No shame in losing a recruit to OSU or Bama if you’re PSU, but Duke, SoCar, and Mizzou,

Sounds like the NW transfer may be ready to supplant Mcnamara. Or at least some iowa fans are ready to move on.

Wasn’t there a big racial slur lawsuit over his transfer and then getting immediate eligibility because of it?
There was a racial slur incident. The interesting part was the kid who said the slur was a baseball player at Georgia. He was suspended immediately and he transferred to North Greenville University. That was all done to try and keep Fields at UGA.

I don't know if there was an actual lawsuit, but it was the reason that Fields gave for leaving and the NCAA granted him immediate eligibility as a result.

Fields never filed a public suit. He lawyered up and got immediately eligibility when he transferred but none of the proceedings were public. It was reported that Fields and his representatives used the incident to get an exception from the NCAA.

well the incident was that the UGA baseball player shouted "put that n****r in the game" from the stands in reference to Fields. Fields didn't actually hear the slur himself but apparently felt unsafe on campus afterwards. The whole thing was dumb

Didn’t his sister also attend Georgia on a track scholarship or something?

Softball. And she didn't start there until after JF felt unsafe on campus...
And his younger sister just committed to Michigan for basketball. Their parents should buy a boat with all of that college tuition savings.
