re: RB Jeremy Hill deccommits

I truly think that Hillard and Hill will red shirt regardless. I just don't see how they can crack the lineup with Ridley, Ford, Ware and Gore.

Many start out this way at LSU.

Ridley will be a SR, the rest will be SOPH(Ford, Ware, Blue) and FR (Gore, Hilliard, Magee, Turner)


by all means Hill is a great player. But it's not really a huge deal. We are set at RB whether he re-commits or not.

Yeah, hate to say I agree, but I do. I think Ridley leaving next year will entice a Borque and/or Fournette (or some other stud) to come here and compete for that open spot, despite the presence of the(projected) juniors in the way.

However, the reason why I say I hate to agree is that nothing is certain in recruiting as there is no guarantee a Borque or Fournette will commit, so you never at miss on a quality talent like Hill when you have it in your hand.

Plus, wasn't it 2005 when every LSU running back missed games with major & minor injuries (Broussard, Vincent, Addai, Carey)? I just remember thinking at the time what great depth we had, and then after the injuries, wishing we had an 8-deep stock of RB talent. Freak injuries to Ford, Ware, Hilliard, & Blue could theoretically leave LSU with just Magee, Turner & Gore. Having Hill would make us all feel more comfortable. That old adage of you can't ever have enough RB's was never more true in 2005 (?) and I never want to revisit that dire situation.

Good for Hill. I'm guessing the thirty concussions Ridley had this year by running straight into the line helped him wise up. Go yonder and seek greener pastures. Stud/Crowton will get you killed.

are you serious?

LSU had a solid running game this year and Ridley rushed for about 1100 yds with a 4.6ish per attempt average. Seems to me that our O-line did pretty well this year considering they lost two starters for most of the year. But hey, I guess its easier to just say Stud is a horrible coach.

You must be young or have a failing memory.

Dig you later.Good luck.

I've been saying this all year... Hill is the best skill position player in Louisiana this year and maybe the best player in the state.

I've seen just about every one of the top ranked players in the state at lest once and he's the one in this class that has leaped out at me more than once. I saw him head to head with the other stud RB in this class against Patterson and I thought Hill had a far better night. His mix of size and speed is just about perfect for an SEC RB.

Cue the La'ell Collins excuses. They're pretty typical and show you probably haven't even seen the kids tapes.

Last year my pick was Tyranne Mathieu and that worked out pretty well.

I've been hot on Hill since before he committed to LSU.

I'm not putting any prediction as to where he ends up just an honest perspective from someone who sees tons of High School football in this state.

Once he found out what the Alabama schools are paying for talented players, he had to look into it.
