If Ed O and company told some guys to go elsewhere and it was because they knew they had this guy back pocket...a Bama commit with a LSU offer

I am going to go out on a limb and say this dude is probably a fricking rock solid stud

Agreed. We should get Dummervil if everything goes right.

Wow I know a highlight film isn't always a great way to judge talent but wow. He sure as hell doesn't look like a 3 star in that film. Repeatedly driving defenders 15 yards from where he started blocking them. And lots of pancakes!

Of Saban's critique of Hill's great Hoops pedigreed footwork and athletic agility..

Just remember, the great quote about Fred Astaire's dancing skills "Sure he was great, but don't forget that Ginger Rogers did everything he did, backwards…and in high heels."

Yes he did but also mention he’s a grade risk but could be on the bubble on making it.

It’s not about what’s available. 247 and rivals and all of those other recruiting sites grade these kids based on their own opinions. LSU recruits then based off of their analysis of players.

We are not desperate for O as you post. We need great OL and clearly the staff have assessed Hill to be superior to many other options that we have. Welcome X.
