    What I want to know is how they handled the elephant in the room, Jake Fromm.

    Kirby's been doing this awhile though. Surely he's well versed into how to skate around the issue, emphasize competition while also talking about how great the current recruit he's going after is...

    Fields said he wants to see how much playing time Fromm gets. If he doesn't get a lot of playing time, he feels he'll be neck and neck in the QB battle to take over after Eason leaves. If Fromm gets a lot of playing time, and does well, he'll probably go to FSU. If Fromm doesn't play well, he'll probably feel he has a good shot to beat him out. This was said months ago, so he may realize he can't see how the whole season play out with Fromm before he commits. That is, if he wants to help build the class at the school he chooses.

    It said earlier that the fields watched the fight with the other team members. If they were blowing Georgia off would they watch the fights after dinner? Have not heard if this was true or not so looking for the positive.

    KS and JF's family had dinner that night. IMO, it was either A) JF and his family saying we are committed to Georgia B) JF and his family giving KS the worst scenario and saying that chose FSU C) More pitches to JF's family. Either way, I know I created the 3 choices because you were probably thinking B). If JF and his family told them that they were going to FSU, JF wouldn't want to watch the fight with the Georgia players.

    No Crystal balls moving, so the experts see no difinitive change to their opinion. Do think the meeting this weekend, the Sept 3rd father refrence to a possible decision, does mean a conclusion close at hand. Fields where ever he goes to play just has to be good enough to become opt 1. Jake Fromm just has to be better Opt 1 if Fields comes. Injury's part of the game, next man up is important, you want a excellent quarterback room if your a great competitor. No doubt these men are alpha competitors.

    Again, I've said this about the CBs for JF. If you look at the insiders, a majority of them are out of region. I don't read into any CBs for JF unless they come from an ACC or SEC insider. Some of these insiders jump on the CB bandwagon and choose the school that is already leaning in favor for the recruit. At the end of the day, it's just a point system. Are you going to believe in a CB that came from some guy out in Illinois or from a SEC insider?

    Or you could just follow the visits and recruits and know that JF loves Georgia and all of his package deals are committing to Georgia. ;)

    If CKS was looking to change his mind from commuting to FSU he would have driven himself out to Kennesaw.

    This^^^.

    Kirby would've been at Field's doorstep the millisecond his school bus returned from Rome if he was making a last ditch effort.

    This is an extremely promising sign to me...you think there werent countless fight parties the Fields family coulve been attending? And like someone mentioned earlier, you don't spend 4+ hrs with someone who you plan on giving bad news.

    Fields mind is set to Athens, and an **** two first games is the only thing I see changing that

    Bag it and Tag it Boys. Its a done deal.

    Everyone here brought up great points. If you take the devils advocate POV and really think about how this visit could have been a negative it ends up not making any sense. Its pretty clear this was a very good visit.

    Spent all day in Athens Apparently:

    Went to practice and watched our dawgs work (prob spying on fromm)
    Then went to dinner with fam and KS
    Then chilled ALL night watching the fight with the GA Boys (that fight ended at like midnight)
    Long drive home feeling all warm and fuzzy inside (had dreams of red and black)

    Get er done did, flip er over and doer again. Fields is GA bound. There is no way anything was negative in this visit. Good move on CKS and team for getting this visit arranged prior to the game this weekend. I'm willing to bet it was a silent commit weekend. "Hey Coach I want you to know I'm GA bound and to not worry"

    Well that puts the Bulldog fan in a precarious situation. So now the best path is that Fromm does poorly?

    I tell you. If anyone sees a Florida State sweat band anywhere near Justin's twitter page before he announces, there could be incidences of fan violence break out.

    Fields was in Athens. Watched Saturday's practice.

    That makes it HUGE. Watch practice, dinner and the fight. With travel that must have made it 12-16 hours! That's more than exchanging pleasantries. GO DAWGS

    I received lots and lots of hate months ago when I stated "Fromm is a career number 2 QB".

    Well, the fact is Fromm just doesn't have the velocity against SEC Defensive backfields to make all the throws.

    SOZ Fromm fans, just the way I see it.
