Just saw a piece on Twitter from Scout saying Russo was impressive today. It lists 6 day one standouts and he was one. He was the only QB we recruited that was mentioned.

Russo Strong day 1
- Thread starter RUtix4me

Watched this ESPN Spreecast and no mention of Russo. Haskins got lots of love. JG got a mention as well.

Similar praise from 247.
Barton Simmons, director of scouting for the site, tweeted that Russo is "growing on me alot".
He links a message board post he writes, and says the 3 biggest standouts from this morning are Russo, Jett Duffey (Texas Tech Commit) and Jarrett Guarantano.
Nice praise!

Here's some snippets from The Oregonian:
"Pair of 3-star passers getting some buzz from analysts on sidelines: #MichiganState commit @Siah_10 and #Rutgers commit @Anthony_Russo15."
"Elite 11: Top player was #FSU commit Malik Henry, but Dwayne Haskins Jr., Shea Patterson solid: oregonlive.com/recruiting/ind… #Terps #HottyToddy"
"Elite 11: FSU commit Malik Henry (@malik_henry16) , Maryland pledge Dwayne Haskins Jr. (@dh_simba7) shine early s.oregonlive.com/6rTVmAG"
"Ole Miss commit Shea Patterson (@SheaPatterson_1), Vols pledge Jarrett Guaratano (@Guarantano18) look crisp early: s.oregonlive.com/6rTVmAG"
"Malik Henry Shea Patterson Dwayne Haskins Jr. + Jarrett Guarantano great early (@malik_henry16, @dh_simba7, @SheaPatterson_1, @Guarantano18)"
"Could make good argument #Vols have two best QBs at #Elite11. Current QB Joshua Dobbs looks great & pledge Jarrett Guarantano spinning it."
Andrew Nemec | The Oregonian/OregonLive 49 minutes ago
"Brandon Peters looked really sound in the limited time I saw him, but I didn't get to see him as much as others. Clearly, he also did quite well this morning.
Still, Henry, Patterson, Guarantano and Haskins Jr. were the stars of the morning."

I'm starting to feel like we made out like a bandit with Russo.
Likewise. watching him on interviews, kid seems humble but also a fun kid to be around who is just enjoying the process and taking full advantage of this opportunity, good for him. keep it going AR
Win, lose or draw, one thing is for certain. AR is one of the elite QB recruits in this class and is proving that he fits in with the best of the best.
2 star?If he's a 2 star,most other QB's are zero stars.
Afternoon session started at 4pm local time. Will try to post comments as they come in to the Oregonian. Hope AR has productive session . Haskins and JG have received a lot of praise but they came in highly touted. AR has to be that much better to make an impression .
I too am psyched about Russo, I think the stars are aligned where we have a QB that everyone can get behind, but isn't coming in as a savior and will have to deal with the Savagesque pressure. I for one hope his ranking remains low and he comes here with lots to prove and a ton of support.
Here's a wrap up on Day 1. Russo is mentioned as having a good day.See next to last sentence.

I'd say the 247 article is giving very high praise. Sounds like most of the guys are simply confirming what people already knew about them as prospects and their place in the pecking order, while AR is potentially moving up the board and leap frogging guys. Best of luck kid.
Just the fact AR is there competing and will be playing at RU is a testament to our coach's ability to spot talent.
What do the current college players do at the Elite 11/Opening? Are they there to just camp and work on things? Tutor the current recruits?

Suppose it might be possible that some of the other recruiting targets who are out at this event might take notice?????
and maybe they get the same sense of a guy who 'exudes leadership and inspires confidence' - that Trent Dilfer highlighted in his conversations about Russo?

'Twas a typo, of course....dud not see Anthony on the list at first glance....the question is thus answered
That's what I've heard. Didn't play well against tough opponents last season but doing very well in camps. Seems to have improved.
Only started last year, on a run first team, hard to rate a QB who is not given many chances to pass, plus many of the raters consider who has offered the kid when giving out stars
He was pretty damn good on the field. His stats blow away Garantano's, for starters.
Correct! I am pretty sure he will finish HS ranked higher than 3 stars, if anyone is worried.
And how did JG perform on the field? His career numbers: 55% completions, 12 TD, 13 INT, 48 yards per game. But he really shined in the big games . Led team to 44-7 loss to Paramus Cathohlic, and 49-20 and 31-14 losses to St. Peters. But he really put on a show in BC's 10-3 win over Bosco and 14-10 win over St. Edwards of Ohio.
Hers' some on-site twitter comments from the Oregonian as Russo performs his reps this morning (in reverse chronological order; last throw first):
"Russo nearly picked over the middle "instagram.com/p/42Dm6XIXCU/
"Russo goes short again. Dilfer says he missed a read. Positive yards and not INT though"
"Anthony Russo another short toss. This one a TD"
"Russo marching team down the field, leading WRs to open space"
"Anthony Russo with a nice swing pass but dropped"
"Rutgers commit Anthony Russo is having a great week so far. Definitely expect his star rating to rise. Acts and plays like he belongs."

Never said anything about JG and have never seen him play or seen his statistics.

My guess is they don't want to embarrass someone by placing them last.
Yep, that pretty much nailed it. Because he only started last year, many of the other 2016 QB's had already had a lot of exposure.
