Yeah, if the goal is to limit transfers, I'd rather get rid of waivers before ending rewarding kids for graduating.  As much as I do sort of hate, from a fan standpoint, what it's done to college basketball.

So wait.. we can have a kid who GRADUATES (the goal in college) and penalize him, but Michigan and OSU and whoever else can get waivers for free agent QB's because they didn't like their old school??

I don't have any issue with what Fields did.  I would have recommended that to him personally.  Of course, I would also have suggested to him to go somewhere else because UGA had a crowded QB room with Jacob Eason there as well.  I suppose no one was quite sure how good Fromm would be at the time.

I think it's open season now.

Yeah, I think the last kids you want to penalize are the kids who actually earned* a degree.

Anyone would be good when their RBs run for 6 ypc in a run-first offense.
2017 top 3 UGA RBs' ypc:
6.0
7.9
7.6

2018 top 3 UGA RBs' ypc:
6.4
6.4
5.9

Actually, one of the more remarkable stats of last season were those UGA RBs.  They were both averaging 6.0 ypc 4 or 5 games into the season.  That number usually goes down, both due to more carries and tougher competition, but theirs went up a half yard.  That was very surprising and impressive.

Swift was playing hurt early in the year.  Holyfield was finding his oats in effect.  With the platooning, they were able to stay fresh late into the year I think.

I think Fromm is a better QB than just anyone.

I'd rather limit waivers/free agents than graduates, but if you've attained your goal in college and have your degree in hand, because of a scholarship at that particular university,........... wouldn't it be nice to also finish your athletic commitment to the university that held up their end of the bargain with a "free" education (degree)?? ??

Yeah, but Fromm was VERY good. He might be a little more complementary than a guy like fields, but he’s superb at that. 
The numbers weren’t as good, but Eason had Chubb and Michel behind him, and it was, well not great.

It would be nice. 
But it would be also nice to let principal agents do what they want and don’t force them to “be nice.” If the school/program offers reasons to stay, a kid will stay.
But weirdly, a lot of them don’t seem to. Or other places offer new and different  experiences. 
Now I’ll be interested if an unintended consequence is just more transfers. 
If I’m a second-year player not feeling settled in my situation now, I can gun it academically and possibly get my degree in time for a fresh start, and perhaps that extra two years or one year let me find my way/plac on my current team. But this just makes it more likely kids will try to look ahead too far and make their jumps.

I have no problem with graduate transfers. The school fulfilled its obligation to graduate the player. The player fulfilled his obligation to play for the school for 3-4 years and graduate.


As an undergrad at UW, I looked at going elsewhere for grad school. Not because I didn't like UW. It was because I thought it would be best for me to gain an additional perspective in my education and life. Anyway, I didn't go because I chose to enter the workforce. Not the NFL, however.

So INCOMING FR QB Jalon Jones entered the transfer portal (I hope he bought it dinner first) from Florida.


This has gone the full retard.  Jones ended spring practice behind the same 3 QBs that were on the roster when he signed earlier this year.

A. Phrasing maybe

B. Looks like the Florida kid had himself an issue of sorts with a lady. Guessing that had a little something to do with it.

Yeah, he may not be pre-law, but you can't just transfer away from sexual assault....
