Re: Justin Fields (potentially) Leaving Georgia
Good info B1gTide. The bigger story may be yet to come, though. If Fields is allowed to play in 2019 (without sitting out a year) because his claim of racial animus at Georgia is legitimized that would have a huge negative impact on the Georgia football program. Also, as some other poster noted, the door to unrestricted undergraduate free agency would be thrown wide open. Maybe the whole race discrimination claim is just a rumor but for the NCAA to give him a waiver there would certainly have to be more than just a random baseball player making a despicable comment in the stands. Fields would have to alledge that Kirby and the coaching staff discrimated against him based on his race. If that claim is legitimized than it would be very bad public relations for UGA. Could get more interesting for Dawg fans.

True, but when Scotty pushes the lever forward, he's outta there.............
Re: Justin Fields (potentially) Leaving Georgia
I expect he is gone. Barring injury he's going to continue to sit at UGA and he knows it (and so does his father). All sorts of Power 5 teams will make him promises they may or may not be able to keep.

Kirby thought he had Tua in Fields...guess he was wrong about that :biggrin:

Looks like Luke Ford is gone, too.

Re: Justin Fields (potentially) Leaving Georgia
Would like to go after Ford if we could because I reckon that Irv Smith is probably go after 2019

There’s a video of Fields walking off the field after the South Carolina game. Can’t post because of language, but it’s pretty evident he wasn’t happy about how little he was used.
Now with Ford possibly transferring, have to wonder what all Kirby sold guys last year.

That tweet was from before Fields was in the portal (he is now), but it shows that Ford was already in it. With Nuata likely gone to the NFL, this is a blow to UGA's TE depth.

Exactly my first thought...
Re: Justin Fields (potentially) Leaving Georgia - also Luke Ford
The racial aspect is touchy. There was definitely a baseball player who yelled racial slurs at him from the stands and the guy was kicked off the team. As someone who has never had to experience that, who am I to say if it warrants immediate eligibility. I just hope that was the extent of it. I guess I would be surprised if he doesn’t have to sit out a year assuming it was limited to that one instance.
Re: Justin Fields (potentially) Leaving Georgia
Kirby truly believes he is an elite coach because he can beat a few wimps in the east and get to Atlanta. but just wait until Mullen rebuilds Florida... this moronic coaching is going to start to catch up with Kirby once Florida rises again, and with The debacles at FSU and Miami that could be within the next 2 years.
It reminds me of Lyod Carr botching a National Championship by playing the QB hokey pokey between Brady and Henson in 1999.

Some talk that there could be a few more guys from UGA’s class on the way out.

Recruiting class rankings don't mean much, if you can't hold on to them...

Kirby holding onto the big recruiting class like it’s a lead in a championship game.

And yet his family feels that he's so threatened that his sister Jaiden also attends UGA.

Re: Justin Fields (potentially) Leaving Georgia - also Luke Ford
I'd buy the argument if he had left the team after that episode but his participation went up so I got to assume his performance in practice was not hurting. Will the NCAA buy it? It is a great argument for an institution like the NCAA because they're all about appearances over reality and this will make them look good.
