Class of 2026 WR Calvin Russell (FL) COMMITTED/SIGNED TO SYRACUSE (7/5/25)

[OttoinGrotto]

Still don’t like Notre Dame, but Marcus Freeman is an insanely likable guy. He’s also a complete 180 as a person compared to Brian Kelly.

Yeah, and people forget this, but Brian Kelly killed a kid, which to my knowledge Freeman has not.

Yup. And a great recruiter. I’m curious how good their top two QBs are because Steve is no slouch.

Might have less to do with Angeli, and more to do with this being a Russell Wilson / Mike Glennon situation.

 

[JarHeadJim]

He said he’s locked in with us, so hopefully this visit doesn’t change that

I think Steve was good enough to be the backup there. But naming one of the other 2 a third string would have made one decide to transfer. They most likely have a higher upside and freeman didn’t want to take that risk.

surprised nobody seems concerned here. Is Fran ok with this? Doesn't scream DART to me.

Visiting his best friend making his college debut . I’m not worried we just need to make a bowl game and I think we might even flip a couple kids.

Fran is DART enough to feel good about where stands.

 

[Todoubled23]

Got kids today dropping top 3/4 lists and another commitment WHILE already committed to a school.

It's wild out here.

Miami has never been a concern with his recruitment. Trust me on this one.

Agreed. If he ends up at a michigan game I'll get a little nervous.

 

[TommyA13]

This is an unofficial visit for him tonight right?

Correct. He's already done officials to his finalists, including Miami, save for Syracuse!

And he was there last night rooting for Toney, a friend of his. Boobie was also posting stuff about Toney. They’re all close.

 

[jgeorge322]

The kid lives in Miami. He is going to be around people connected to the program no matter what. We just need to take care of business on the field so the voices have less to chat about because the pressure will continue until he is on campus.

Any chance Toney would ever transfer here with his friends?

 

[dwilmont44]

Really don't like Miami and FSU getting big wins on the field

 

[sufandu]

... the pressure will continue until he is on campus.

Even after he is on campus.

Somebody needed to beat an SEC team. We, Va Tech, and Clemson couldn't get it done.

 

[Ttk.gman2]

We need to win some games , at least make a bowl to feel great about this class staying together.

 

[PAcuse]

Let him take all his visits. Nothing wrong with enjoying your time.
He is still coming here.

They look concerning!

 

[richmondcuse03]

They look concerning!

y'all were concerned about him back in June despite what I said. When I get concerned, I'll say so.

If people are going to be sweating every text, team slanted article that gets published or quote, then some of ya all might want to take a break for your sanity. Recommend you just enjoy we have some really great commits until ~last week of November. Starting in December and early signing is when the big ticket poaching happens. Until then just enjoy the ride.
