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

[baggerbob]

Of course. Because Russell is the outlier and not the norm.

That said, we have to start with those articles with (hopefully) Russell as our first elite level recruit. After Russell signs and stars for us, others will come and eventually those articles will die away.

If Russell comes and we win 10 games with our schedule we might get in the playoffs, then he won't end up being the only one. Others will jump aboard.

Georgetown still sucks… you don’t even have FBS football.

I will tell you how petty I can be. I am going to find this asshat jalen Williams email account and send him the whatfor if we do indeed land Russell.

IDK who Jalen Williams is but he sounds like some of us Pre-Fran Era (PFE) <—copyright and patent pending

Oh, and by the way Jalen, the last president of the United States went to Syracuse Law.

It’s ok. I already sent a shot off the bow.

Well, when Russell picks us, make sure he hears the news.

Oh we shall.

I don't think he realizes SU were 10-3 and UM were 8-5 last year.

 

[orangefog]

Hey Jalen, the Jerk Store called and they’re running out of you.

There would be no might get in the playoffs. If we win 10 regular season games this year with this schedule, we will be a top 8 team for sure.

You can tell we’re relevant again when the Barry’s and Jalen’s start coming out of the woodwork.

 

[Toga]

I'm nervous in my pants.

 

[TommyA13]

I'm nervous in my pants.

Same here, but even if he doesn’t commit to us tonight his recruitment is not even close to being over

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I'm nervous in my pants.

They have antibiotic creams for that now.

Your going to smoke a turd in hell for that one Williams!

Just because people say that, doesn't make it true. He is deciding now for a reason. Doesn't mean he won't flip but if I was a betting man, and I am, I would take the school he names tonight.

 

[Biaxtar]

While it might not mean anything, Tom Loy thinks Michigan.

Same. Don’t think this is one that will drag on.

 

[Nick44]

Agree. My only hesitancy, assuming he commits to Syracuse is if Underwood has a “Vick-like” freshman year and that momentum sways him late in the cycle.

 

[StLouisCuse]

Anyone know if the announcement will be livestreamed anywhere? (Yes, I am a middle-aged man that is planning my Saturday night around watching a HS kid pick a college)

I'm actually more worried about, and this is for the entire class, we underperform by a great deal because of our schedule and kids look at us differently in Nov and Dec than they do now after a 10 win season.
