The OU situation is mainly attractive because of Lincoln Riley, who is probably already hearing from NFL teams. Day isn't going to guarantee him playing time.

An interesting fit would be Mississippi State, but I don't know how much of a bitch Kirby Smart is about conference transfers.

Oh how they would love that.

Make room for he and Solomon and I am highly likely to die from a priapism in the off season before I ever get to see Day rip their still beating hearts from their chests next fall.

Not relating this specifically to Fields at all, but this is the first time in years where I felt our incoming class was simply too small to get us to 85 in the fall. (Although who knows what surprises lie ahead.)

I wonder if OSU is consciously thinking of taking advantage of the more relaxed transfer rules.

I doubt UM would allow it, but there's no need to clear room. Their DT targets are not especially likely to join this class.

Not that there are any drumbeats of his interest, but the room is cleared for troll based transfer acquisitions

All I would need for my Schandfreude fix is the rumor or ask from the kid to transfer to OSU.

Some insider details - just the rumblings from our Athletic Department and what's come out since last night.

1). Transfer rules are different now. It's not a simple as fill out some paperwork and then you're gone. Fields has asked to have his name included in a NCAA approved transfer database. This allows anyone interested to reach to him and show interest. Justin (and his family) can then select who they want to speak with and a dialog can begin.

2). That said, if he doesn't like his options or doesn't think he's in a good position to succeed somewhere else, he doesn't have to leave and doesn't lose any eligibility if he stays at UGA.

3). His family has hired the same attorney that Shea Patterson hired that was successful in getting the NCAA to waive his "sit out year"

4). I admire how he's handling this. By all accounts, the young man did well in his grades his first semester at UGA and has been at practice all week. He intends to travel with the team and play in the Sugar Bowl. There doesn't seem to be any animosity here between he and the coaching staff. He just wants the chance to start and it seems like Jake Fromm is a four year player.

5). This is a wild trend:
