Justin Fields announces he will transfer out of Georgia

Thought he could beat out Jake, Fromm State Farm.

It isn't decided yet.  He and his father have met with Kirby several times recently.  If Fromm runs off 2 elite 5 star qbs,  he is officially a badass.

Fields at either Auburn or Florida is a terrifying prospect.

I thought that this thread was going to be about the various colors of artificial turf.

Doubtful they'd let him go to an SEC school.  Probably more like FSU or Clemson, something like that.

Alabama and Michigan both had highly ranked transfers announced today as well.  Coaches making room for Signing Day?

Fields could red shirt a year, instead of sitting out a year, and then likely start the year following if Fromm goes pro (which is not a sure thing obviously).

I guess he would not be going to Boise State.

He has not announced anything.  There are discussions about his future.

They can’t block folks anymore. I suppose they could put up a fight over the waiver, but that sounds unlikely.
In either case, the kid made an odd choice and reminded us why recruiting is mostly stupid.

Some chatter he could end up at OSU or PSU

who from bama has announced they're transferring? haven't seen it and can't find it on google machine or bama boards.

I googled "Alabama transfer" and this popped up.

Brandon Wimbush transferring to UCF, which also tells you something about Milton's prognosis.

Hurts to OU. Will be interested how he fits in that offense. 

It’s a reminder the rich get richer. They have a five-star freshman. Then there’s the top-200 and top-250 recruits in the 16 and 18 classes, so someone is getting a nice transfer or two out of that.

Yeah, weird fit for that offense.

remember the Belldozer?

I’m intrigued. 

Riley has schemed up a beast with super accurate dudes who can scramble. We’ve seen Hurts get schemed up to be efficient, but not efficient with absurd explosiveness. 

On the other hand, you could scale back the passing and have a true two-threat run game, which would be something.

OU saying if Kendall goes to WVU they will enforce the Big 12 rule and force him to sit a year.

Weak.

I won't blame the Sooners

and I enjoy blaming Sooners

Looks like OU caught some heat and backed off. Looks like Kendall is headed to WVU

 Thank God for a little bad publicity.

I think it was a knee-jerk reaction.  Like so many of that type, not well thought-out.  I'm glad OU backed off.  Good luck to him at WVU.
