JFDTiger80 790 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 One of the biggest free agents in college football history. He is a serious player with size. Will we consider him. Will he consider us. He would crush it at OK. Frankly, he will be terrific at most schools. This is huge news. So glad he is leaving UGA! Come to AU please. He was tied pretty tightly to Cam because of his 7 on 7 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddc 13,194 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 TODAY Highly touted quarterback Justin Fields has notified Georgia he intends to transfer, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the school has not yet acknowledged the transfer. Fields, who backed up Jake Fromm this season, was the No. 2 overall recruit in the country just a year ago in the Rivals.com rankings. Fields’ arrival at Georgia came with immediate questions about how he would fit in the program, as Fromm had quarterbacked the Bulldogs to the national title game as a true freshman. Georgia quarterback Justin Fields runs the ball against Alabama during the fourth quarter in the 2018 SEC championship game. Jason Getz, USA TODAY Sports As it turned out, Georgia never found a consistent role for Fields, who completed 27 of 39 passes for 328 yards and four touchdowns and had 42 rushing attempts for 266 yards. His most memorable play of the season came when he was supposed to run a fake punt against Alabama late in the SEC championship game with the score tied, a play that failed and ultimately paved the way for Alabama’s game-winning touchdown. Though Fields showed a few flashes of his talent, they came mostly in blowout games and it wasn’t clear that he had a path to more playing time next season with Fromm returning for his junior season in 2019. Fields was also the subject of racially bigoted comments made by a Georgia baseball player during a Sept. 29 win against Tennessee, which led to that player’s dismissal from the program after an internal investigation. Fields, from Kennesaw, Ga., just outside of Atlanta, arguably will be the most highly coveted transfer in all of college football. He is expected to appeal to the NCAA to be eligible this season. A message left with the Georgia athletics department was not immediately returned.

auskip07 930 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Its not like Fromm just came out of no where. Did he really believe he was going to unseat him?

JMO while I would love to have him at AU.....I'm not sure from what I've seen while he was at Ga, that he would be ready to play here. Looked more like Willis than I liked to see. ...well a better passer but maybe no better in decision making? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravejd 3,270 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 He would certainly change my outlook on AUs chances next year if he did decide to come here. Game changer type of talent. But he can go and start for probably 75% of schools out there so he'll have options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But our next coach Jeff Brohm Bo Nix fits his offense a lot better lol! Gus will most likely only be here for 1 more year so it is not too big of a deal.

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Gus and Kenny needs to jump on this this case really fast. I'd much ratheir have Fields then Hurts to transfer to Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AubFanCT 180 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Would love tp get him and give Bo a chance to redshirt and get acclimated to college skill level. However, no matter the skill players we bring in, WE NEED THE OLINE!!!!! Even Cam would struggle with our Oline. Games are won and lost in the trenches in the SEC and this season made that point even so painfully clear once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeBags7277 734 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Hoping we don't entertain the idea. He's a me-first prima donna who'll guarantee a divided locker room. Not a good look with all the other issues we're dealing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auburnfan91 1,407 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I doubt Fields comes here. I'm no insider and also don't keep up with recruiting but I think a smart move for Fields would be to LSU. Since he'll have to sit out next year, Joe Burrow will be a SR in 2019 so Fields would very likely be the favorite to be the starting QB for LSU in 2020.
