Amusing to hear tv people saying Justin Fields is Georgia's "FIRST EVER" #1 overall recruit....

They seem to have all forgotten that Herschel Walker started the recruiting craze. He is STILL the #1 overall recruit in the history of recruiting.

yeah. some of the things done to recruit him would seem crazy today.
Wasn’t Trent Thompson the #1 overall recruit?
I think you are correct. Folks sometimes have short memories.
Maybe he wasn’t the #1 recruit in ESPN poll, and they just go off their rankings.
Trenton was per 247 composite I believe...that is more credible than ESPN.
What was Jacob Eason?
Eason and Thompson were.
I don't recall Eason. I think he was just the #1 QB. Rashan Gary might have been the top player.
Eason wasn't even the #1 QB, he was #2 behind Shea Patterson. You're correct about Rashan Gary.
You’re correct. I was thinking he was number 1 because he was the Gatorade player of the year.
I thought Staff was a #1 recruit.
A little off the topic, but if Fields decides to enroll early would that be a sign that Eason is leaving. I was thinking the other day that if Eason stays there is no reason for Fields to give up baseball for the last time because he would be 3rd in line in the spring. If he does make the choice would it be because Eason has told Kirby and that would put Fields at #2 in the spring with a chance to earn time on some packages. I personally hope he stays because I would prefer to have more than one solid back-up to Fromm going into next season.
Even if Fields enrolls this spring Jacob would still probably get more snaps in the spring compared to transferring to a school where he can’t play next season. I think he might see how things play out this spring and then make a decision.
