none of htis makes any sense anymore. you really gotta do a good job of evaluating kids (and their families) from now on. some are proving to be mental midgets in my mind, when it comes to competition level, or their ability to be "sold" by staffs that are full at certain spots.
everyone says the right things during the pitch. but when it comes down to brass tacs you find out what everyone is made of.
fact is, Fields should have never gone to UGA. competition or not, if you're THAT good, and the guy that's there is THAT good, there's only 1 football. something's gotta give. Martell's transfer is even weirder in that the incumbent is leaving. you're next. the transfer guy has to sit a year, so you have at least that year to put yourself waaay ahead. but what happens there? don't even try, quit before you start.
no different than when STewart and Manning both signed at TN. even waaay back then, we knew there was no way both qb's were going to stay. one was going to leave. i don't know how many more examples these prospects need to see before they wise up. you have the QB transitions that took place in the Big 12 between OU, TT, Baylor etc...the aTm QB trials and tribulations, now GA, OSU...we've seen it at BAma......and now twice at GA.
these blue chip QB's need start paying attention. the only time in their lives they're going to have the leverage is as a HS prospect. they have ALL the decision making ability and it seems more regularly than not, they make bad decisions.
