This very well could be how it goes down BUT I didn't see McMillians name mentioned. I know it's a hard thought to process for most, but this guy is a big sleeper recruit. He is overshadowed by our QB drama and higher rated recruits but make no mistake...he is the real deal.
If Harris takes care of business then we may never see him, but if not Justin may get his shot in 2016 while Franks RS. Down vote away if you need to but info came from very high on the food chain.

Harris will play until at least his junior year (2016)

Franks will RS that year

If Harris goes pro early then Justin will be the guy for a season IMO

If Harris stays till senior season

Justin should very much RS this season. Could play huge later. Which is why we need Jennings to back up Harris this year to allow that RS.

By RS Justin could very well get his turn to be a very veteran starter (Redshirt Senior) if Harris stays till senior season and then Franks starts for 2 seasons and goes pro.

I have always envisioned this scenario that while the others may be on another talent level, McMillian is a guy that is willing to wait his turn and very well be the perfect transition to keep us a national title contender just by experience in the system. Like how Flynn was a one year starter.

It's late and the math may be off but if Franks starts as a RS freshman and RS sophomore then goes pro.. Because he's that good. Then Justin is the perfect guy to fill in that final year and we can still be serious contenders. He would be a RS senior

I just really like the idea of red shirting all freshman quarterbacks because it gives time to develop and far more options. Even if guys like Franks leaves early you still have guys like Justin ready. That one year starting would have made his wait all the worth it. Could be so special.

I agree with you. That's why I didn't mention him. He is a sleeper that could be a Manzel type QB, not Manzel, but a Manzel type.

I agree, McMillian may come out of nowhere to get some PT, Kid looked great during spring Game. Seemed like he had control of the O.

I was talking to a friend of mine and he asked how the QB's did in the spring game. I told him that I remember a bunch of great catches by the wide receivers, but only remember one throw from a QB. McMillians pass to the tight end over the middle.

Cam was "gifted" Jennings and because he came here from the NFL he had no longstanding relationship with any of the high school QB's so he had to take what he could get his first year.

He saw that Harris has the physical tools but was raw. So he convinced Brandon to come to LSU thinking he could coach him up on the things needed to run his system.

I really hope things click for Harris, but if not McMillian played pretty good in the spring game for someone with so little time in the system.

McMillian is Cam's first QB that he had time to really study and build a relationship with he knows McMillian can run his system and Justin has the summer and fall to get bigger and better.
I'm really not that worried about this year, 2016 or 2017 then we got Franks and Dinkelmann coming in.
