NGT: former 5 star QB Justin Fields to transfer from Georgia

ajr2456 : 12/17/2018 8:57 pm
Making 11 of the 19 5 star QB since 2011 to have transferred
I bet he goes to A and M

needs a QB.

So does LSU.
Why did he pick Georgia in the first place?  
widmerseyebrow : 12/17/2018 9:07 pm : link
I know he's from there, but just seemed like a poor choice with Fromm looking so good as a freshman.

I thought FSU too but does he really want to go to that shitshow?

He did commit once to Penn State too.
He's not going to Penn St.  
Bill in TN : 12/17/2018 9:13 pm : link
He's an SEC chump - Auburn or LSU is my guess.
If he transfers to a D1 school does he have to sit out a year?  
robbieballs2003 : 12/17/2018 9:16 pm : link
Maybe he goes to a lower level for a year.

LSU just signed Max Johnson, Brad’s son.
A&M...  
bw in dc : 12/17/2018 9:17 pm : link
is set with Kellon Mond.

A very underrated QB.
Fields...

would be ideal for UCLA and Chip Kelly.

Great.

Because LSU just churns out QBs like clockwork.

I'm sure Max is the answer in BR.

No chance Fields goes and plays at a lower level for a year.

Very odd decision by him to transfer in my opinion. He has to sit out a year now. So by the time he's eligible again Fromm will be leaving for the NFL.
UGA friend says He has connections to Marc Richt

Mook, why sit out a year when you can play even if it is at a lower level?

Johnson is the nephew of Mark Richt. Very talented. Stunned everyone when he spurned family blood for Death Valley.

Because all along it was presumed that Johnson would go to Miami and play for Uncle Mark. When he chose LSU two weeks ago it created quite a stir.

I never understood that. What is there to appeal? You signed on to play at a school and the rule is that you need to sit a year if you transfer.

You can apply for a hardship waiver. He’s going to probably use the incident below and Georgia probably won’t challenge for PR.

“Before he said it [the alleged racial slur] he kept yelling, ‘put Justin Fields in’ and then when Fromm made a mistake he yelled out “put the n----- in,” Goolsby told the Washington Post.

I know. But how does a transfer year help Miami?

Unless there is a weird exemption, this kind of transfer comes with a huge amount of baggage, high risk and limited award for a coach already staring down the axe.

Georgia will probably challenge any waiver so I don’t think he stays SEC.

Teams cannot anymore prevent players from transferring to a specific school any more I believe

Johnson isn’t transferring. He’s a highly rated high school prospect.

Ah, so it's not really an NCAA decision as much as the final say belongs to the school. Is that right?

I think we’re at the “where there is smoke there is fire” stage. It wouldn’t surprise me if Fields does transfer. There was talk at one point that he in the running to start over Fromm. So things have not played out in his favor...

Hell, I thought Fromm might transfer when Fields signed. That’s how highly regarded Fields was. In a lot of rankings, he was ahead of Lawrence.

This. Rumors popped up weeks ago, then died down. Not saying he does transfer, but somethings up

to certain schools.

And he's not going to Miami. The Miami fans have already turned on Richt and want him fired/gone. The debacle over the DC has just brought more fuel to the fire. Richt's own ego and inability/unwillingness to adapt or change his offensive philosophy sealed his own fate.

Ohio State is the front-runner to land the services of former five-star quarterback Justin Fields, multiple sources have indicated to The Blade.

The true freshman backup at Georgia has alerted coach Kirby Smart of his intent to transfer. Ohio State coach Ryan Day is a primary reason for Fields’ interest in the Buckeyes.


Near the end of article mentions that the Georgia coach seemed to publicly blame Fields for the failed punt in the SEC championship game.

Probably not a good idea.

floating false rumors, that isn't exactly following you all over the board.

It would have been easier just to say you posted shit about Fromm from an unverified source instead of acting like he had a knee issue.

You still maintained he had an injury even though nothing was ever reported and he didn't miss a practice or a game.

Not sure how my getting laid is going to help you not pass along shitty info

Sanctions against Ole Miss for recruiting violations per the linked Chi Trib article.

And from the new NCAA transfer guidelines linked in the Trib article, if UGA doesn't oppose Fields' transfer, he probably gets eligibility.

If UGA does oppose, Mars may have to earn his money. Wherever that money may be coming from.

Thanks. If he uses the N word reason, I find it hard to believe Georgia opposes it because of optics. I guess unless he wants to go to Auburn or Florida.
