Hill and Blue are gone.
If Fournette is as good as advertised then the rotation will be
Start of season:
Magee
Hilliard/Fournette
Palelie (sp?)
Has anyone heard anything about Fobbs since he moved to RB? If he's doing well then he may be the fourth back and redshirt Sione.

End of season:
Magee/Fournette
Hilliard
Sione or Fobbs

If Hilliard gets his weight down and plays like he did in 2011 LSU will have no problems out of running backs.

The only one I can see staying is Magee


I agree. Hilliard is what he is. He won't change his draft position by staying. Our RBs next year will be Fournette, Boo, and Magee. We'll have a fourth, but I don't know who - maybe Brazil.

He literally has no draft position right now. At least you could see Ford as a utility guy in the pros. Ford could reliably return kicks and run the ball well outside with speed. Hilliard is not a guy who will run a 4.4 at the combine like Ford and get a fair shot at a roster spot, as of right now. Hilliard needs to stick around LSU and get a degree if he's worried about his family. Just being realistic...

No one really knows where Hilliard will project. He was hurt for most of last year, not sure why people love to perpetuate the idea that he's lost so much from when we were all calling him a first rounder. He may match up well against a defense this season and have a game that shows he's good to go. Remember that the money between rounds 3 to 7 isn't drastically different now, and he's got kids to provide for. A good projection and he's gone.

Hill is gone. Magee will probably stay. Hilliard will get snaps at FB next year.

Magee should stay. He has never carried the ball before this year and he is going to back up Hill all year long. He'll get his yards/touches, but he won't have enough of a body of work to really show anything. He should stay.

Hill should go. He is incredible and it would be foolish to stay. Give me one reason why he should stay? I can't think of one.

If he gets in any kind of trouble again, he is gone, ala Mathieu. It is too big a risk, not to mention injury risks.

I think we have

Fournette
Magee
Hilliard
Palieil

That will be another monster backfield.

Hill is not leaving. He is a sophomore and it's in his best interest yo play another. It also will help LF to be in a rotation where he won't have to carry the load his first year


It definitely wont be in HIlls interest to stay.
