Georgia OL Cade Mays transfers because his father's pinky got amputated at UGA event
If you thought Fields' transfer was fishy, what does this smell like?

For those of you counting at home, that means Georgia is seeing 4 OL starters and Fromm leave the program early, after the OL coach took the Arkansas HC job.
Kirby Smart sure can run people off.

He'll request immediate eligibility based on the fact he wants to be closer to his now physically disabled father.
At least that's what I'd do if I were Cade.
January 8th, 2020 at 8:18 PM ^
Or he could stay to be closer to the pinky.

A mechanism first exploited by Stonewall Jackson's son who also transferred out of Georgia.
January 9th, 2020 at 5:02 AM ^
I'm not sure if the OP realizes this, but we have 5 Olineman leaving, and a QB leaving also.
January 8th, 2020 at 8:18 PM ^
Mays was a five-star true freshman that started every game for them this year. Smart sure as hell did not run him off.
Mays is from Knoxville and his younger brother, who UGA did not recruit, just signed with UT. He's probably homesick and wants to play with his brother, and UT probably improved enough this year that they became a viable team to play for.
January 8th, 2020 at 8:26 PM ^
True or not, that’s the kind of comment I scroll to read. Nerds.
January 8th, 2020 at 8:28 PM ^
well according to the tweet the family is suing UGA so i doubt it's only that.
also, this apparently happened BEFORE the kid committed to UGA... 3 years ago!
he should be able to just transfer without the absurdity.
January 8th, 2020 at 8:45 PM ^
Wait, this happened 3 years ago?
January 8th, 2020 at 9:04 PM ^
it happened on december 15, 2017. cade committed five days later. here is a picture of cade's announcement. you may notice something here.

Things noticed:
- His mom
.
.
- Still his mom
- A Notre Dame helmet? Did ND lose out on him? Hahahhahahaha!
- A brother who has had his game of Fortnite interrupted to attend this stupid ceremony
- Other irrelevant stuff
January 9th, 2020 at 6:44 PM ^
I bet that's his high school helmet.
January 8th, 2020 at 9:34 PM ^
If this happened before he committed, it clearly does not affect his desire to be at Georgia.
January 8th, 2020 at 10:33 PM ^
Or maybe Georgia isn’t coughing up enough dough to compensate pops for that pinky.
January 9th, 2020 at 3:52 AM ^
They are also suing the chair co. The chair co. manufactured what was effectively a finger guillotine machine.

January 8th, 2020 at 8:25 PM ^
UGA has amputation events? That would make me consider leaving too. They do things a bit diff'rint down south...
January 8th, 2020 at 8:29 PM ^
....and their Director is Lorena Bobbitt!!!
January 8th, 2020 at 8:29 PM ^
Fingers... they just mean less.
January 8th, 2020 at 8:36 PM ^
Rollie disagrees.
And so did the Baseball HOF voters.

Little known fact, HOF pitcher Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown was also a uga player.
He left the peach tree state to pitch for the cubs after Uga III chewed up his right hand during a friendly game of fetch...

I wonder if Jim Abbott tussled with a wolverine in AA...?
January 8th, 2020 at 9:06 PM ^
You have ten of ‘em vs. just one.
January 8th, 2020 at 8:33 PM ^
This should be the new standard for allowing someone to transfer

January 8th, 2020 at 8:38 PM ^
It's sorta funny how a lot of programs are seeing just as much, if not more, attrition than UM and yet Harbaugh's the one you see people talking about running people off. Hell, something like 1/3 of Florida's class from last year is gone already.
January 8th, 2020 at 9:07 PM ^
Because those are trolls doing that.
January 8th, 2020 at 10:04 PM ^
Thank you McMurtry. Those people are all trolls, hence their unrelenting attacks.
January 8th, 2020 at 10:46 PM ^
Trolls? I had to beat StephenRKing down with a stick in the other thread. He and another poster were discussing the merits of Penn State's (!) fine attrition vs. the poor distrubing attrition at UofM. Yes, the Penn State that had a kajillion people transfer last offseason, including their presumed starting QB.
Now I personally don't believe PSU has an attrition problem, not more than anybody else - remember Ohio State came within an NCAA waiver decision away from playing popcorn at quarterback this year -, but to say that Michigan has a problem and PSU does not is a joke.
People are angry about losing and looking to blame something. It mucks with their reason. Yes even good posters.
January 8th, 2020 at 9:19 PM ^
Georgia’s offense could be terrible next year. They need to find 4 new OL. Both top RBs are leaving early. And now Fromm is gone, which seems odd, until you consider all the other talent leaving around him.
January 9th, 2020 at 5:07 AM ^
Well if anyone can do it, they can. They are #3 in National recruiting this year, #1 last year, #2 in 2018, and #3 in 2017 I believe. They'll be OK.
January 9th, 2020 at 11:45 AM ^
All those recruits, and they can't even win their conference. Maybe Steve Wilfong should check in on them.
January 9th, 2020 at 9:14 AM ^
Bill Belichick is happy. Loves them GA players. Odds that Fromm gets past the Pats in the draft?
January 8th, 2020 at 8:43 PM ^
Poor guy.
January 8th, 2020 at 8:55 PM ^
There’s something fishy going on, I just can’t put my finger on it....
January 8th, 2020 at 9:00 PM ^
Neither can his dad.
January 8th, 2020 at 11:36 PM ^
Nailed it!
January 8th, 2020 at 9:04 PM ^
This is less embarrassing than the fields excuse.
ill preface it with this, I’m a black guy. It’s crazy, but I’ve been black all my life. I was the only black kid in my grade for seven years.
fields using the fact that someone in the stands used the n word is nothing short of embarrassing. For better or worse, I got into my fair share of fights as a kid after someone dropped the “n-bomb”. Hell, I got sent to the principals while the other kid got a talk about embracing differences. Even then, leaving school never even crossed my mind (probably because my parents would’ve given me a whipping if I had even accidentally thought about thinking about leaving).
point is, fields using that as an excuse is outright disgusting and an embarrassment. Too many people stood in the face of much more and lost damned near everything, while you have fields bitch ass playing it like a draw 4.
Fuck fields and Fuck osu.
*steps down from soapbox*
January 8th, 2020 at 9:09 PM ^
The UNO reference: well done sir. Holding it for the time the guy in front of him had 1 card left.
January 8th, 2020 at 10:10 PM ^
We should just let everyone transfer once and be done with the charades. Anyone who's ever been to Columbus, or seven miles outside of Columbus, knows that there is no shortage of racists in Ohio. Fields' excuse was paper-thin, but he really shouldn't have needed one.
January 9th, 2020 at 9:24 AM ^
that's probably why Fields never stepped foot in columbus save gameday.
January 8th, 2020 at 10:38 PM ^
i saw this when i was looking up this cade mays story and couldn't help but read it. i have no idea if it's true but figured some would want to address it:
Justin Fields' lawyer: NCAA waiver had nothing to do with racism
"Irrefutable documentation that has nothing to do with racism was presented to the NCAA in support of OSU’s request that Justin Fields be given a waiver," Mars said. "That information wasn’t critical of -- and didn’t reflect poorly on -- the UGA culture, the UGA administration or staff, any particular student, or the student body. And it certainly didn’t reflect poorly on Justin or any member of his family. However, that documentation did provide support for the issuance of a waiver under the NCAA’s rules."

This may have to do with his sister staying there
January 8th, 2020 at 11:13 PM ^
interesting... do you mean to make it seem acceptable for the sister to stay, or appease UGA, or something else? just curious, i didn't consider the sister remaining a potential factor.
January 8th, 2020 at 11:30 PM ^
It seems like there would be a loss of credibility if his argument were that the culture at Georgia made him feel unsafe, but his sister is fine there.
January 9th, 2020 at 10:09 PM ^
Mars: The transfer had nothing to do with anything that would make anyone look bad in any way. The real reason for immediate eligibility is based on irrefutable documentation.
Reporter: So what was the real reason?
Mars: Can't tell you that... Super secret... But it's ironclad, and it's really real...
Reporter: Thanks Tom.
January 8th, 2020 at 9:08 PM ^
He really gave them the finger!
January 8th, 2020 at 9:26 PM ^
Sounds like a perfect waiver reason for a free transfer to O$U
January 8th, 2020 at 9:33 PM ^
Took em a long time to discover they miss that pinky.
