If Syracuse basketball is blowing out Florida State on Tuesday night, and wing Calvin Russell III gets into the game, the 'Cuse fan base is going to explode, and rightfully so.
After months of anxiousness last fall, amid constant - and rather annoying - flip chatter from analysts, Orange fanatics in hoops (and football) can rest easy, as the 6-foot-5, 190-pound Russell has enrolled early at SU for the spring semester that began on Monday. He has also joined the Syracuse basketball program, practiced on Monday and will be available to play on Tuesday evening as the 'Cuse welcomes the Seminoles to the JMA Wireless Dome.
