Re: Justin Fields Leaving Georgia

The article said Fields would appeal to play immediately where ever he goes........does anyone know on what basis he might appeal? Or, on what basis would the NCAA grant an appeal?
Remember those racist comments and the baseball player? It’ll be along those lines

Re: Justin Fields Leaving Georgia

Never got why some in the fanbase were turning on Fromm around midseason. The kid is fantastic and maybe the win two games against us in the last year if they didn't spend most of the second half taking the ball out of his hands.
You know how it is... the fans always want the wonder kid, the next new thing.

Here's an update from ESPN. This is not a done deal yet, but Fields and his Father have apparently had multiple meetings with Kirby to discuss his future.

Re: Justin Fields Leaving Georgia

I agree with JBama, who didn't see this coming prior to the season even starting. The same thing at Clemson. I think UF has their own 5 star true freshman QB who saw little playing time this year, Bazz can chime in on this. If Fields wants playing time at a school that will showcase his talents then OU would be an excellent location. In the SEC, auburn will certainly have an opening although Nix will be a true freshman. Bentley at USCe has one more year of eligibility, Ole Miss, MSU, Arkansas and UT all need a QB. LSU could come into play since this is Burrow's last season. Of course if he has to sit then that changes the dynamics. My money, if he stays in the SEC is Tennessee. Outside the SEC probably Oklahoma. Gonna be a fun off season.

Re: Justin Fields Leaving Georgia

Pump the brakes?

Member of Georgia QB Justin Fields’ family: ‘We have not made any decisions’

Asked if she could confirm reports that her son intends to transfer from Georgia, Fields’ stepmother said she could not. But she also didn’t deny them.

“We’re not at liberty to discuss anything,” Jo Ann Claudrick Fields said via telephone Monday night. “We’re not confirming or denying anything. We have not made any decisions.”
Fields’ stepmother was responding to questions about a USA Today report by Dan Wolken late Monday night citing anonymous sources that the freshman quarterback intends to leave Georgia seeking a transfer. Using the word “we” several times, it appeared the family was together discussing the situation Monday night.

Fields’ mother, Gina Tobey, said she didn’t know anything about it but to call Justin’s father.
“He handles everything involving football,” she said.
But Ivant Fields did not return calls seeking comment. Neither did Fields himself, Georgia coach Kirby Smart, or Fields’ high school coach.

The fact that Fields’ stepmother said a decision hasn’t been made is a development in itself. Fields told DawgNation after the SEC Championship Game that he was happy at Georgia, loved his teammates and planned to continue to compete with Jake Fromm for the starting quarterback’s job.

Re: Justin Fields Leaving Georgia

Not a done deal yet, but if I was a betting man I'd lean towards Fields transferring. Chip Towers provides the latest below:

In any event; two 5* QB's, both ranked #1 in their respective classes have tried to beat out Jake Fromm and failed. Food for thought.
I get the love for Fromm, but can we really say Eason didn’t beat him out? He was Wally Pipp’ed.

Re: Justin Fields Leaving Georgia

For those who have mentioned Florida - no way do I see this happening.

We already have returning (he was red shirted this season) freshman Emory Jones who is an extremely talented dual purpose.

I don't blame you though for thinking we needed one after watching Franks this season. ;)

Franks will be back next year along with Emory Jones and Kyle Trask and freshman 4 star dual threat Jalon Jones.

Re: Justin Fields Leaving Georgia

But, I thought Fields was a darn good Dawg! Willing To sit behind Fromm like Shockley sat behind Greene. I mean, I heard that this morning from a Dawg with ‘sources’ .

What about Plumlee, didn’t they ask him to blueshirt. My understanding, he has some kind feelings that were not all positive toward Kirby Smart.

They only take 'em when they leave town a half step ahead of the high sheriff.

I completely forgot about Emory Jones.

Re: Justin Fields Leaving Georgia

As Bill said, this is the new reality in college football. I still blame this on his parents. They should have had enough insight to know that Fromm was a true sophomore who started his freshman year and took the team to the NC finals. Fromm, barring injury, will be a four year starter so Fields would only have one year to start if he stayed. I forgot that Ga Tech has a new HC whose offensive philosophy will probably fit Fields.

Fromm will most likely be gone to the NFL after next season.
