INB4 they guy in the Hilliard thread says Hill is better than The Diesel and Fournette.

Even Hill's criminal accomplishments are nothing compared to Diesel's.

But seriously. Collins rushed for 3,046 yards and 40 TDs to lead Leesville to the 4A finals. A lot of people dismiss how good he was because he was held in check in the title game and Leesville got smoked.

BUT ...

How has Leonard done in the Dome (he hasn't been)?

And THREE THOUSAND yards and FORTY TDs. Chew on those numbers for a few minutes before you dismiss Cecil's high school career. Cecil was sort of lost out there in central Louisiana and didn't get the exposure Fournette gets. A lot of people saw him play once, in the Superdome when he was successfully defended by Salmen (73 yards) in a 39-7 loss.

But Fournette was held to 100 yards on 25 carries by Karr in a loss in the quarterfinals and hasn't been to the dome. And I'd argue Leonard's St. Aug teams are better than Cecil's Leesville teams. Aug's got some talent. Leesville kind of rode Cecil as far as it could go and might not have been a .500 team without him. They're also comparable in that they are both 4A schools (though Aug's playing up now).

So edge right now to Cecil. But Fournette still has a senior season to play and if he has a special year, he'll be the greatest, I think.
