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

[HyattsCuse]

Don't think it's gonna be an issue moving forward.

That’s good. I finally realized there was more than one “Comstock” poster. I feel bad for 721Comstock having his good name tainted.

Hope Russell signs with ‘Cuse tomorrow!

Calvin russel attended the UNC game...that was the quietest most boring game ive ever attended and ive seen a lot of cuse games. Its hard to believe a 5 star recruit would stay committed to CUSE after witnessing multiple games like that to end the season...I really hope stays with us but football was a total disgrace last year

it's easy to say that the season has something to do with this limbo. Pure speculation, I honestly think we could be in the exact same situation right now if we were waiting to play in the ACC championship game in Charlotte. Situations changed at two schools he was seriously considering before he committed to Syracuse. Those coaching situations changing could also lead to those schools changing there offers specifically to him that may end up being more lucrative and in a different ball park than what Syracuse was in when he committed. It seemed based on yesterday press conference, Fran seemed like they are going to do whatever they can to close and I'm assuming that means to get into that ballpark to where Calvin can come here without the risk of resentment that he turned down significantly better offers the first time he faces adversity because they'll be moments of adversity wherever he goes. It's harder to deal with that adversity if you develop resentment at the place your playing. Based on the agent comments, it seems like Syracuse on an fairly even playing field with the other offers would still be the spot that he will sign. For Syracuse, I'm assuming the limit they would go for regarding Calvin is as high as they can without sacrificing quality in key portal additions at starting spots that they were planning to fill.

I just think it’s funny that I called him out for the crap he was pulling, and when I showed him the post it was crickets. Good riddance.

I will not be disappointed if we take the NIL and get a major edge rusher and a stud LB instead. CR is like the shiny toy under the tree we wouldn’t know how to operate anyway. IMHO.

 

[Rufus_13th]

I see tons of extra pages and it's all nonsense. lol. Thought there was news!

 

[Apdaly]

No info IMO is good news for cuse. The less noise there is and leaks about other schools in the last 24hrs makes me think cuse is in a good spot here. If any school thought they were getting him you would get leaks. Like before when he committed in July.

That is easier said than done though. We have a deal with this kid. I think he honors it and we will all be very happy he does. If however, he doesn't, no guarantee that we find top guys at other positions that buy in to us the way this kid has or had.

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Calvin in a hurricanes jersey at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Rivals/On3 had a positive update for Syracuse this morning on Calvin Russell.

 

[orange_in_VA]

So this is good for us?

I would assume so

 

[Ttk.gman2]

Talked about Calvin Russell, mentioned Florida, Florida state and Miami are involved. But a source close to Calvin says he thinks he will stick with Syracuse.
At the 14:42 mark is when they talk about Calvin.

 

[richard levy]

Joey Aguilar was a small school transfer I believe app state. That worked out.

Look at Diego Pavia’s road, and he will probably be in NYC for Heisman ceremony

 

[Biaxtar]

Wilfitong thinks Syracuse.

Fongbottle rocket actually.

I mean it would be very fitting for him to sign tomorrow to us.

He brought his friends who signed, there was a lot of "indecision" and "last minute" things going on before he initially committed too.

It would be genius to build the suspense, and then still sign with Syracuse. And it would make a lot of other fan bases angry too so there's that.

I don't think this is hopium. Calvin might enjoy the trolling and spotlight, and Fran knows how to make a splash in the media.

If it doesn't happen, I'll blame you now.

 

[swish7]

Looks like he was fitted for cement shoes, finally, so all is well!

As someone who spent a lot of time in the board pariah zone, its not fun. Sometimes its just an unpopular opinion and not trolling. Sometimes its trolling. IDK, but it sucks to have a ton of people basically tell you that you suck. IDK, I took some time off and tend to just scroll past now.

He gone...


edit for sarcasm font...

After believing this was a negative, I now believe this was a coordinated act by Fran and Calvin. It’s a buried story on national signing day. Doing it Friday apart from all the signing day madness, gives us the “5 star commits to Syracuse” headline and spotlight Fran likes for the program. If that’s the case it’s actually brilliant, although it caused a bunch of meltdowns by us fanatics.
