lining I guess could be that we have nice things soon.

Injuries are part of the game. They’re going to happen. As we all learned with Angeli last year. Thankfully we have depth at WR (and at QB thank god), so while I really was excited to see him this year, it’s not the end of the world.

That last part isn’t exactly true. He and his Mom had apprehensions about playing this year. They felt getting acclimated to school and working out with the team was an option for year 1, but Fran pushed him to play.

Come on man that's freaking ridiculous And you actually put it on a board

Thought Calvin said he questioned playing basketball but he said Fran encouraged him to play.

One guy produced at the MAC , the other guy didn’t produce at Georgia. So again your logic makes 0 sense

Cappy has been on ignore for months

I can’t believe a couple posters in here aren’t able to grasp the concept that MAYBE, just maybe Weaver might have similar traits to Meeks.

Doesn’t matter what school they were previously committed to.

Basketball is not the problem here. In fact that’s the kind of movement we should do more of. And football teams need to do less of other movements

Rather get a guy wno was recruited by a national championship program than a guy who was mediocre in the MAC. Funny to me that every guy we get from a lower level program is underrated, while a similar player recruited by say Pitt or Duke is laughed at. Fans are funny people.

Some people are idiots, the only time a single injury has derailed us is QB injury. Not saying this doesn’t matter but again, true freshmen WRs, 5 star included, don’t usually make a major impact. I feel bad for Calvin, the team will be ok if Angeli is ok and/or Odom is the real deal

It is what it is. You have to move on. Next man up. The WR room has multiple players with limited experience, very good players. Coach them up, get them in a position to succeed and all will be good. Too much negativity all the time. Fran will have them ready. Oh. The sun will come up tomorrow.

How about instead of throwing shade on a player we wait until the season to see how they play. No one knows how any of the players will do until the season. Losing Russel sucks but he was not going to make or brake the season. Fans are on edge from last season but need to relax it’s only April 1st. A lot can change in the next 4 or 5 months.

Do you understand that it has worked and failed both ways? Let the coaches evaluate the players and just admit that you haven't got a clue how much a prospective player will contribute.

Already having surgery

Thought it would be quick. Probably the same surgeon that did Steve’s surgery.

Late to the party. I know there usually aren’t any specifics released for….reasons, but do we know what the injury is?

His leg is shaved below the knee, and I can’t think of an ankle injury with a recovery time that would exclude him from the season (even compound fractures). So, this is an Achilles tear, yes?

Ankle on the right looks wrapped so possible Achilles.

Gill had 570 yards as option #4 and JRS had a down year in 2024 from injury but had 729 yards his sophomore year, Johnny cook was a former 5 star. Not exactly a bunch of slouches there who had not played at the P5 level

Cook did not play here in 2024. That was Frans first year, and a very successful one at both QB and WR. The receivers in 24 were Pena, Meeks, et al.

 

[Fan Always]

Yes

Wow…feel so bad for him. So unfortunate and unlucky that we would have 2 players back to back with Achilles tears. What are the chances of that?!

Please don’t rush him back
