Well something must've changed within the last week. He posted this on the 16th;

The question is where did you hear this?

I thought the question was "To be, or not to be?"

:dunno:

This. Alden Hill is very important to us and our future. Especially if for some reason Marlin Lane doesn't get his stuff together.

Hill could be our number 2 back next year and he and Tom Smith could be our only backs who will return in 2014.

If Hill is our #2 back for any extended period of time, we're in trubble.

I'm not sure why you would say that. Hill doesn't have the speed that Neal does but he runs straight ahead and doesn't dance. Neal turned a lot of 4 yard gains into no gain last year because of his frustrating refusal to run between the tackles.

 

[YankeeVol]

Well that sucks

 

[sonofUT62]

Well that sucks

Yeah it does. Two straight classes without a RB is not good at all.

He runs hard and is a VFL it seems, but just don't think he has an SEC skill set for a RB. A 4.58 40 just won't cut it against most of the defenses in the league. Would love for him to prove me wrong though.

I think Hill is a solid #2 back. I imagine he has a chip on his shoulder after missing all of last year.

 

[sjt18]

Although I was pissed when JG left us, in hindsight it may have been a blessing. He didn't live up to his hype.

My personal feeling at the time and now is that pulling a good RB was a prerequisite for JG to get his price to stay. No one seemed to want to blame him but he was the lead recruiter and position coach for a series of RB's who said no... and not just 4/5* RB's. UT at the end was down to taking a 3* RB recovering from a severe injury who also had grade problems. It seems no quality RB was clamoring to play for JG.

Not really. What he did during the O&W game works. It isn't flashy. It won't put him on any watch lists. But he is a 3 yards and cloud of dust RB that plays his assignments. If he runs as tough as he did in the spring without getting hurt and does a solid job of blocking then he'll be a very good #2 or #3 RB. He won't run away from anyone but neither did Arian Foster.

3rd and 2,Hill follows Stone and James, picking up another Tennessee first down.

I don't count anything that happens in the Spring or the O and W game. It's not a good indicator of performance in he fall.

I think having a big straight ahead, downhill runner as a second back is a very good thing. We need a bruiser back and I for one and very happy that Hill had a good Spring. I really hope he keeps up the hard work during the Summer and Fall.

Gotta be better than a Tyler qb sneak. Tyler did a lot of good things here but he had to be the worst at qb sneaking we've ever had.

+1=2

2+1=3

Never seen a tall QB yet good at the sneak.

 

[Easttnken]

He was a scat back at best. Never would have seen the field. Sounds like a retard anyway, so glad he's gone.

At least you don't discriminate. I thought you only bashed Jalen Hurd. Instead, it seems you do a good job of bashing ALL of UT's young guys...kudos to you.

Help is on the way just wait a little while.:yes:

W, is that you?

That may have been part of it but we've had other tall qb's that could atleast get one every once in a while. I dont remember Tyler getting one in three years.

I thought Jabo had SAT/ACT issues but thought I read he passed the re take with flying colors..????
SPEED, we need speed and Jabo's got some.
