Russo Decommitted
- Thread starter RUtix4me
- Start date
Didn't even mention Temple lol. But now that you bring it up, yes, Rutgers is a better program than Temple lol
you're a bigger jerk off than I thought and I didn't think that was possible
He committed to a team playing a pro style offense, with the coaching change that is no longer the case.
Here's a QB that I'd be perfectly happy to get. He committed to Syracuse, but Rutgers and Minnesota seem to be among those going hard. He's 5A player of the year in Louisiana, but Tulane and LSU didn't offer.
Not prototype size, but he's got mobility and the mind - good grades....Harvard wants him too.

Meh, don't need no stinkin' fancy recruits. There's over 30k students on campus. I'm sure somebody knows how to throw a football around.
My honest first comment on Russo to a friend when he committed was that he throws a beautiful ball but the only way he could be less mobile was that if he actually grew roots. He's not a fit for this offense.
With that said, we could really use some more talent at the QB position so I hope we find someone who does fit.

Definitely not good news. Sorry to see Russo decommit. No negativity here but I hope Ash lands a decent recruit real soon.
I've got a dime. Can we just get ONE kid? Please? Any kid? He can be legally blind and be missing one arm - I don't care. He can have ovaries. I'm tired of hearing about decommits. Just one freakin' commit.
because twitter. Maybe there has been no offer yet, but he looks just right.

It's pretty clear we'll never get another commitment, ever. What is Ash doing? He should definitely take your somebody, anybody approach...we'd have this class filled in no time.
meh this is only a huge loss if you were anointing him savior of RU football which some were because Dilfer made some comments..we move on

And according to Rivals, he's only a soft verbal to SUX, so apparently he's still open to hearing from another school.
Russo made a smart decision - he's not a spread QB, by any stretch. By far the biggest issue is who do we recruit instead and will this person start over who we have?
SU new staff is luke warm on Scott. They have pursued and offered other QB's since their arrival.
BS. Might not got the 4* with 20 offers at this point, but they type of kids who light up the MAC, the Matt Johnson, Jordan Lynch, Cooper Rush types can be found out there.
Ant seemed like a solid kid with a head on his shoulders and knew early where he wanted to go....until he got cold feet...better now than in a couple weeks..even the MAC gets some under rated talent that blossoms why can't we..
So you want Flood back? He was willing to take anyone.
One more day until the dead period ends.
Might be a tad late on Brown. But from what I heared from a couple of people there is interest. The problem is he is an early enrollee at BC. No idea how that would work. But with Mr. Russo good luck to the young man. I'm thankful he gave RU a chance. He has to make the best decision for him. If he feels that RU is not the offense he is comfortable with then he has to move on. Guys let's trust the staff on this.
Unless you can recruit one of the top 15 to 20 DUAL threat HS QBs you are going to struggle to run the spread.
If your QB can't run, your in deep trouble. If your QB can run, but isn't a good thrower, you're in deep trouble.
I am old school like Saban. Pro-set, ground and pound and play action all day. But the entire B12 runs the spread, so I am probably totally wrong.

If BC did not release him from his LOI he would have to sit next year and would have 3 more years of eligibility. If he was released from his LOI then he would be a normal transfer and sit out next year and have 4 years of eligibility left.
I am bummed about the de-commit.
I understand it with the new coaching change.
I will give time for Coach Ash to bring his vision to the Banks before I get disillusioned.
On paper, Russo doesn't look like a perfect fit for the offense.
If Russo goes to Temple, he better be ready for their coach to leave in 2 years for better opportunities.
Temple seems like the best fit for him (from this no knowledge outside perspective fan of football)
I wish him the best.
PS: In my yoga class last night, the instructor mentioned the "Fight of Flight" instinct and I wanted to ask her if she had Coach Ash's permission to use it.

Sad, that I won't see Russo play on the Banks. He is going to be VERY good! For those of you who don't understand what it takes to play in a "Pro" Offense, with absolutely no running ability, look at guys like Tom Brady, Ben Roeth.., Peyton Manning, Carson Palmer, Andy Dalton, Aaron Rogers, the list goes on. A QB, only needs to move a few steps in the pocket to be successful.
Now, where do we go from here? Houston converted a WR to QB, and he ran a pretty good Offense. I don't know who it will be for RU this year, but next year the kid from St Peters Prep. looks like a great dual threat with size and good mechanics. Go RU!

Well sign me up for what Houston did this year. Let's trust the staff. If they don't win in 3 years then time to start looking. But as a fan base we need to support the coaches and our current kids and commits.
It will be injury free. The kid wouldn't have even seen the field here, let alone at LSU.
