Article posted, mostly recruit jargon, he says he's done and will no longer take visits.

Tennessee landed one of the top tailbacks in Ohio Tuesday evening, with Alliance Marlington's Alden Hill making his decision to be a Volunteer.

"I just committed to Tennessee," Hill exclaimed. "I just got off the phone with Coach (Derek) Dooley and gave him the news. He was ecstatic to hear about my decision, and I couldn't be happier to be honest. I always knew throughout the process that one school would stand out as the best, and Tennessee sure did that."

Hill, 6-foot-2, 220-pounds, earned his Volunteer offer Monday after a camp performance in front of the Tennessee staff, and he wasted no time accepting. Hill also was offered by Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Boston College, and others.

"Tennessee just felt like home, and playing in the SEC was too good to pass up," he stated. "I fell in love with everything about the program instantly, and I know these coaches are the people I want coaching me throughout my college career. They are putting millions into the facilities, the stadium is awesome, and this is clearly the best place for me."

"I'm both relieved and happy to have found my school, and recruiting is over for me," he added. "I won't be taking any more visits, and I'm thrilled to be headed to the Vols. I'm proud that I was able to earn my offer in front of the coaches, and not have it handed to me off my film."

Hill, an honor student at Marlington, rushed for over 2,200 yards last season as a junior, scoring 33 touchdowns. He helped lead his team into the Ohio playoffs for the second consecutive year.

Maybe Keyante's statement was right. We could be taking 4 RBs??? I doubt this means anything except Cross is gone though.

Height is neglible between Cross and Hill. Cross outweighs Hill by 10 pounds. Hill appears faster than Cross...

If Cross is gone like some believe, then that has to mean that CDD knew Cross had interest else where. I just can't believe CDD would do this if he didn't know something that we don't.

So by my estimation, we had a general consensus that we would get 2-3 commits this month. Seems like we've met that with good potential to exceed it. Go Vols!:loco:

Big, big pickup, literally and figuratively. The kid shafted Vandy to commit to us. If nothing else, love him for that.

Please tell me you don't have guys complaining after finding out you are getting arguably the best OL in the country, that some kid who is 6' 2" and goes 230 is not as highly ranked as they want.
