Chandler will start the year out at RB1 I feel.I’m not completely convinced that Gray will be the sole guy at RB. Jordan and Chandler will still get plenty of reps. Chandler can still be very effective catching the ball. Hopefully Graham can help him develop his all-around game. Jordan will still be the short yardage back and pass blocking guy. I like all 3 of those options though. Let’s goooooo!!!!!!!
Pretty good overviews with projected starters listed below.
OFFENSE: Projecting Tennessee's way-too-early depth chart: Offense
DEFENSE: Projecting Tennessee's way-too-early depth chart: Defense
- QB: Jarrett Guarantano
- RB: Eric Gray
- WR: Josh Palmer, Ramel Keyton, Brandon Johnson
- TE: Austin Pope
- OL: LT Wanya Morris, LG Trey Smith, C Brandon Kennedy, RG Cade Mays, RT Darnell Wright
- DL: Aubrey Solomon, Emmit Gooden, Darel Middleton
- OLB: Kivon Bennett, Deandre Johnson
- ILB: Henry To'o To'o, Quavaris Crouch
- CB: Bryce Thompson, Alontae Taylor, Shawn Shamburger (star/nickelback)
- S: Jaylen McCollough, Trevon Flowers
Cade Mays attorney, Thomas Mars, is highly confident he will get a waiver. He seems to have a pretty good track record and a understanding of NCAA rules because he was contacted by the NCAA to help them remake transfer rules.No such thing as an easy waiver with the NCAA. It would not surprise me if they didn't allow any transfer waivers this year.
I understand and know all of that, problem is that this is not a normal year. Court system is going to be backed up because of this virus mess, NCAA eligibility center is for sure backed up. I just don't see much litigation being done by anybody the next 3 months and it's for those reasons that it would not surprise me one bit if the NCAA announced they would not be approving any transfers period, Mays included. The Eligibility center has over 100,000 student athletes they have to review each year and not nearly enough employees to handle that amount so it would not surprise me either way but I don't think it looks all that good right now unless his lawyer is already into litigation with them.Cade Mays attorney, Thomas Mars, is highly confident he will get a waiver.

Sounds like a lot of assuming.I understand and know all of that, problem is that this is not a normal year.

Really? You’ll begin to lose trust in Pruitt? I get you’re excited about HB.. I am too but Trevor Lawrence had the ACC POTY at RB and three first rounders on the D Line in a defense that held Bama to 16 points, Fields had a 2000 yard rusher and a similar defense with 3 first rounders, and Fromm had similar personnel around him. I know Bailey is gonna be a star for us but with the lack of spring training and Guarantano being familiar with the offense, I won’t blame anyone (especially a top 5 defensive mind of the modern college game) for playing a veteran QB in aN offense that doesn’t need a playmaker QB day one. That being said, I bet a change is made halfway through the season. But if you’re angry at Guarantano starting week one, I doubt you understand football all that wellFixed it for you. Seriously, if we trot Jg out there I’ll begin to lose trust in pruitt. Bailey played at the highest level of high school football there is and was amazing. The only other former QBs in ga football history that have similar number are desean Watson, Trevor Lawrence, Justin fields, and jake Fromm. All of them proved immediately they were legit. Plus, we’ll have the best line (and likely running game) we’ve had in years. So what greater opportunity to easy a freshman in than this year. You only get a super star talent in college for 3 years so why not start him right away. We’ve already seen what jg ceiling is and it’s low. Really low.

It’s not impressive that he outplayed 2 other 3 star freshman. As a redshirt junior.There is no reason to bash JG all offseason. He outplayed the other qb’s last season whether you want to admit it or not. He will start again unless one of the other guys step up.
If he thinks that JG gives us best chance to win then what’s your problem with it? If Bailey comes in and shows he is the better quarterback he’ll most likely start. You have no way of knowing who’s better this moment.Fixed it for you. Seriously, if we trot Jg out there I’ll begin to lose trust in pruitt.
