Great. It’s out in the national media now. 

I’m about to break the swearing filter.

I might have to stay away from the vent and the vault until after Wednesday. This stuff is just filler talk until Wednesday. Fields is going to be a great player but all this drama isn’t worth it

I don't blame Fields, came in just to waste a year on a staff that was afraid to let him pass (unless it's an ill-timed fake punt that is).

[Dawgfanbrock 276]

Has to hurt with Haselwood? I agree, be gone and get it over with. Nice to do it two days before the early signing period. 

[blkbigdog35 5,373]

I be damm would really hate for Justin to leave!

[richham 801]

Life’s too short to sweat a Field’s departue. He might leave because he couldn’t beat out Fromm, a kid that almost won the natty as a true freshman? If any of this is true, then he’s not the kid I thought he was.

So now is Justin going to follow Haselwood to a particular school, or was all that talk about how influential one was on the other, just talk?

[Carter 12,569]

I’m just going to wait and see what the truth is. Fields has been at practice. This reeks of media jumping on a rumor too soon trying to be the ones who broke the story.

A lot of obvious bs being floated right now that doesn’t even deserve discussion.

They are close. No telling what that means for who plays where. We won’t find out on Haselwood until January. **** sure better find out about Fields asap. I’m about to cancel my ugasports sub over this crap. 

[Dawgfanbrock 276]

No idea on haselwood I was just asking

I don’t believe Yahoo breaks this story without it being nailed down.

This sucks!

They are literally all citing Wolken. Every single article that’s been put out. 

[Bdawg58 332]

Not one UGA beat writer or insider is confirming this. I just won’t believe it until it’s comes from a credible UGA source. Dan Wolken is a joke and is known for jumping the gun on stories. I guess it’s just a waiting game now 

[TheTrue7 2,067]

One person can squash it.. 

[jeffro2000 1,426]

Yeah, every article is still citing the one source from Wolken. I hope it isn't true. If he has been at practice then you have to question it.

We will see. If it isn't true I hope it gets squashed quickly now that main stream guys are reporting it. The news doesn't seem to be a shock to some insiders though.

Like Carter said, Fields could squash all this drama with a single tweet.  

Seems like at this point it seems like a statement is needed if it is indeed garbage. 

[TheTrue7 2,067]

Kinda feel sorry for all the kids that are committing.. taking the spotlight off them for this.. again..

Do you really think Fields would lie to the coaches about staying? Do you think his parents, with full knowledge of this and intention of him transferring, would then go to USA Today to start a campaign for the NCAA to rule him eligible immediately because of the racial slur incident? That’s the **** being floated right now. And Radi said that Trent Smallwood was told by a source that the family intends to use the racial slur incident to appeal for immediate eligibility.

Do you see how stupid this is right now?

He is a kid. That's the most important thing out of all of this. Kids change their minds all the time

[Dawgfanbrock 276]

God that would make this easier to swallow if that was legit, would be done with him and happy he’s gone

Yep. He needs to make a statement even if it’s saying he’s undecided and mulling options. His silence will start hurting the team real soon.

[mike teevee 1,164]

If he really is at practice it doesn’t seem like it is something that is happening. The timing of it, if it was happening, would be happening to hurt UGA right before signing day. Someone still hanging with the team doesn’t seem like someone who would be sticking it to us to cause damage like that.
