Thoughts about osu as leaders for justin fields?
Im sure a lot have read it now, curious as to what people think about that? I havnt watched much tape on fields is he more passer or runner or a true dual threat, I know he was #2 overall behind trevor Lawrence. And fields why not stay at uga and try to beat out fromm….
December 19th, 2018 at 9:51 AM ^
Of fucking course they’d be...
December 19th, 2018 at 9:51 AM ^
It sucks.
December 19th, 2018 at 9:51 AM ^
His mom makes the best fucking cookies in every mall in America. That's my thought...
December 19th, 2018 at 11:17 AM ^
In a class, I read a case study where his mom went to a bunch of banks to try to get a loan to start her cookie business. After being turned down by all of the banks, she asked the last guy what was going on. He said her husband called ahead to tell them to deny her loan. She had no idea. Just think what would have happened if Fields' douchebag dad was successful in stopping this business from ever being created.

He will have to sit out a year - so they will definitely be hurting at QB next year if (when?) Haskins goes pro.
December 19th, 2018 at 9:57 AM ^
His camp seems pretty confident that he will be granted immediate elgibility.....not sure how or why.
December 19th, 2018 at 10:01 AM ^
I read something the other day that his people were claiming "his personal safety" on and around campus as the reason he deserves immediate eligibility due to supposed racial slurs.
Just what I read...take it for what its worth
December 19th, 2018 at 10:24 AM ^
pretty sure there are racists in ohio
December 19th, 2018 at 11:11 AM ^
Pretty sure your right.
December 19th, 2018 at 9:17 PM ^
As a resident, I can guarantee it. And some of them even attend THeee ohio state university...
December 19th, 2018 at 10:03 AM ^
Yeah not sure how he would qualify for that... Shea had to go through a long process with good reason to get his granted.
I personally think it'd be a bad landing spot for him. Even if he does get immediate eligibility, he'll have to compete with Martell who has more experience in the system. If he has to sit a year, he'll have to beat out an returning starter... In that case he would be better off staying at Georgia, playing if Fromm gets hurt next year, and becoming the starter the year after.
If he's going for a playing time transfer, at least do it to a destination you know you'll be the starter... That's what Kelly Bryant was smart enough to do.
December 19th, 2018 at 10:06 AM ^
Seems sketchy that he would get a waiver - not closer to home for “family” reasons, and I don’t think a coach “lying” to you about playing time ranks up there with the campaign of lies that freed Shea and the other ‘Ole Miss players.
Still it is OSU, and given our recent run of luck I will choose to expect it to happen and be pleasantly surprised If it doesn’t.
December 19th, 2018 at 10:17 AM ^
yea I read on 247 he was gonna apply for waiver for immediate eligibility, was wondering how they expected to get that
December 19th, 2018 at 9:59 AM ^
Supposedly he is going to get immediate eligibility because of an incident with a baseball player calling him racial slurs.
December 19th, 2018 at 3:06 PM ^
That did happen. The baseball player got kicked off the team for it.
December 19th, 2018 at 9:53 AM ^
Fields was the #1 Dual-Threat QB in the class last year. From what I've heard from UGA blogs is that Fields didn't look all that great and Fromm elevated his game at the end of the season. Maybe Fields doesn't want to wait another year. I don't know. Seems like a odd thing to be doing when you knew what you were getting yourself into when you committed.
As for OSU, who cares. At this point, OSU could plug in a walk-on QB and he could still ball it up in that system. I'd prefer Tate for the next three years.
December 19th, 2018 at 10:33 AM ^
His best passing game was vs. UMass
It appeared that Fields was only on the field to appease him, or live up to a recruiting promise that was made.
I don't think hes in the same league as Smith, Miller, or Haskins
December 19th, 2018 at 9:54 AM ^
OSU QB commit Dwan Mathis flipped to Georgia.
December 19th, 2018 at 9:59 AM ^
That means Fields to OSU is more likely.
Of course, if he doesn't go there then they've screwed themselves out of both guys.
December 19th, 2018 at 10:00 AM ^
Whoa, who could have possibly seen it coming that Georiga would be able to pull a 4-star QB into their class after losing their back-up QB.
December 19th, 2018 at 10:01 AM ^
No 2019 QB for them... Mister Mathis is a wise man
December 19th, 2018 at 10:03 AM ^
When he was committed to MSU sparties were telling me Dwan Mathis was the next Deshaun Watson. I of course didn't believe them, but I'll be interested to see how his career turns out.
December 19th, 2018 at 9:55 AM ^
Is he a good passer, because Ryan Day seems to prefer a passer over more of a dual threat guy. I say this only because of the kid they have coming in from Oak Park (Dwan Mathis) (edit He flipped to Georgia)
December 19th, 2018 at 9:55 AM ^
He tried to beat out Fromm and couldn't.
UGA just flipped OSU's 2019 QB (Dwan Mathis), so I think Fields is absolutely a Buckeye and they are going to push hard to get him eligible immediately.
December 19th, 2018 at 9:58 AM ^
If Fields becomes eligible immediately with his preposterous claim of hardship from a perceived slight while at GA then the floodgates for transferring will be wide open
December 19th, 2018 at 10:01 AM ^
Was logging in to say this exact same thing .
If someone gets called a name and that makes them immediately eligible, you don't think every school in the country will start making up stories?
December 19th, 2018 at 10:18 AM ^
He's a freaking D1 athlete. Punch the guy who called you a bad name in the mouth and move on.
December 19th, 2018 at 10:06 AM ^
preposterous for enforcement definitely but that doesn't seem outrageous to me that a student should be allowed to leave for a hostile environment
December 19th, 2018 at 10:23 AM ^
One guy on the baseball team calls you a bad name and that constitutes an entire "hostile environment" that you need to be protected from?
I'm sorry, that's a stretch.
There are assholes in corners at every school. They don't define the entire school.
All the other GA players don't seem to be having "hostile environment" problems. Only the ones that got beat out by Jake Fromm.
December 19th, 2018 at 10:12 AM ^
This claim should be allowed only if charges are filed against the offender. Otherwise it's hearsay or a made up story.
December 19th, 2018 at 11:46 AM ^
Charges filed for what exactly?
December 19th, 2018 at 10:16 AM ^
Floodgates are already wide open. Patterson playing immediately set a precedent.
December 19th, 2018 at 10:43 AM ^
This is a little more than a "perceived slight". The baseball player was yelling from the sideline, "Put the N _ _ _.. in." This baseball player was subsequently kicked off the team and posted an apology online.
December 19th, 2018 at 9:56 AM ^
OSU is going to get elite players. Always have always will. As long as we get some too, just gotta develop them better and game plan better.
December 19th, 2018 at 10:05 AM ^
We seem OK at the developing part. As for the game plan part . . .
December 19th, 2018 at 2:31 PM ^
Did fine at the game plan part in 2016&17, just had QBs botch the game. Hoping we get back to that next year
December 19th, 2018 at 7:05 PM ^
Whatever the most recent thing to happen is, that becomes the new narrative around Michigan football.
December 19th, 2018 at 9:56 AM ^
I thought it was just a wild rumor at first but it might be more now as it's being reported that Kirby Smart is now trying to sway OSU's 2019 QB commit Dwan Mathis to Georgia before he signs with OSU. Keep an eye on if Mathis signs today or not. Needless to say, Fields to OSU would not be a good thing for us
December 19th, 2018 at 9:57 AM ^
My thought is that he's got to sit out a year before Michigan would see him. If he's really good, they only have to see him once then. I feel like he'd beat Martell, but i don't think Martell will ever throw a meaningful pass for ohio state. I have some georgia friends that honestly aren't that high on fields, and naturally not too broken up about him leaving. Honestly, just to be safe, I'd really like him to go to Oklahoma.
December 19th, 2018 at 9:57 AM ^
I don't care about the past few years and while this years game sucked, it doesn't take away the school and program are a piece of shit.
December 19th, 2018 at 9:57 AM ^
Georgia just flipped Dwan Mathis from OSU. Wow. Their qb depth is definitely thin as ice.
December 19th, 2018 at 9:58 AM ^
My OU buddy says Fields and 5-star GA WR Jadon Haselwood are a packaged deal. Haselwood signed a financial aid package with OU and Miami. If true, OSU is not in the running. Feels like another OU transfer into that prolific offense.
OU's recruiting haul on offense is crazy good this year.
December 19th, 2018 at 10:04 AM ^
What makes them a packaged deal?
December 19th, 2018 at 11:00 AM ^
I agree Fields would be wise to go to OU. Two straight Heisman QB's and the offensive numbers put up in the Big 12. Hard to pass on that. Plus fuck OSU
December 19th, 2018 at 9:58 AM ^
Georgia just flipped OSU's qb commit.
December 19th, 2018 at 9:58 AM ^
Historically, highly ranked QB transfers have not produced great results.
December 19th, 2018 at 10:02 AM ^
Shhhhhhhhhhhh.
December 19th, 2018 at 9:58 AM ^
He will likely land at OSU and be amazing for them. Such is life.
December 19th, 2018 at 9:59 AM ^
Not surprising. No one poops gold more than the Buckeyes. Lose your hall of fame coach to a lying and cheating scandal? Oh look, there is another hall of fame coach just waiting on the sidelines who also happens to have huge OSU ties and a ton of free time to recruit.
Lose your second hall of fame coach after a scandal laiden year? Don't worry, you have a five star DE in Columbus waiting for you and now the #1 recruit who fits your offense waiting to transfer. Its just gross, but such is life whilst in hell.
December 19th, 2018 at 9:59 AM ^
It would be terrible. Fields is a much better QB than Martell and would be an excellent fit in Day's offense. As Fred Jackson might say, "He passes like Dwayne Haskins and runs like J.T. Barrett."
