There's an article on D. Hill in the meridian star where they mention he will have 3 hats on the table. I knew he was doing this, but apparently the 3 hats are going to be S. Car.,Tenn and Bama. I know there's not much to that. I figured we had at least made his top 3.

We’re going to get him next year and maybe the year after as well.

17 him. Our juco guys will get more yards next year than he will. He would probly make a better linebacker than running back anyway.

Unless he’s a generational running back I don’t really care.

You can litterally find a serviceable running back on a street corner.

I thought he was waiting to commit at some all star game? Why would a table be involved?

We need a hat trick to performance ratio to tell us if the highest performing college athletes directly correlates to the most dramatic signing. Add in a metric for them performing well at the school they signed with.

I'm not taking anything from a Bama newspaper seriously.

D. Hill is going to be great at MSU. He is going to sign with us and be a 4 year contributor and 3 year starter. He will average over 1100 APY a year over his 3 years. HE has the body to be great at MSU.

While I get what you're saying, there is still a difference between a serviceable and good RB. Think back to 2016 when we switched from Shumpert to Aeris Williams. Or a Nick Gibson vs Kylin Hill. Especially in Lebby's offense that is based around the big play, having a guy who can get past the safety on a 1v1 and turn a 9 yard run into a 30 yard TD is massive.

That information comes from a tweet by 247s national recruiting director. That tweet was from Nov 7th, which was a month before Hill finally visited MSU and the new coaching staff. I wouldn't pit much stock in that.

After I posted I thought I might should have checked the date. He did say he wanted to go somewhere where he could make a difference in the program.

"he's a 17 year old with a huge decision to make."

It USED to be a huge decision. Now, not so much.
I agree, at this point with everyone a free agent every year, you might as well shop yourself for a better NIL deal every year if you are a top line player. Now if you aren't you might better stay away from the portal or you might find yourself without a team.

Don't get me wrong. I hope he signs with us. He is a bruising runner. Break away speed ? Not so much. But he is a load to tackle. Plus he is a Mississippi kid and I wish we could get all of those.

The Meridian Star is a joke of a newspaper. I live here and it sucks. You can get more news from twitter than that crap

Maybe serviceable was the wrong word.

Lot of GOOD running backs out there. If you can’t block a great running bad looks very mediocre.

If you can block, a serviceable running back can look great.

Is that an older article?

I've heard him signing with us is contingent upon an offer from Bama. Does he have a Bama offer? If not, he'll be a dawg.

Bama has several Hills on their roster. This seems like Nick playing keep away.

Hill is a game changer. Big bruising back with enough speed to break into the 2nd level. He would be great in Lebbys O.

Saying F him is very dumb (whoever said it). We need him & guys like him.
