DEL.ICIO.USFormer Clemson recruit plans to tag along to UGA

Northside-Warner Robins defensive tackle Abry Jones, who committed to Georgia, said he would love to play in college with his high school teammate, linebacker Eric Fields. Both are AJC Super 11 selections.
However, Jones said while the two seniors are close friends, he will not put any pressure on Fields about Georgia. Fields has backed away from an early commitment to Clemson, and now says that he wants to take official visits with both the Tigers and Georgia.
“Eric is his own person, and he’s got to do whatever is best for him,” Jones said. “I’d love to play with him at Georgia because he’s a player who backs up what he says he is going to do on the football field. But he’s going to make his own decision.”
Jones said he plans to make an unofficial visit to Georgia for the Alabama game, and has invited Fields to ride along with him to the SEC showdown.

Why would anybody decent want to play football for clemson? They absolutely stink of mediocrity. Fans are total losers too. They just love to brag about their team, only to watch it go 7 - 4 every year and lose to any SEC team they may play. Just be glad if you’re a clemson fan you play in the acc. Maybe you can play Tennessee and maybe just maybe stand a chance.

I hope Fields and his buddy got an eyeful of that mockery that is the bulldog team. Hilarious!
