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

[Cusester]

I'm wondering if Franklin is making a push for Calvin. He had a relationship with him from his ped state days.

 

[Cusester]

There were quotes from those guys. Good lord

Justin had his portal paperwork all filled out.

You need to take a few days off Comstock.

Like most fans this year in the Dome, you skipped the 2nd half. Angeli has a long road to full recovery. Are we banking next year on his achilles being 100% by the first game?

If he's not the play then we probably aren't going to have any receivers left because no QB who is good enough to be QB1 is coming here to possibly end up being QB2.

Angeli says he'll be ready by August training camp.

We open with New Hampshire.

We’re an early 6 pt dog. ……… couldn’t resist , I’m still on the FB wagon ….at this point.

This just sucks, and to me it’s a matter of what we showed on the field this year and now has given some top recruits to pause on our momentum. I am nervous to hear about all the other WRs that are also leaving if that’s true which would also suck

We will be fine we just signed a 4 star also gill is coming back and I believe Calvin will sign I could be wrong though:

 

[Surfan06001]

I might be a moron (lol might) but I think he signs with Cuse still.

Agree, my only point is on how we finished this season. You can't say that doesn't have some kind of effect on things. All this said, I hate what is happening with coaching. No matter what you pay a coach the big boys will just buy them out, but worse than that is what happens to teams like Ole Miss, to be a CFB playoff team? This is not new, and Karma will catch up to LSU again, remember it was Kelly who left an undefeated Cincinnati team. The almighty buck destroys loyalty and respect from these guys. I'll throw DART out there, should Fran expect this from players if one day he drops us for greener pastures? At least there is only 1 open portal now but this needs to be later and I believe after the final signing period for the class is done.

Kelly left Cincinnati 16 years ago. I don’t think any Karma from that is affecting LSU.

 

[dasher]

I think so too. If I had to bet, I would take Syracuse against the field. But, 18 year old kids, you never know.

 

[CanadianSU]

Remember the brown quote about Pena and money for a receiver. That’s my take on this. Hope he comes, and I’m not coping (yet).

This isn’t life or death for the program. Lots more important things.

 

[dollarbill44]

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

Yeah, except that they still get 3 or 7 that sign and only one that flips.

He will be ready well before then.

Why are we so worried about an injury that's pretty common now? Rodgers came back within months and he was in his late 30s.

Angeli will be fine.

 

[Rufus_13th]

If he comes - great,

If he doesn't - that money can be used for the portal instead.

Not necessarily. Depends who is putting up the money.

 

[dollarbill44]

Ross expected to enter the portal, I've heard Cook and potentially one more Wr

Well, I've been less than impressed with Cook this year. But, not just him. I saw an increasing lack of effort from multiple WRs, with their routes, going after 50/50 balls, reaching a little farther on deep balls, etc.

It isnt rare but, it still isn't common.

Our 10-3 record could easily have been 11-2 or even 12-1 if not for the Stanford collapse, the Pitt no‑show and the BC meltdown.

Dude, just stop.

Cook has been very explosive look what he did with a competent quarterback.

 

[JRHEETER]

I can promise you, he’s trolling U of Miami.

Michigan is the one to watch here if any

We had entire halves where we didn't throw the ball beyond the line of scrimmage. Not gonna kill the WRs if they got frustrated.
