great gesture IMO

His Ohio State career will not be remembered for very much. Kind of a season where defensively, the team was a mess, they lost their best player, had a horrible loss at Purdue, and missed out on the playoff by a small margin.

But man, I think he is by far the best QB prospect to come out of Ohio State. He has what it takes to play at the next level, and be really good. I hope he ends up somewhere that will take good care of him, but I have a sneaking feeling the Bengals are going to do whatever it takes to land him.

Nice game by the Bucks last night. Little interesting towards the end, but they were able to hold off Washington.

I think OSU is in good hands with Ryan Day. I think he will make some changes but I fully expect him to keep this thing going.

I love Coach Meyer but lmao I did not believe a word of what he said last night. I believe he will coach again, it may be in a few years, but he'll be back if the situation is right.

Kind of a bummer that college football is basically over. I'm not really that excited about Alabama vs Clemson for the three hundredth time, but I will still probably watch. Feels like I always have a game the night of the national chip, but this year my night is clear to watch the game.

I think Clemson has a shot, but I still think Alabama should win the game.

Justin Fields, 5-star transfer quarterback from Georgia, is headed to Ohio State: Report

What is Letterman row?

So will he be eligible to play for us next year or does he have to sit a year?

Fields will petition the NCAA for immediate eligibility in Columbus, and would have a case based on a racial slur directed at Fields by a Georgia baseball player this season. The NCAA has become more lenient with immediate transfers in recents years. But that decision may not be final for some time. Michigan quarterback Shea Patterson took part in spring football last year after transferring from Ole Miss, but news of successful waiver for immediate eligibility wasn’t announced until April 27.

This would be a huge coup for Ohio State. Hope it becomes reality.

This is all but confirmed, wow what an opening statement from Ryan Day!

j/c:

I am a little surprised that the news about Fields probably coming to Ohio State isn't getting much attention on here. Dude was the number one prospect in the nation when he came out of college just a year ago.

I’m excited that we will hopefully transition from Haskins smoothly.
The truth is I know nothing about Fields other than he was highly recruited and such. Once he declared for Georgia I doubt most Buck fans, or any one else except Georgia fans, followed or cared.
My hope is he’s eligible to play next year and lives up to his pedigree.

Good post. I wasn't criticizing anyone. Just happy that we have a real shot at the nation's number 1 recruit coming out of HS in 2017.

Maybe this can inspire some conversation...

Probably more relevant.

Looks like he's a "run first" QB in the small sample size from his freshman season. Also looks like he's got a nose for contact and won't hesitate to run you over. Seems to have a real canon for an arm as well. See some Cam Newton DNA in this cat.

Will definitely be exciting to watch!

I'm excited... wish Haskins was returning but this is a good sign for Ryan day

Awesome. Now let's hope he can play this year.

Yep, this great news. Huge coup for Day and Buckeye nation.

Can anyone project which of the OSU QBs from recent years that Fields reminds them most, if any? Watching just a bit of the videos above, you can see bits of Troy Smith or JT Barrett. Maybe a little of Terrelle Pryor only with a better throwing arm, but a bit less acceleration as a runner.

Anybody else feeling like giving Jerry Emig thee Associate Sports Information Director, Football a phone call just to say hi now that we have his phone number?

The next tweet lol

j/c Wouldn't be overly surprised to see Martell go the Braxton route. We're losing a bunch of receivers. If Hill goes to the NFL, I could see Tate spending time in the slot to get him on the field assuming he doesn't hold off Fields. Fields eligibility is also still to be determined. Maybe we'll see some Kitchens/Landry-type plays in Columbus.

Wow, we just took Michigan's best position coach.

Greg Mattison and Larry Johnson on the same staff...what D-line prospect wouldn't want to go there?

j/c:

Man, a lot of big news w/Ohio State.

Not sure how I feel about any of it, although it was almost a guarantee that Haskins was gone.

Coach day has had a busy first week

Sad to see him go but he really didn’t have much of a choice.

Hes the real deal. I expect great things from him in the NFL. IMO, he was the best QB we have had in a long time.

Justin Fields almost legitimizes Ryan Day before ever even playing, if he;'s a stud Ohio State is staying on top. What a HUGE move.

Praying the dude balls out

Can't blame Martel. He was a highly-ranked recruit. Sure hope Fields will be permitted to play this year.

I dunno... he talked a lot of smack about fields transferring... I'm with you thwt I can't blame him for exploring his options but man kid talks a lot for not doing much icollege yet...
