You’re not suppose to drink while pregnant…

I stopped at 9 so we're good. Lol

But for real, I'm a tank and her mom is here so I don't have to drive if it does happens tonight. This is my last hurrah

All they are saying is have hope. Hope is a good thing, not something to bash.

Ok, this time I mean it!

Calvin Russell, and Calvin Russell only.



Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Calvin Russell, and Calvin Russell only, is too young to drink IPAs.

Some great folks in my circle born on that date! I think July 7th is induce date if she's late

If born on the 7th I hope you consider naming the child after me, or Ringo, or Calvin Russell (Obviously.)

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

If Calvin Russel was an IPA, he would commit to Rutgers.

If Calvin Russel was an IPA, he would commit to Rutgers.

And then come to his senses, and commit to Cuse.

or my Dad

 

[kcsu]

regardless of his choice SU will be in a battle for him until signing day.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

And then come to his senses, and commit to Cuse.

That would make him a stout fellow.

Article from cuseallday:

As noted in the article, John Garcia Jr says that “The two-sport star could be leaning towards a smaller group of LSU, Michigan, Florida State and Miami ahead of a July 5 commitment. Buzz at Oregon, Florida and Syracuse has slowed down some of late, but there is still the sense that this battle is far from over despite a commitment date closing in fast.” Definitely interesting because Wiltfong said to watch Michigan and Cuse for Russell, so I guess nobody truly knows.

I genuinely think no one knows. Garcia includes miami, but for weeks now miami has believed they're out of it. I haven't heard any buzz about florida state. I hope we're not 2nd again. My money is on Michigan. Good thing is, I don't have any money.

I also hope weren’t not 2nd again, not sure how many times I can take that lol

Sloppy seconds better than nothing lol

Well we’d have to land him for that to be accurate, coming in second again for another elite WR’s recruitment wouldn’t make me too happy

Just an alternate perspective -- but I think that line of thinking is less important than it used to be, given the portal / volume of players who transfer.

Let's all remember that several years ago, we wouldn't have even been under consideration for players like this.

Would it be great to land him? Sure. But just the fact that we have a good chance speaks volumes about the future.

For sure, I just think landing arguably the highest rated recruit in your program’s history would be a really cool thing to have happen for us

I also think Michigan is going to get a WR on the 4th.

I doubt that it would take them out on Russell

Thought it was the 5th. Maybe that’s when HCFB finds out

It is July 5th, error on the author’s part as it says his decision is July 5th in the first sentence
