He was never "a third option" or "plan c". He was offered at the same time as the other two, and whichever one pledged first would be our guy. That's how highly the staff thought of him. So can we quit giving him backhanded compliments or belittling him by calling him plan c or third option?
This is the best news on the board in a while. That is big time.
He was our third option, and I don't care about star rankings when you consider this.
This kid was lined up next to some of the best in the country at his position and evaluated on the field, by professionals.
This is huge.
Congrats to the kid, that is a big honor.
Sorry but your attempt at a compliment falls really flat. Move on and focus on the now.
Congrats. But he still has to actually sign.This is the best news on the board in a while. That is big time.

This is not true but regardless great job Anthony keep choppin! I would like to see more current players and recruits incorporate the chop in on field celebrations.
Huh? How is it not true? All 3 had offers out there at the same time. His offer wasn't contingent on the other 2 turning us down.
It was
Really? Shoot, I think we all forgot that tidbit! You know, seriously, all the other 2016 recruits also have to sign, too!Congrats. But he still has to actually sign.
-------Wrong.

possibly something in between, we knew we were in second place for both JG and Haskins and decided to offer Russo with no conditions.....it is called thinking ahead
--------Guarantano was never coming here. There was a period of time, right around the spring game, when we thought we had a really good shot at Haskins, but Guarantano was never going to commit to RU.
--------Great news, loved that comment about him being the most in command of his team during the 7 on 7's. This kid is going to be good

Please share with us your source that says it was not true - since this site was reporting an offer to Anthony before the other two decided.
I like this kinda kid....just goes out and does it!! RU kinda guy !!The thing I like about this is Anthony had to earn his way in unlike others who got byes to the finals. We will never know if they truly earned it or not, but we know Anthony did. Congrats, keep up the good work, good luck at the finals and I look forward to seeing you on the banks.
