Agreed....I’m old school, I’m my book everyone has to earn it. I believe in principles and I would have told him and daddy to Shut up.....like I said I agree doing so is wrong, but it’s happened before around the country and in other sports,....perhaps Kirby felt pressure that if he pissed off the 5 star kid he would lose favor with boosters and or admin at Georgia. Ironic since the kid is leaving anyway because a little playing time is not what he wanted. Hopefully Ohio State makes him earn it

What I'm about to say is no slight to UGA and their fans. But, I don't believe Ohio State is guaranteeing Fields anything. I think it's a matter of credibility. Ohio State has more credibility than UGA as far as being a championship program but also when it comes to developing dual threat QBs. The coaching staff at Ohio State has done this while Chaney hasn't developed one dual threat QB that I know of. Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if Urban is roaming the halls of the football facility in Columbus giving input here and there regarding the handling of Fields.
