Per various media reports. I wasn't in favor of accepting this transfer based purely on the accusation of punching his girlfriend. I admittedly have done zero research on the circumstances of the incident. Anyways...he seems to be coming to The Ville.
DeVonte Fields IS transferring to UofL
- Thread starter Steelers2012_rivals379029
- Start date
Id rather not have him.
Everyone deserves 2nd,3rd, 300 chances, but the staff doesn't have to be that school.
'Hope he doesnt sneeze without using a tissue'

Huge, huge coup for this staff!! This isn't Sunday School guys. If he screws up here, he's gone; simple as that. This guy is an absolute stud.

I'm fine with it. If he screws up here he's gone. Simple as that!
When he's destroying olines and QB's next year we'll all forget about his past, if he can walk a straight line. I see it working out. Go Cards

Fields tweeted that he will walk a straight line and he's thankful and blessed to have this 2nd chance.
I'm excited about this pickup. He made a mistake and he's been forgiven. Who are we to harp on it?

There's a post on TOS from a TCU fan who seems to have a lot of insight and is certainly closer to the situation then most here. Basically says Devonte Fields is a great kid. Got caught up in a bad relationship and running with the wrong crowd. May have caught chickie bug w another dude...took a swing at the guy and may have accidentally hit her with brunt of the punch.
I trust TJ.
I trust CBP.
I trust TG...
Therefore, I trust Devonte with a second chance.
Go Cards!
PS...I'd copy the post and bring it here...not sure that is the right thing to do. Look for frogfan2000, seems legit.

Personally I would rather win with questionable characters then lose with choir boys. It's that simple.

I don't think we have to chose between winning and character. We've won with players with excellent character before. We're winning with such players now. I hope the kid has changed and learned but I don't want him representing the school I graduated from.
Agreed Zip.
My decision to renew my tickets will rest solely on this situation. Based on what I've read thus far, and including his twitter message, I find this very unsettling. I'll call it a disappointing turn in what was to this point a very optimistic start to 2015 for the football program.
Somewhere there's a line........

We lowered our bar when we took CBP back.
I was against it, and was soundly chastised for being unforgiving. We "HAD" to have CBP I was told.
He's ours now, I'm 100% on board with him, and if he's good with the guy, so am I.
Like Sound Slave, now all I care about is winning.
The High Road is getting smaller and smaller in our rearview mirror.
You need to get over the "baggage".

I was against this. There's being an idiot and there's beating down a woman. Huge difference between this guy and Michael Dyer, IMO. If it were your daughter, would your opinion be the same?
Anyway, he's transferring. So "the boots are on the ground," so I guess it's time to support the guy as a Cardinal. Wow I feel dirty typing that.
Agreed. His message "to all the haters" was just nonsense. What does he expect, people to love him and think it's great what he did? What he should say is "I made a horrible mistake and understand I that people have questions. I need to earn respect and I'm goign to do just that" instead of calling out "the haters."
Of course not, but she's obviously forgiven him. He made a terrible mistake that shouldn't happen, with anyone. I'm 100% against putting your hands on a woman.
I'm not going to stop being a Louisville fan because of one player.
Yes I will renew my season tickets. So I guess I'm just a complainer.
By the way do you still go to basketball games at the KFC Yum Center after complaining about it and its financing for years?
So it's a matter of how much money? Since you're not spending "much" money at the Yum Center you are morally superior to all of us who express an opinion in disagreement with an action taken by the university but still buy season football tickets every year. In my case that's two tickets plus the donation which comes out to about $900 a year. And in the interest of full disclosure I will occasionally buy a Coke at the concession stand. I'm glad I understand now.
