re: 2018 UGA Recruiting Thread (commits, offers, visits, etc.) - Back to that #1 class

I'll eat my share of crow lol.
Thought he was committing App. St. Weekend when he visited. I posted we'd get one and that's who thought it was.
He's been with us for a while, as have others.
Glad we got him, that Wyatt stayed, and I'm thinking one more will come up front that will be ranked higher than both.

Thanks to Hinesvillethrill for his info on his hometown kid and other info I've passed along that came from the him. It's all good news!

All the Scott haters can eabod's. Look at what's happening on Saturdays up front. Behind the scenes, he's doing big things. Just watch.

He may only be a 3 star, but he is very underrated

Coaches really liked what they saw from him. Think his rating is about right, based on how they somehow come up with it lol, but his potential is what got him the offer. He's still growing into his body. Got a lot of technique to work on.

Thanks for the info Crow, Breezy, Americus. Just hadn't seen his name much until recently and wondered if that was a white flag commit or a legit recruiting effort.

Lot of FSU commits in the visitors from Grayson this weekend. Could be a bit concerning if Fields is around them.

Or Fields could turn them to the good guys

Just a tidbit I saw posted on the AJC site today, Jadon Haselwood was interviewed and stated he is "1000% committed" to the good guys and he had to show his boy Fields a good time this weekend. He then stated, "It's down to us and LSU".

That is a surprise to me as I thought the main draw of looking at Auburn, FSU, Florida, and UGA was to stay close to home. LSU looked like hot garbage at QB this weekend and it's around an 8-hour trip from Kennesaw, GA to Baton Rouge, LA. I'll take that as a good sign that it's really just the good guys and then some other teams floating around in the places behind us.

Also, LSU could only muster 7pts against Miss St, if we show up this weekend and put up a better offensive performance with a W, could Fields finally pull the trigger and commit?

I'd imagine a potential coaching change in the works for LSU, which won't help their case

No way! 3 games into a coaching career is not enough to get him hired. He has at least 2 years

Where have you read that he wanted to play right away? Everything I've read was to the contrary.

I think he sees that there are loads of successful NFL QB's that sat their 1st year in college and worked to get better and understand the game at a higher level before being asked to perform at a high level.

I personally would like him to be comfortable with the plays and be able to run the offense at a high-level versus getting nervous and just bailing to run every time he gets pressured as most DT guys do when they first start playing college or NFL fb.

Yeah I've read the same things. But its always with the caveat that if that situation presented itself, he would be ok with red shirting - not that he would prefer it. If he is presented two options like LSU and Georgia, the path to playing time is so much clearer at LSU. I hope we get him, but there's a difference between redshirting a year or potentially sitting three years behind Eason and Fromm.
