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

[JeremyCuse]

‘Cuse needs to pull a super star QB out of the portal to land this kid! No way he comes here with what was put on the field this year

Not about a portal QB. Likely Fran is on the phone already (or has been) or will be heading down to discuss in person and with more $$ to offer.

Don’t overpay this kid. Use the resources elsewhere

Tough to make definitive declarations on the whims of teenagers

Don’t overpay this kid. Use the resources elsewhere

That’s how I feel, I want him here but if we are going to really push spend, do it with a proven portal kid

If Russell goes elsewhere and we don't get Hampton, it's still a good class, great even for a 3-9 season. Hopefully to the two DTs who haven't signed don't bail. I know Vandy was in on Houston.

SU has a limit they won't exceed. They aren't gonna mortgage the entire NIL budget for Russell.

If you want to play in the waters for 4 and 5 star kids, this is what happens. Happens to even the schools with the most $. We’re just not as used to it. Sucks but it’s part of the game if you want the higher level recruits.

If that’s the case it’s not us because he would’ve just signed today. Good luck to him wherever he ends up.

100%, this stuff even happens to Bama and OSU, part of the game if you wanna play with the big boys.

Glad this stuff is out in the open now. Used to be hush-hush, backroom deals for money, cars, job for parents, etc. Now we know it’s just about cash and the top bidder usually wins.
