Hilliard and Ware both had great freshman seasons but showed up out of shape the following season and got passed up by the depth. Neither guy recaptured their freshman form, and both will likely declare early and bounce around the league for a few years.

That's been his plan all along. Glad for him. He really is a good guy.

If he's planning on graduating this summer then he's likely coming back. If you plan on declaring for the draft you typically don't go back to school for the spring semester, plus you have OTA's and NFL camp starts in July...

Arguably one of the top RB's in the SEC in 2011 and is virtually non existent since then.


Last year he had too much weight but I think hes done very well with his carries this season. Hill just has more breakaway speed which is why he gets the majority of the load. There are very few backs in the country who would eat significantly into Hills carries.

Either way great news and congratulations for a true student athlete.

Maybe he found out he can graduate this summer after taking off the spring semester.

If I recall correctly, sounds like Kevin Faulk. And he came back for his senior season

would say Justin Vincent is a much bigger enigma. There was preseason Heisman talk for him entering the 2004 season, and he just virtually dissapeared after 03


He didn't disappear, he was around. Did you look for him at Bogie's bar and grill? :rimshot:

Kenny was said to have lost weight going into his soph yr, and he sure did seem lighter breaking off those long runs early in 2012. I think besides Hill just being better, he wasn't running behind as good of an OL in 2012 as he was the yr before.

its not like he can't play after he graduates but yea i think he will go even though he shouldn't


He could transfer somewhere else and get serious PT in his final year of eligibility.

He is the one player that would benefit by staying. Draft stock wise.

Kenny needs another year. No ready for Primetime IMHO just yet.

It is so hard to evaluate LSU backs except Hill since our OL has been so bad for the last 5 years.

Hill ready for nil and change of scenery....
