I could care less what either is ranked. Can the one block? Can the other tote the note?

After that the recruiting numbers are irrelevant to me.

How much less could you care?

 

[kamoshika]

Hill finished his junior season with 2,245 yards and 33 TDs on 281 carries (8.0 YPC).

There seems to be no limit to what Hill can do with the ball in his hands. At 6-foot-2, 225 pounds, he’s strong enough to run defenders over. With a 4.59 40-yard time, he’s fast enough to pull away. On more than one occasion, Hill’s vertical jump is superior enough that he can leap over the line of scrimmage for 4 yards.

What is Hill’s best attribute? Power? Speed? The combination of the two?

None of those.

It’s his balance.

LB or Shawn Bryson type FB here. Not a TB.

 

[TheMayja]

I just don't think we need to count Cross out so fast. They may wanted to have two big bruiser RB's.

Just read this in the realmenofgenius voice.

Yes, tailback.

 

[BeecherVol]

How much less could you care?

Depends on how less. And if I cared to try.

 

[Spartacavolus]

Yes, tailback.

No he won't. He'll be 6'2 @ 235-240 after he gets in the weight program and he won't get faster with the added weight. Future 3-4 LB.

If the coaches want him, then I want him.

Welcome aboard Alden Hill!!!

[hugevolfan24]

lol at all of these people griping. The guy runs hard, sheds tackles, and has great speed for his size. This is a great pick-up. And if cross stays who said it is not good to have two guys that run with power in one class

because he's not a 5 star duuhhh :loco:

Do we really need two big backs with our pressing needs on defense? I don't know if I like this to much.

 

[Midfielder10]

Kid is dead set on RB. Of course that could change later, but I dont see him being an LB.

Same thing Al Wilson did

 

[theutvolunteers]

Bruiser behind some of these roadgrader Oline sounds saweet.

Are these the same ones that lost their minds over missing on the small guy from Memphis that chose Vandy?

We are getting ready to play Tennessee ball boys

Run it down their throats and then throw it over the top

No he won't. He'll be 6'2 @ 235-240 after he gets in the weight program and he won't get faster with the added weight. Future 3-4 LB.

yea because there are not running backs that big :crazy: I guess cross is a full back too then

 

[brian.kluever]

Same thing Al Wilson did

Yup.

Great pickup! I think its still funny people look at rankings instead of saying "Man the coaching staff must have saw something really special about this kid in camp and that's why they offered." I trust the coaches. Welcome to the family Hill!
