Fields doesn't have a date set or anything right? Only Zamir on June 27th and Wynn on July 1st?

Correct, but fields wants to end his recruitment sooner then later and I believe he will be an EE as well. He wants to shut it down before the season and school

I dont believe Justin Fields is an EE. Pretty sure he's waiting on where he's picked in the MLB draft next year, seeing if the signing bonus is worth him leaving football.

I've seen some indication he could announce at The Opening, but nothing is set in stone.

Fields isn't an EE yet, he could be if he wants. He said a long time ago he wanted to stick it out and play one last baseball season, but I'm guessing now that baseball is further past us, he will play football this season and then make up his EE mind

Hey fellas.

Just wanted to let y'all know that Mike Farrell (Rivals) wrote in an article today that sources have told him Fields made a silent commitment to Kirby.

He did, however, say he wouldn't be surprised if he ended up at Florida though.

Just thought I would share.

Here's the article I'm talking about:

quote:

1. BREAKING DOWN FIELDS AND CORRAL 

It’s late June and there are two recently decommitted five-star quarterback prospects available, which is not exactly a common occurrence in Rivals.com history. So the questions surrounding where Justin Fields and Matt Corral will end up are endless and the intrigue is great, especially since both are looking at some of the same schools. While no one knows where either will commit, here’s my best effort at a breakdown. 

The players for Fields include home-state school Georgia, Florida, Florida State, Auburn, Penn State (where he was committed before) and USC, to my knowledge. Assuming Penn State won’t happen, as re-commitments are highly unlikely in the recruiting world, many feel this will come down to Georgia, Florida and Florida State. 

Fields took recent visits to Georgia, Auburn and Florida State and is coming off a two-day visit to Florida. He has obviously seen Penn State and also took a visit to USC a few weeks back according to sources. 

Now, this is where things get interesting. Some sources tell me he’s a silent commitment to Georgia and has already told Kirby Smart he’s coming. Others feel that Florida State has taken the lead after Fields recently visited with Jimbo Fisher at camp, and still others think the Gators have the edge because he’s been there at least three times now and the opportunity to play right away is obvious. And still others think a return trip to Los Angeles, where he has some family, is in the works before a final decision is made. 

Where do I think he’ll end up? No clue. This is one of those situations where only those very close to Fields know what is going on and everyone seems to be hearing what they want to hear. My best guess is still Florida, but I seem to be in the minority there. 


After Corral's decommitment from USC, the Trojans are in the mix for other quarterbacks (see below), and Corral has been linked to Georgia (where he visited), Florida and Alabama - and keep an eye out for Nebraska. Georgia could be a real player, here, but obviously the in-state five-star Fields is a higher priority according to sources, while Florida is also all-in on Fields and Alabama is hoping Corral will come and throw for them, as is customary, before taking any commitment. 

Nebraska is the interesting one here, as Corral would be a huge get for the Calibraska movement. Nebraska has the kind of atmosphere on a visit, whether it’s during the season or even during the summer, where it’s not out of the question to see Corral commit. Other schools could be involved, but these are the ones I’ve heard the most about.

QBs are different from other players because of the leadership responsibility they must assume.
A character issue in a QB is a big deal. CKS could have likely realized that and passed on him.


If that was an issue. I probably should not have brought it up, but saw it on the USCw board, and threw it out there. That could be the problem, or it might have been an isolated incident.

We'll give out a silent celebration, then! It will become an official celebration when they make it public an d be a full on party/sigh of relief when he signs!

ETA
Thanks for passing information like this along! We've been needing some good news around here!

Fields to the Dawgs and Corral to the Cornhuskers would be the ideal situation to come from all of this.

The official Georgia Football twitter also posted a RB U video today which makes me feel even better about Zeus.

It's going to be tough for Alabama to land an elite QB in this class due to Hurts being so young and taking two QBs last year.

Corral would be a nice pull though.

Some people out in the media have said they expect Tua to take the job from Hurts if Hurts doesn't improve his accuracy. I can see that happening if you guys lose a game or two early on because Hurts is struggling.

The possible battle between Fromm and Fields will be great to read about should it pan out.

It wouldn't be the first time you guys came in and scooped up insane amounts of talent, though. The RB class a few years ago was absolutely nasty. Unfortunately, only one or two of those guys panned out.

I've been tweeting at him at least 4 times a day for the past 2 weeks reminding him how awesome UGA is and that he's a loser if he goes somewhere else. He seems really receptive and I think it's going to help us land him.
