better shot with Trevor Lawrence?

According to his HS coach, we never had a shot... Supposedly didn't recover from a bad recruiting experience under Richt when Lawrence was a Freshman or Sophomore in HS? Something along those lines.

Also, Fields didn't commit to us until after Lawrence was already committed to Clemson...

We never had a shot. His family friend was taking him to Clemson games when he was in middle school.

I totally get it. And most of us wonder why we went all-in after him if we weren't willing to accommodate his skills. I don't think you can blame anyone for that.

---

Not at all. My personal opinion, is we were going to change the scheme to fit his skills after Fromm left. Fromm took us to the NC, so he was going to keep the job. And it would be crazy to change the scheme with Fromm at QB
My only other theory is that we went after him because you go after the #1 recruit at that position. That and to keep him out of Florida and Auburn's hands, not to mention Alabama.

So again, why even pursue him as we did? That's what people have an issue with. If you don't think that we're being negatively recruited against based on how all of that played out, you're kidding yourself. It may be a while before another dual-threat guy actually signs with us.

And again...because the intent was to change once Fields was the QB. To me it seems obvious. I'm surprised it doesn't to some others.

Any way we slice it, Fields is gone and he simply did not fit with Georgia's scheme at the time. maybe not ever, who knows? I can't read Kirby's mind, but it is silly for people to act as if we did the dumbest thing imaginable. Looking back on it, I wish we had never gotten him. If he wins a Title the melt on here is going to go through the roof.

That is my take. I do agree if we want to compare thoughts on this we should make another thread.

Some added Jared WIlson info from his West Forsyth head coach Adrian Snow:

“This kid, for his size, has freakish ability. It is unbelievable. To be as big as he is and can move like this cat can move.”

“He can move. He can run. He’s athletic and the tip of the iceberg is only what is showing. This is his third year of playing football. He’s only played football for three years.”

“You need to watch him pull and run. Seriously. It is just like a gazelle. You’re looking at that and just loving those feet. But then you are looking at him and going ‘this kid is massive’ and man can he run. It will be like he is just tip-toeing around guys.”

“It is just like he runs on pillows. It is crazy. Soft feet, man. He ain’t no lumberer out there. I can promise you that. He can make it happen.”

“You just see things and go ‘Good gosh’ because now he’s starting to enjoy it and annihilate people. You kind of feel bad at times for the other kids he is blocking. This big joker is on them and they can’t get him off. He’s just attacking them. It’s awesome. It is awesome.”

“He’s really never played football before. He’s been a soccer player. A basketball player.”

“His feet are what sets him apart. It is unbelievable and I am not just a high school coach saying how good my kid is. You just watch him run and watch him move. It is like God has blessed him. Let’s just say that.”

“He’s got the best demeanor. He’s the best kid. Teachers love him. I don’t bet you could find anyone around here in the whole school to say anything bad about him. He’s just awesome. He really is.”

“Great kid. Great player. But he’s an offensive lineman that still plays hard all the time.”

“He’s a big kid. A big player. A big prospect. But he’s not one of those kids who thinks he is bigger than everyone else. Even though he is physically bigger than everybody else.”

“He’ll be an interior guard or center for them (in college) when he gets there. Possibly a center or a guard type.”

Wilson ranks as the nation’s No. 19 OG for 2021 on the 247Sports Composite ratings. That places him as the nation’s No. 495 overall prospect for 2021.

Do y'all really not understand that Fields was not a good fit for Georgia's offensive scheme? It wasn't a matter of talent. it was a matter of scheme that kept Fields off the field.

---

I think that Fields could have started this year for Kirby and we would be no worse off. It was just that Fromm got there first and has has performed. Now both are doing well.

It pays to commit to the G even if circumstances change and you transfer.

We recruiting Fields again, or something? Just wondering why we spend so much time talking about him here. Take it to the main board, imo.

Hahahaha y'all want some real insight into Jared? One my main man Coach Snow who I played for almost 10 years ago now at West is telling the truth. Good coach that runs a spread and has loads of talent that he benefits from.

Jared is huge and to be able to move the way he does is just unthinkable. You should see him dunk and play Basketball!

I talked to Jared the other day my understanding is Sam wants him as a Center. Which to me is perfect for his body. He is so quick and a very smart kid! This is a great under the radar get for us!

I've been dying the last few years watching our star players go to shite schools and die minus KJ so its nice to see a Titan pick the good guys for a change!!!

We got a 2023 kid Treyaun Webb. LINK
