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

[Scooch]

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

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.

 

[Biaxtar]

There is a third team in the mix, and he said it in his livestream. Think this team is a major contender.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Hearing SU absolutely still in the mix, expect Brown to go all out.

Syracuse, Miami and Michigan. Michigan has been pushing hard since he committed here.

Will come down to Syracuse or Miami

I'm confused. If money is involved, are we talking about NIL or an allotment from their revenue share pool? (Or both) If NIL, don't those deals need to be approved by the accounting board? The larger the deal, the greater the chance they will say it isn't a legitimate business arrangement, I would think. What is the situation with NIL and high school recruits now? Are kids going to end up at schools and have their "promised" deals evaporate because they were never realistic?

Especially with the way this season has gone for them they need top receiver talent.

NIL, the clearinghouse is now in play but as expected teams are finding ways to circumvent.

Swim with the sharks and sleep with the fishes.

Can you say the team?

I didn't hear it on his IG live, so I'm a little scared to say it if it is not public info. But the U is a big part of it. but not the U we are thinking

 

[BronsonCuse]

Look, obviously today isn't a good development. But Francis Brown is a certified closer. Until we are officially out, I am not going to bet against Fran on the trail.

Michigan perhaps..

Yeah I read a Michigan Commit Wide Receiver wasn't signing today... I feel like a lot of moving parts going on at the moment.

Isn't there supposed to be a snitch line now?
