I agree he wants Fields to start, but if Fromm went off and started passing for 400 yds a game im sure he would stay home

1. Haselwood is not off the board. He’s as likely to commit to UGA as he is Miami or OU. No one knows where he’s leaning, but I do know he’s paying close attention. 2. UGA is now looking at taking 24 in this class. Based on their average star ranking + volume, it’s going to be hard for UGA not to finish top 3.


1. I agree that JH isn't completely off the board, but the likelihood is that he signs elsewhere, as the overwhelming majority of decommits don't sign with their original school.

2. If you look at our remaining targets, the star average will drop as we approach 24 commits. You also have to look at what other schools are doing. The gap between a top 3 class and a top 5-7 is often a handful of elite players

I agree that Fields should get more playing time, but like I said before we'll be in trouble if we start letting recruits influence the decision on who starts.

It certainly was the main factor. It enabled LSU to play the game the way they wanted to.

No, it wasn't, but if you want to argue this point some more then take it to another thread. There are plenty of threads talking about Fields/Fromm and it has been discussed enough.
You are never going to agree with me and I won't agree with you. It all comes down to Kirby is the coach and he will make the decision, so I'm not sure what your point is. To convince somebody? You won't. People who see things your way always have and always will. People who don't, won't. I will let Kirby coach and earn his money and you can come to a message board and complain.

I have a question for y'all.

I've seen a handful of threads on your 247 board alluding to your class falling apart/coming back together based on Justin Fields potential playing time.

I don't want to get into a Fromm/Fields debate, but does your fan base (as a collective) believe this is true?




The ones that want to be a pretend coach and act like they know more about football than Kirby Smart absolutely believe it. The rest of us....eh. It couldn't hurt, but it certainly will not be a deciding factor. kids just don't think like that.

It’s it’s 14-3 early, LSU would have struggled to follow through with their run first game plan on offense, and the run would have opened up more for uga, giving us better ball control in 2 ways.

Never said that. Nolan might go to
Bama or clemson. Fields ain’t going to either.


Let's just follow a tiny amount of logic here. nolan Smith might decommit if Fields goes somewhere else because Fields isn't playing, but they might go to different schools?

Why? I am honestly curious why that would be logical.

I am nto discussing it in this thread. If you want to post about the LSU game here then go ahead, but I am not going to answer your posts about the LSU game in this thread.

4-Star Kenny McIntosh
4-Star Nay’Quan Wright
3-Star Jamious Griffin

I’d also throw in 4* Noah Cain as an option. His dad loves how UGA puts RB’s in the league. Cain is also close with Nolan Smith

Because he wants to win big. Players want to play with stud qbs. Bama, clemson, and Uga have them. Only Uga doesn’t play ours.

Last post in this thread about it.....but your logic is absolutely crazy. Nolan Smith is a defensive player. He wants to win, but he could care less who is the QB. To say otherwise points out you never playe above the High School level....probably did not play High School. Even high school defensive players, if they want to transfer, care who the QB is.

I'm done discussing it with you. You've shown that you have no idea what goes on inside college kids heads. I can assure you, Smith wants to play in the NFL, and he is not going to jeopardize that by making decisions based upon what Justin Fields is doing. To even entertain that line of thinking is ludicrous.

I mean, how many defensive players do you honestly believe Alabama missed out on because they had Jalen Hurts starting last season instead of Tua?

Honest question for someone who doesn't follow recruiting anymore....

We only have two LBs committed so far. Are we ok with that?

No need for your pathetic attempts at insults. That’s what people do when they can’t make a good point, but it’s better just to quit posting. All players want to play with a stud qb as Stud qbs win big, but no, That’s not the only reason players pick a school. Now to embarrass you completely:

Nolan Smith wants to play with a dual-threat QB

Smith recently discussed what Fields choosing UGA ultimately meant to the strength of Smith’s own commitment to the program.

“Having a dual-threat quarterback is a great key,” Smith said. “From every aspect of the game. By that, he can throw and run. Being a defensive player me having to practice against Justin Fields, that’s fine. But me having to play against Justin Fields if he went to Florida it would have been a big problem.

Problem solved.

“Now that he’s on our side, I don’t have to play against him,” Smith said. “I only have to practice against him and he’s doing to do nothing but just make me better.”

Look at it as ILB vs. OLB, and keep in mind that positions on recruit profiles don't always match or projection.

Current commits by projected position:

ILB
Rian Davis
Trezman Marshall

OLB
Nolan Smith
Jermaine Johnson

So we are at a total of four. We are right in it for top ILB nationally, Nakobe Dean. Doubt we take many more at OLB since we loaded up in 2018.

We are doing well at LB, and if we hold what we have and add Dean it will be a great class.

Nope. I can name plenty of stud QB's that have not won big and and I can name plenty of average QB's that have won big on all levels. I am not insulting you. I said your logic is wrong. If you don't know the difference then that's a you problem.

I must have missed the part where he said he was going to play with a DT or else. Does he prefer? maybe. Is that the only option? Hardly. Who's embarrassed? I would say you are closer than me. I know what players think on a high level. You obviously do not. I have asked you in the past, and I will ask you again. What is the highest level of football you have played?

Fro the grasp you have of some areas of football, I would say it was pretty low.

This is correct. For instance, Reese from last year was listed at LB, but at his size we have him at safety.

Another interesting thing of note is Owen Pappoe is only about 209LBS, last I checked. that is pretty light for a LB. he could put on some weight, but sometimes they lose some of their speed.
Just as a comparison, Roquan Smith was considered a new type LB that is a little lighter and faster, and I think he played at around 230 or so? Something like that.

Only 24 attempts. Probably not enough for a guy that expects double digit targets
