Russo

[chopper77us]

Things not looking too good with Anthony Russo. Just tweeted a pic with Temple after in home visit.

 

[JERSEYROOTS]

Everyone keep calm. Thats all I'll say.

 

[knight82]

Any kid who would rather play at Temple than in the Big Ten, you have to wonder about

 

[wheezer]

 

[hinson32]

Do the math folks:

- Ash get RU job
- Ash calls and speaks with Russo over the phone.
- Russo will not comment on his conversation with Ash.
- Temple gets an in home visit and Russo tweets out a picture.

I am not too sure how much Ash wants Russo.

------------------
well, if we go to a spread with a mobile qb, I hope Ash knows who he is going to plug into the qb spot.... I would hate to pass on Russo in any case.

 

[JERSEYROOTS]

When was the in-house scheduled?

 

[ArminRU]

Not like Temple runs a pro style offense.....so I don't get it from that standpoint

 

[RU4Real]

I got bitched at the other day, so I ain't sayin' no more about all this. :)

 

[cubuffsdoug]

Let me know when you can tweet a phone call.[winking] There is a big difference in tweeting a picture and discussing a private conversation.

 

[RUONTHERISE]

Let a kid do his due diligence

 

[LevaosLectures]

Don't worry. We have Gio!

 

[mikershoein]

Why is he pointing at him , what's he thinking " this guy, now way I'm going to the hood to play ball"

 

[sodakboy93]

Russo was an Elite 11 QB. They don't exactly grow on trees. I'm not saying he'd be the best fit for a spread offense, but considering that the next elite QB we have here will be the first, I wouldn't be quick to wish him gone.

 

[dclionsfan]

Franklin wants to flip him or the usc guy

Tom Savage.

 

[wheezer]

Why do you guys have to try and analyze every single thing Jeez. You have zero clue on anything so just let it play out my God

He has a D1A college coach do an in home visit and he can't be excited and tweet it. You guys are just ridiculous

------------
you should know by now we over analyze everything, and make quick and sometimes inaccurate assumptions...it is what we do..... if you don't like it, skip the thread...

 

[LevaosLectures]

What about Zembiec?

 

[dclionsfan]

Probably thinking hack is out leaving two scholarship qb on team

 

[AreYouNUTS]

This is just idiotic. Russo is going to be very good.

.

Listen, we all hope so, but plenty of "elite 11" qb' didn't make it happen at this level, so let's not heap expectations on the kid just yet.

 

[mildone]

I feel I can confidently predict, with 100% certainty, that Ash may or may not want Russo and that Russo may or may not come to RU. I can also predict that regardless of what happens, we'll deal with it.

I agree 100%

 

[Caliknight]

I hope Russo comes. I also am not concerned about any single recruit. Ash has got this.

 

[ScarletKnightRider]

Ooooohhh noo!!... big bad Temple sent a coach to visit our Quarterback's house... whatever will we do?

 

[wicker]

Be something if you guys lost Rene and Russo

Oh my... she was such a babe but father time has taken its toll

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Will we want him to play DB like Flood told Walker?

 

[ScarletKid2008]

Russo re-tweeted a video this morning posted by an RU student which has a tagline of something like "Ash & Russo - a new era at RU". The video itself was well edited with Russo HS highlights, his announcement to commit to RU, and cuts from Ash's intro press conference.

So for those of you that follow every tweet .. RU is back in favorable twitter land with Russo. Although I would say re-tweeting comes with less conviction and punch than something he originally wrote himself.

 

[Yeah Baby]

Will we want him to play DB like Flood told Walker?

Not sure how you make this leap. One kid is a dead pro style QB with no chance of playing D back and the other is a great athlete with a good arm who could probably excel at many positions.

Walker is not built to play QB in the NFL but if that is his dream I hope he continues to chase it.

 

[RickDaglessMD]

He's likely to do very well in college wherever he goes. That said, he's not bigger than this program or its need to get rid of Flood.

If he decommits, then he decommits; the program will be fine. I have faith that Ash can get us an equally good (or better) QB in 2017 that fits his system.

Yes...good lord...what would we do with our free time if we didn't over analyze and assume here :smiley:

 

[RickDaglessMD]

Also, not for anything, just a few years ago this program survived 13 decommitments, and many of those athletes were as good or better than Russo (not a knock on him). Again, we will be fine.

 

[JHG722]

Yeah, South Philly is real hood.

 

[DHajekRC84]

Not sold on Russo as a solid RU guy until I see him wearing Scarlet Sneakers. Just sayin...:)

 

[mikershoein]

Yeah, South Philly is real hood.

That's game day, what about the rest of the week?

 

[RUforlife]

Temple has Walker next year, Nutile for the next two and they also recruited some kid from California coming in next year that they are very high on. I actually think he would have a better shot to play early at Rutgers.

I wouldn't say we survived. Led to our coach being fired and talent level is depleted on team for next year because of that class. That class was one reason why team was so awful this year.

 

[mildone]

Why would you want to do that to the kid?

Um... do what to the kid?

 

[RutgersUnion]

Maybe Ash is going after options 1A and 1B again.

 

[wheezer]

Lack of offers has always been concern with this kid.

---- looking at where we wound up this year, it does appear those defections cost us big.... Onward and upward from here.
