If Hill/Mathieu Had Stayed
Posted on 2/19/14 at 12:31 am

Was taking a break from writing a paper and watched the Jeremy Hill highlights.
For this question I'm only going to use Hill and Mathieu.
If Jeremy Hill and Tyrann Mathieu had not left early/got in trouble.. If they had stayed at LSU for all 4 years. Where do you think they would have ranked all time as Tigers?
LSU has had some amazingly gifted players the past couple years. Next couple classes look pretty special as well.

Hill would have been the best running back in LSU history if he stayed all four years.
He's the best running back since Faulk as is, playing two seasons. And he's probably a better true running back than Faulk was.

Hill has the potential to be a VERY good pro, IMO. He's my pick for the best LSU RB of the Miles era. Hard to say where he would be placed if he had stayed though.
If Mathieu had never gotten in trouble I honestly think we win a title in 2012 and he gets mentioned from then on as a Tiger legend.

Any second now the assholes should start chiming in. 3...2...1....

They both may very well had been the best offensive and defensive players LSU's ever seen, assuming they both have the pro careers I think they'll have.
It's funny how quickly people forget just how tough of a break it was for Les to lose the badger before the 2012 season. He was a touchdown swing without question, and we lost all three games by less than a TD

Tyrann is easy. In the two years he played he accomplished more than nearly any defender I've ever seen in P&G. IMO only Dorsey and Peterson accomplished more (ETA: in recent history).
Had he played two more years he would have easily been the best defensive player in LSU history.
Hill is the best back that we've had in over a decade, but I think it probably stops there with him.

TM7 is already in the top 5 imo. Would have finished #1

Hill- would be in the top tier of Tiger running backs overall, alongside Hilliard, Faulk, Cannon, and Alexander. Great company to be in. I'd already put him there, to be honest.
Mathieu- it's a real shame there will be the asterisk/stigma attached to his name. As a player ONLY, he has to go down as an all-time great here. A basketball analogy (college only) would be Mathieu= Chris Jackson; incredibly explosive playmaker who is on another level than anyone else on the field, each game. Seriously- you'd be surprised if he DIDN'T have at least one turnover or TD, in every single game.

TM7 was invited to New York. As a Heisman nominee, he's automatically GOAT in his position - regardless of how he left.

Mathieu is already one of the GOATs on defense imo

Hill- gives Faulk a run for his money if he stays all four years. Even in the current running back by committee system.
Tyrann Mathieu- Heisman Finalist. Greatest of all time at the position and perhaps on that side of the ball.

Tyrann ranks as one of the all time greats for sure. Just wish we could have seen him again
