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

Per Wiltfong “Michigan and Syracuse are the 2 schools to watch for Calvin Russell

I'm 12 beers deep. I feel confident with Russell but also understand recruiting never ends until they sign and even after that nowadays

12?!?!? If they’re Coors Light, then go change your tampon and then come back. They definitely aren’t IPAs. 12 of what?

Apparently in the VIP article but the public tweet names 5 others schools not including us lol

And people were worried we were out of it months and months ago...

For the love off all that is holy Fran, please reel in Russell.

The recruiting site nonsense played a large part in that.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Those cute stories before NIL.

Back then it was a briefcase of cash just for signing your name. The money game has been around for a long, long time. Now that it is in the light of day, people don’t like it.

IPAs are a plague.

I know nothing, but just being positive.

 

[wfschrec]

What number will he wear at SU?

Give him 8!

 

[Cusester]

The first wide receiver to wear 44?

(or will Demetres have it next year?)

I've re-named it: Fomb Bong!!!!!

The one thing I find weird is how active Calvin was talking about coach Fran the past 8 months and Cuse. You don’t official visit every other school in your top 8 besides one for no reason. Which does beg to reason maybe him and coach Fran have a plan to shock everyone. Or maybe he has seen enough and is all in because of Coach Fran not the school like he is with the other 7 schools.

It’s been talked about several times that Calvin is likely taking his official to Cuse in the fall.


If he does commit, probably is to try and get other big name recruits to commit as well.

Nothing is set in stone, but I’m feeling pretty good here.

Especially after some stuff came out from the Michigan insiders

What came out from the Michigan insiders?

It’s vip info, but it was really down to Cuse and Michigan with Miami a distant third

Or it’s just down to Cuse. Miami hasn’t been a contender here for a while.

Interesting, if it’s vip on 24/7 i must’ve just missed the article.

 

[cusefan88]

Or it’s been down to just Cuse for a while

I hope your info stays good because it would mean Russell pulled an elaborate WWF esque work on the recruiting sites.

i don’t think anything has been elaborate or on purpose. Some processes are just quieter and if he’s not saying anything, boosters at other programs fill in the gaps. Took Miami a while to realize where they were really in the process too. And then they started saying it was someone other than Cuse because they didn’t want to lose to us.

Demetres Samuel could (sort of) be our first 44 this decade/century/millennium...
Give him #4 for both Offense and Defense: 44! (Well, again...sort of).

Rerouting...now back to Calvin Russell

That makes more sense.
