My question is: Granted his "old man" can easily afford the tuition, etc., but regardless, would a 3 star QB turn down a full ride scholarship at Colorado State and walk on at Georgia (who already has a crowded QB room of 4 & 5 star guys)?

Southern kid / family... Ft Collins isn't exactly center of the world... tuition is nothing... dad's alma mater... assuming fam is in SC, a lot closer and more accessible than Ft Collins 2hrs from DIA w/traffic + 2hr lead time + 3hr flight ... stays in the SEC...
Georgia academics > CSU.
There's a lot that makes sense to me.
Maybe if it was one of the directional FL schools...

In Forbes.com Ranking, Fort Collins-Loveland Area Makes Top Five

According to a new Forbes.com listing, Western cities—including the Fort Collins-Loveland region and Denver—are among the best places to do business in the country.

The survey ranked 200 of the largest metro areas on the costs of living and doing business, projected job growth and crime rates.

Fort Collins is located at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in northeastern Colorado, about 65 miles north of Denver, on the Cache La Poudre River. It offers a small town feeling with the big city attributes that baby boomers crave. It also fits the bill if you are looking for a college town. Colorado State University is located in Fort Collins, and its more than 20,000 students bring vitality to this community that’s located 5000 feet above sea level.

Fort Collins has been recognized as a great place to live, work and play. A &E television rated Fort Collins one of the “10 best Cities to Have It All,” Money Magazine ranked it, “one of the top ten best places to retire,” MSN.com rated Fort Collins as one of the “Top Five Places to Retire,” and Loveland/Fort Collins is the number one, “Best Place to Reinvent Your Life,” according to AARP magazine.

A proud tribute is being ranked number one in Money magazines “2006 Best Places to live.”

Major employers include names such as Hewlett-Packard, Agilent Technologies, Anheuser Bush, and Waterpik Technologies.

With 300 days of sunshine, low humidity and outdoor activities that include hiking and biking on 22 miles of trail and resort skiing (a 2 to 4 hour drive ), this Colorado town is enticing. If sports are your passion, take a short drive to Denver and watch the Denver Broncos, Colorado Avalanche, Colorado Rockies or Denver Nuggets.

Poudre Canyon is a great spot for whitewater rafting, kayaking, camping, fishing and hiking. Visit Rocky Mountain National Park and view elk, mule deer, black bear, and more, or enjoy mountain hiking. The popular ski resorts are Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, and Keystone are just a few hours away.

and the academics at either school depends on what you major in and how much effort you put into it. However, if his priorities are wanting to be closer to his home/family and (possibly) staying in the SEC than actually being a starting college QB, then I can see him just going to Georgia.

It's definitely a great play to live and have family. Perfect mix of just-big-enough city, things to do, community, and mountains.
But it's not ASU if you know what I mean... different culture for a Southern kid... far from home and support... and more like a MAC school in terms of degree programs.

More likely there’s a girlfriend/boyfriend involved in the equation. NTTAWWT, of course!

Linebacker Keandre Jones spent three years at Ohio State — on special teams and as a backup.

Things changed dramatically for Jones when he used the Transfer Portal last year to return to his home state and play for Maryland.

Jones became a 2019 Team Captain, an Honorable Mention All-Big Ten selection, and a Third-Team Phil Steele All-Big Ten player. In tackles for loss, he led Maryland with 15, which ranked 27th in the nation and seventh in the Big Ten. And he led his team in sacks, forced fumbles, and quarterback hits.

“I stuck it out for as long as I could and once I saw I had an opportunity, just like a coach would to get the chance to make the best of my situation and my career, and knowing that I want to play in the league, I can’t get to the league just playing on special teams,” Jones said. “Unfortunately things didn’t work out at Ohio State, but at the end of the day you only have one life to live and you got to take advantage of your opportunities.”

What would his college football career have looked like had he stayed at Ohio State? Nobody knows the answer to that. But Jones wasn’t going to take that chance.

Jones is just one example of an athlete who changed the trajectory of his career using the transfer portal.

Before the opening of the transfer portal in 2018, of the 11,792 FBS football student athletes in all divisions, only 4.1 percent transferred from four year institutions to other four year institutions according to data from the NCAA.

Transfer portal records show 1,720 FBS student-athletes entered the portal from October 15, 2018 to July 31, 2019. That was more than one out of every 10 players in the FBS.

But not all student-athletes transferred, around eight percent, or 143 of those student-athletes withdrew their names from the portal and remained at their institution for fall 2019.

Wonder how that conversation went such that it was considered ‘mutual.’

I’m not sure how Frost can lose a player like that and be OK with it.

Spielman took a personal leave from the Husker football program announced by head coach Scott Frost on Mar. 2.

Apparently they didn't "see eye to eye" on something and a transfer was the best course of action for both parties.

Just sayin': His family lives in the Minneapolis area, especially if he can get a NCAA wavier to play without sitting out a year (and his family can easily afford a good lawyer) the Gophers (with Tanner Morgan coming back at QB) might really be a good fit. I'm sure he could probably "row the boat" too.....:biggrin:

LOL, yeah... I was thinking that the Gophers were a likely candidate. While I didn’t say it in my initial post, I wonder if the disagreement stems from his desire to get a waiver and Frost not wanting to give it to him... and it became a mutual “Efff you, I quit...” “You can’t quit, I’m throwing you off the team...” thing.

Like @Jaxbuck said, if we weren’t already loaded, talent and name would be nice to have in Columbus.
