Message: [QUOTE="Libero2, post: 5448422, member: 2812"] This is exactly the kind of thing I am holding out on. Fran loves this kid (and his talent is undeniable) but from all accounts, it's not just because he is a great player, but because he is the exact type of person Fran wants to work with. Fran is a special dude, and he builds special relationships. People on the board know I want Russell more than any other recruit in the 26 class. I have no insider connections, and likely never will. But if there was one kid I expect Fran to pull some magic with, it's this kid that he has had a great relationship with for years, and that has many reasons to love being Orange. Will it happen, no clue. But Richmond certainly thinks we are positioned well. My fingers are crossed that he is absolutely right and July 5th goes our way. Heck maybe he wants to do an OV in the fall and be 'the guy' helping recruit the last guys we are hunting to be Orange after a big time win in the dome. [/QUOTE]
