I have heard from someone who claims to be "in the know" that Hill was leaning towards returning.. the reason being that NFL teams had concerns with his off the field character issues. He wanted to prove he was on the straight and narrow and improve his draft stock. Granted, this was before the bowl game where he went for 200+ and 2 TDs.

Personally, I think he's gone.

Well, it all depends on if someone convinces him he'll go in the top 3 rounds. I saw an early draft guide on NFL Network's site that had him going in the 5th round. If that's the real projection I think he has to think about coming back.

As a Tiger fan, I would love it if he came back.

But, if he did come back, he should really have his head examined. These days, even the top backare dropping into to 2nd round and the last few 1st round RBs haven't set the league on fire.

He's be a fool not to get paid as soon as he can.

I don't know, it seems like Ingram might be the last RB to get that trophy for awhile. Too much love for the QB position.

It's okay, just relax. Having a mental health problem is not the stigma it used to be!

And imo, he'll do what Les Miles advises him to do just to payback the man who gave him another shot, his third, this past season. just imo though


I read that he actually was trying to talk OBJ and JL stay one more year. While I understand why they would leave as their QB is gone, I could see JH staying. I read where he felt he owed CLM and the fans for all of the grief and trouble he caused.

I cannot imagine LF and JH (and TM)... What a stacked running back group. Hill for Heisman!

The only and I mean only thing that would keep Hill back is if he weren't allowed to leave the state as terms of his probation.

If that actually does happen -- and it very well could -- then he couldn't be drafted by anyone besides New Orleans, which would almost certainly mean he wouldn't get drafted. (Why would you, as the Saints, burn a draft pick on him when you know he'll be there to sign as an undrafted free agent with nowhere else he can legally go?) He would almost certainly come back under those circumstances so he could actually get drafted when his probation ends.

That said, I don't see it happening.

Or like the last 3 football off seasons for him he could have off the field issues. Hopefully no matter what he does that isn't the case.

If he comes back, he would certainly be seriously considered for the Heisman and I'm sure LSU would push it hard...for some folks, he would prove that that he is becoming a real man and giving back to the staff for their faith in him...and I would agree with the latter.

He threw the buganation sign up after beating Iowa. I don't think he would do that if he planned on returning.

I think JH should allow the fans to vote on whether he comes back.

This has a 0% chance of occurring. The judge agreed to allow him to leave the state to play college football, I'm sure he will be able to as a professional after having kept his nose clean between the bar incident and draft date.

Hill will be officially declaring soon

there is no reason for him to return as his draft is highest it's going to be... he's a 1st or 2nd round draft pick.
