He sat last year, so he has a good shot. Although, it will require a waiver since he's an undergrad transfer. If LSU really did suspend him, that will help as well, as they won't fight the transfer.

If he is eligible, I wonder how they'll use him because I don't think he'll beat out Brady White

If he's elgible his running skills make him very very valuable.

Valuable enough to earn playing time & give Brady a few minutes to catch his wind.

BINGO...We have a winner. With the offense we have coming back, although thrilled to have Parrish in the house, no way he takes over for Brady. Ain’t gonna happen.

It is a nice option to have...But if we decide to go wildcat let Gainwell and another back do it.

At this level knowledge of the offense is almost as important as skill level. All of our past three QB got better after having at least a season in the offense. A year in camp learning the offense and spring practice will be very helpful.

Apparently he is a runner, not much of a passer. Interesting, so maybe we will see a change coming in play calling philosophy with Silverfield. Of course that's a year away. He is definitely a read option guy.

If Gainwell has a good redshirt sophomore season then no way he stays his Junior and Senior seasons. A tailback's lifespan in the NFL short. You gotta get as much as you can.

Maybe as a WR but he seems a little small & light for a RB in the NFL

Not accurate his passing skills are the same as his running skill and speed. Can make ALL throws on the field at all positions. He is pass first QB that can run a 4.6 40.

We will be set at QB for the next 4 years with Brady this year and Parrish the following 3 years!!

There are plenty of horses in that running back stable!!!

He'll go in with the same role as Antonio Gibson and Tony Pollard. I thought Tony Pollard was too small to play rb in the NFL but that's just the way the NFL is evolving. The days of the 225-240 running backs are almost over.

Yep next man up. We need to keep getting guys to the NFL. That's part of the reason our recruiting is going to the next level.

Not true. He has a very good arm and he can run as well.

I still believe Adair will win job next job. He is big kid with big arm. Sad to see Sheldon Layman transfer. If I was a high school qb, I wouldn't come to Memphis. All they want you for is to sit in the QB room and have someone for the defense to hit.

Nah, of course he's not beating Brady. Brady will be a top 10 national guy this year.
It will be interesting to see how they play him, but I'm guessing he goes into competition for the back. Connor knows the playbook, so Peter will be playing catchup.

Do not think football in the fall of 2020
Think "possible" football in spring but most doubt it, if so all NFL bound players will not play because their bodies can't then go to NFL camps a few months later.
Think first realistic round of football is in 2021
Brady White among others will not be around, as well as many other players.
Huge concern around and with coaches now about two years of keeping teams together, focused and those willing to stick it out just to play football.

These are interesting times to say the least.

Yeah, if there's no Memphis football until 2021, then Brady is likely BOH. Only so long a 24-yr old, 6-year PHD student from Cali will stick around here. I'd be surprised if he's willing to stick around for a Fall semester with no football.
Which means qb competition starts as soon as an announcement is made to postpone.

Ike hearing rough news on the street, the big not playing
Now if the AAC had a pair they'd play the season and get major coverage for the league but,
They gotta play the games hopefully the Belt and others will take the same path

Is he already on campus? I don’t see him listed yet on the website’s roster
