I don’t want to split hairs....

But I’m curious.... Why does ESPN keep saying that Justin Fields in the #1 QB overall, when he isn’t! It’s TL?????

On the ESPN recruiting I believe they had him ranked #1. Pretty much everyone else has TL ranked #1, Fields 2.

TL is #1 on Rivals and 247

Gatorade player of the year in his state, National Gatorade player of the year ,Leading all time passer in both yards an TD's in the history of Georgia high school football, Did I mention Fields is from Georgia ? He's not player of the year and isn't even in the all time Top 10 of Georgia.LOL The ONLY place Fields is #1 is ESPN.

Its that eSECpn bias.
Fields got his ranking through camps. TL got his with his
game performance. We're in a great spot.

When ESPN reranked their Top 300 right before the season, 8 out of the Top 10 were uncommitted. Gotta have people watching recruiting Nation every Thursday.

To be completely correct about it

ESPN never had TL as their #1 overall player.He was their #1 QB. Xavier Thomas was their overall #1 in August LOL Yep, in an effort to boost ratings for Recruiting Nation, they didn't only bump Fields over TL on their QB board, they also bumped him over XT on their overall board.

I believe TL was #1 until after The Opening...and TL's committment. That combo boost Fields to #1 because, intrigue and suspense sells. The known...that's yesterday's news.

Call Smart and ask him if he'll trade QBs with Dabo.

Baltimore Tiger is spot on.

Watch the film on YouTube. Fields is impressive but he is not a better QB than Trevor Lawrence. It’s not really even close. TL can make any throw and he can do it on the move. JF is not even in the same league as a passer but you can see that he is a freak athlete.

Doesn't really matter ....we got the best QB. Fields may turn out like Hines Ward or DJ Shockley, and rarely ever see the field as a QB. Kirby is building UGA like Bama and a pro-style QB suits his style better.

Not sure why folks get so worked up over something as arbitrary as recruit rankings. We know what we have in TL by watching video. Don’t need some egghead from the four letter network to tell us

Fromm is the starter for the next 2 or 3 years anyway.
Fields will be unstoppable in the wildcat.

Fields will not be "unstoppable" at anything. He may end up being a serviceable QB, but please save the "unstoppable" nonsense.
Again, UGA hasn't done squat for a very long time, and this anomaly season is mostly smoke and mirrors based in large part on a pathetic schedule.
Any other questions buddy?

With the threat of Fields running and swift, white, cook, in the backfield it's gonna be hard to stop. But whatever. Fromm is our starter for the next 3 years anyway.

Funny. Fromm would have the GA high school record by a mile if he would have played in as many games as Watson or Lawrence. He has the highest per game average in state history.

started. I am hoping it's Clemson vs UGA. I hope you guys take it to the Sooners.
UGA 30-1 odds
Clemson 22-1 odds
Bama 3.5 to 1 odds (weak)
Ohio State doesn't matter.
