Do we really want to put all our eggs in the Haskins basket like we did with Flippy Franks? I like this kid a lot!

Russo looks very impressive on film

Yes

good arm
I saw exactly zero big league throws. Everything was within 25 yards of his launch, or looped in with no zip. I'm not saying he's incapable of throwing 40 yards on a line, but he didn't do it in that video.

nice touch on short passes
He sure did. His highlights looked a lot like what Miami asked Steve Walsh to do.

It would be great to get another Bert Jones, but all you need to win big in college is a guy who won't miss easy opportunities.

The very first pass in the video is over 40 yards. The kid is standing on the 44 yard line and his receiver catches the ball on the 3 yard line. It's in the first 15 seconds of the video.

This kid has a lot of potential. Let's get behind this kid if he decides he wants to be a tiger. No wishing we had the other guys. Russo deserves better than that!


Not to be a Debbie downer but c'mon man. His highlight film is decent but it reminds me of J Lee and Jennings' film where they threw high arching passes.

That may look great in a highlight film when the receivers was getting that wide of separation but my question is can he throw like that against a SEC pass rush and SEC DBs playing tight coverage? Those DBs in that film were piss poor....

Or maybe those high throws are enticing because of the tall recievers we are bringing in

would be a nice get. We need a solid QB to come in and redshirt and get as much learning as possible before being thrown in

Russo fits in with what we want to do and he seems to be very accurate and his footwork is ok. He will also come in with a chip on his shoulder because I don't believe he gets his just due in the rankings.

At the beginning of the video I thought to myself well he hasn't been under center at all but later in the video there were a few so I think with the weight room and tighten up his release. I think he will be ok

Loved what they said about him at the Elite 11 work-outs, and his attitude.

Looks like a winner...
