After last years spring game I thought he would get significant playing time.

Alden, I hope you do well no matter where you land. You will give your a new team a good power back.

He made a class exit. I don't see what Jones has to do with it. Or am I missing something? :unsure:

Best wishes in your future from VolNation

Good luck to Alden.....wish it had worked out at UT. Hope all his dreams come true and he finds a college home where he will see lots of playing time. Classy young man.

He will. Hill is a beast. It's just hard for 99% of the football players in the world to find playing time in the SEC. He could start for a lot of big name schools out there.

On a side note, aren't we losing some pretty solid Special Teams play with Hill? I thought he did very well on ST.

Classy exit.Best of luck to you Mr Hill.Go Vols and HTTR!!

 

[VolArtillery]

Good luck & God speed. Hope you hit the ground running... literally.

oskie likes to defend dooley, that's all.

It's shocking that Derek Dooley would somehow make his way into this conversation. Problem #1 with our fanbase is Living in the Past Syndrome. Alden Hill wasn't a top of the line recruit, but watching this kid you could tell he gave it 100% and wanted to be a Vol. The least we could do is wish him luck, cut the bitter Dooley discussion, and realize that transfers happen at universities with crappy coaches or awesome coaches. Alden deserves a chance to go somewhere where he can at least do something he loves to do for another couple of years at least without basically calling the kid a bust and a loser for not cracking the 2-deep.

Good luck Alden.

Alden got recruited over but it's nice to see a kid have class with his announcement. Glad for him and wish him the best in the future.

I recognize that A Hill is a running back, My question - does he have the frame and mentality to move to the defensive side, OLB/Safety hybrid.

That explains it. At least Alden seems to have let go.

Obviously not

 

[GLDunlap]

I hate to see AH go. He was a classy guy that loved UT. Besides that we are going to be a little thin to start the season at RB plus AH was solid on special teams.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

This is a good thing for both parties. Hope he finds playing time wherever he goes.

 

[TNnative]

I always hate it when a kid comes here to fulfill his dreams and leaves without them being realized. However, if he is unable to break through here, hopefully he will be able to elsewhere. I appreciate his efforts, wish him nothing but the best, and hope his future is bright wherever it may take him.

Quick call the coaches!!!!!! Maybe you can prevent this!!!!

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Best of luck young man. I hope you find a place where you can make a major contribution.

Thanks for the hard work and dedication Alden! Good luck finding somewhere else to play. This Vol fan will be cheering for ya.

Same here. I was really hoping he'd have a break out year, as the 3rd back in the rotation, and show what he can do. Sorry to see him leave, but I hope he makes his mark at his next stop.
