I'd be somewhat surprised if he goes to UGA though given what they have with Fromm. I think he probably wants to go there but he's also a sensible kid and I doubt he's going to go somewhere to sit for what will most likely be 3 years as I don't see Fromm leaving early no matter how successful he is a la Murray and Greene. If Kirby can convince the #1 player in the country to be a situation player for at least 2 years then


Same fricking thing I said before the Georgia fans went epileptic. Let's not even talk about Fromm, who is running the offense well enough.

Let's talk about Eason who is only a Sophomore. So Fields would come in and immediately have to beat out Eason, a former 5-star quarterback, and then Fromm who is doing well enough. As you said:

If Kirby can tell the number 1 player in the country ''hey, come ride the pine for a few years'' and the guy comes, he's the best recruiter in the country.

He's going to beat out Blackman which will be a cinch at FSU. Francois won't be there after next year.

Outside of playing time, what is he waiting for? Location? He's close to all three top schools. Educational prestige (lol)? Pipelines to the NFL? FSU, UGA and Auburn got it.

All this shite he already knows. So is he waiting for a check to clear? Or promises to playing time? Seeing who's winning and losing?

Georgia fans need to get their heads on straight.

UGA's depth chart situation is more complicated than that. If Fromm's holds the job this season, it is likely that Eason would transfer. That would make Fromm the only scholarship QB on the roster, which means Fields would be one play away from being the starter, just like Fromm was in August.

That, and sometimes kids just decide that they like one place better than others. With how many times he's been in Athens vs. every other place, it looks like that might be the case.

Says the guy who's convinced we're being played because he wore an FSU shirt to school one day.

False... again you seem to struggle with a basic grasp of the English language.

"somewhat surprised if he goes to UGA" =/= "He isn't going to the dawgs"...

"epileptic" =/= disagrees with your jackassery...

Very few here are saying Fields comes to UGA, no question... Americus, who admittedly is generally pretty plugged in on the recruiting front, is pretty confident, but the rest of us as far as I can tell are in the "better than decent chance" category.

Given what I'm seeing from the UGA OL, it's a damn sight more comforting than what's been happening at FSU (QB down as a result) and at least in Auburn's lone "competitive" game with Clemson (11 sacks). It's not perfect by any means, but it's improving and the quality of athlete is as well. Fields loses nothing by not committing yet, because he has a spot literally at every school

You'll also notice that conversation with everyone in this thread other than yourself and Phan has generally been normal. Shitty Gator poster will be shitty I suppose.
