Jeremy Hill playing time

Just heard Jeremy Hill's interview and he said he's down to 230lbs and in great shape. Realistically how much playing time do you see him getting with him being behind Ware, Ford, Hilliard, Blue, and Magee? I really think he's gonna be special after some time here

Little. He's the future.

I think he will play if he is the best of the bunch. Thinking Ford and Ware could go pro, but the way Les likes to rotate backs, maybe they won't get drafted high and will stay. Hillard and Blue would be here a few more years and same with McGee.
Personally, I think he will be the best back with Blue and Hillard. Ford is more of a speed guy, so change of pace. I haven't forgotten about Ware. Haven't seen enough of McGee.

I've heard from people who watched him in HS and they all said he is the real deal

I don't really care for red shirting RBs bc so many can be rotated to keep fresh legs, they're all good, and it's not a position that requires as much time for a good recruit to contribute. Plus lsu gets so many good RBs.

I do not see him behind Magee. Last year nobody thought Hilliard would get as many carries as he did. Miles has stated he is not red-shirting. He will get some chances - if he pays well on them he will play more.
One thing that is intriguing this year is the possibility of putting Hilliard and Hill in the same backfield. Miles loves him some big backs...

I responded to this last week but after yesterdays scrimmage the picture may get a little clearer although there is still plenty of time betwen now and first game.
Most of the Rantards have been saying Hill is the sixth back and should redshirt. He was the leading rusher in yesterday's scrimmage and it was not even close for second. I could tell in the Spring game he was getting a lot of work. I read this in the scrimmage report on the TD home page for those naysayers out there.

Breakdown of scrimmage for running backs:
Hill 9-71
Hilliard 8-30
Ford 4-30
Hill played some with the first team according to those who attended.
There is no way he red shirts! FB and HB doesn't matter, but you put your best players on the field. BTW I used to think Les favored seniority, but Les loves big backs who can run over guys more! See Kenny Hilliard.

You absolutely cannot keep a talent like this on the bench. Jeremy Hill is the whole package. None of the other backs we have are at this level, even thought they are all quite good.
Remember, there is a distinct difference between good and great. That is why the top 8 or 10 players in the NBA are paid a lot more than the next level players. The premier guys can deliver in crunch time when it really matters.
With all of that said, we will need to see Mr. Hill use his talent and energies on a consistent basis to make a final assessment. I just hope he stays healthy, and is so, it is only a matter of time until we see great instead of good...
