  How will the SEC play out this season? Phil Steele projects the full standings, including if Alabama will go undefeated.

Robertson spent the past two seasons at Calbefore announcing in June that he was leaving the program due to personal matters.

He had seven catches for 70 yards and two runs for 40 yards and a touchdown in two games last season before surgery for a lower-body injury ended his year. Robertson had 50 catches for 767 yards and seven touchdowns as a freshman for the Golden Bears in 2016.

NCAA rules require Robertson to sit out the 2018 season, though after sitting out most of 2017 Georgia could make a case for a waiver to allow him immediate eligibility.

If he's ruled eligible this year we will have the best WR corp in the SEC

ATHENS – Celebrated transfer Demetris Robertson can practice with the Georgia Bulldogs when preseason camp opens next week. Whether he will be eligible to play this season remains undetermined, however.

UGA officials confirmed Wednesday that NCAA rules permit transfers serving their “year in residence” requirement to practice with the team and receive financial aid. So the 6-foot, 185-pound wide receiver from Cal should be among the 105 participants when the Bulldogs hit Woodruff Practice Fields next Thursday.

As for this season, Georgia will seek immediate eligibility via a special waiver process approved by the NCAA only this past April. How long that process might take is unknown, however.

NCAA rules stipulate that a player transferring from one FBS institution to another must sit out a year before being eligible to play. But UGA is expected to seek immediate eligibility via NCAA Bylaw 14:5. That rule states that the year-of-residence requirement for transfers could be waived if it can be demonstrated “that the student-athlete’s transfer is due to documented mitigating circumstances outside of the student-athlete’s control and directly impacts the health, safety or well-being of the student-athlete.”

Neither UGA nor Robertson have revealed what those mitigating circumstances are in his case. Published reports citing a serious illness in Robertson’s family could not be confirmed. Robertson cited only “personal matters” for seeking a transfer.

Meanwhile, Rule 14:5 also states that the transferring student-athlete has to meet overall academic and progress-toward-degree requirements. As of Wednesday, Robertson was not registered for fall semester classes, according to the UGA registrar’s office. Classes begin on Aug. 8.

Robertson was a 5-star-rated recruit and No. 1-rated wide receiver prospect coming out of Savannah Christian High in the Class of 2016. He announced on July 14 his intent to transfer to UGA from the University of California-Berkley. He has since signed a financial aid agreement with the Bulldogs.

At Cal, Robertson was named a freshman All-American by USA Today after catching 50 passes for 767 yards and seven touchdowns. He scored two touchdowns in his only two games of last season on a 34-yard run and a 33-yard reception. But he sat out the rest of the season with what was described by the San Francisco Examineras a “sports hernia” injury. He had postseason surgery and was granted medical redshirt status for the 2017 season, the newspaper reported.

Y’all are blessed I didn’t know this thread existed or it wouldn’t have made it past first page

God help Smart if we have more than one RB and he can’t have their shoulders kicked out

What have they been saying about Fields so far?

 

[pete clemenza]

Is Jake Fromm still the starter?

What have they been saying about Fields so far?

Great athlete, the team loves him, coaches will find a way to get him on the field ALOT

Is Jake Fromm still the starter?

Yes solidly. They'll compete but Jake's not only the QB but he's also the emotional leader of the team. Fields is a beast, but he's not unseating Jake
