I really hope the coaches work Blue as a WR some in the Spring and see if he can do it. If J. Hill as truly the guy the coaches think he is then he needs to be on the field. Blue was our most improved player last year and is a stud who has the body to play outside as a physical receiver.

Rather than seeing Blue get like 3 carries a game I would love to see him get a lot of snaps at a position of need for us and have our BEST talent on the field (assuming Blue can adapt to the position)

Did Hill not have a small fumbling problem in HS?

When all of your backs have size, speed, balance, and catching ability, the differentiation will depend on ball security and especially blocking.

Juking and/or running over tacklers comes naturally to some. Blocking, pickup up a blitz, and chipping DE's on the way out for a pass; these are the things that make a complete back and earns a starting nod.

I'm not a fan of redshirting RBs, but I really don't understand why Magee didn't redshirt. He played almost none. With no significant injuries to any of our RBs, I'm not sure why Magee played at all.


As far as Blue goes, I don't think he's moving. He's very versatile at RB and we have a lot of WRs on the roster. Not a whole lot of experience, but any of them would have more than Blue, so I'm not sure how him moving solves any kind of need at that position.

I see either Blue or Magee transferring if Hill is as good as advertised.

I totally agree with your comments on Blue. The needs more touches per game and he could get that at WR position.

Over/under on the number of times that TV and radio announcers confuse Hill and Hilliard?

If Hillard, Blue, Ford, Ware are that good, then let Hill redshirt.


Done.
