Brian Hill is a beast!

Feeling sorry for all his hard work going for naught

For Hill's sake I surely hope Bohl actually has a clue what he's doing or he'll go down as one of the best players the pokes have ever seen to never even sniff being on a good team. Sorta like Brandon Ewing in basketball.

Hill is a beast, I enjoy watching this team because of players like him, wingaard, Gentry, and Yarborough.

"Brian Hill rushed for 208 yards and a touchdown on 30 carries for Wyoming (0-5), the first opponent to rush for more than 200 yards against Appalachian State since 2005."

That part is at least pretty damn impressive.

Hill is awesome.

He should go pro after next season, avoid risking any injury.

Right. He can get the same advisory staff and agent that Smith got.

Except the fact that Hill has NFL talent.

Yep. Not a product of a system like smith operating in the spread. Besides, he's a running back. Their days are numbered from the start. If the situation is right, you gotta take your payday

My bad. Hard to tell sometimes, especially with the way a lot of people have been on here.

First of all Hill is the definition of Cowboy tough. He is without a doubt one tough son of bitch. Second, HILL has NFL potential which is the key word here. Hill has a lot to work on, primarily his blocking which quite frankly isn't very good.

Couldn't agree more cutt. He might even be considered a terrible blocker. If he was as willing to get as dirty blocking for his qb as he is when he runs, he'd be a lot better. Looks like he barely tries to stop them

Oh wait I get it. Because Brett and AA left early, Hill is doomed to fail like them?

Gotcha.

Because it's always Apples to Apples.

Well...in this case it IS apples to apples. However I do agree with you Beav in that I think Hill certainly has NFL talent and is good enough to leave early at the rate he is progressing.

Not quite Apples to Apples. Smith was yet another spread option QB. And one who got lost in the evaluation process in a season with a record number of non-seniors declaring for the draft, and something like 19 QBs in the draft.

AA needed to make money for his mom's health issues. Plus he graduated. He had his degree, and needed to help his family's financial situation. Did he need a big contract to do it? No, and that's why even hitting the NFL Practice squad pay rate for a few seasons was sufficient for what he needed.

He did what he had to do.
Smith got screwed by his own haste, and an unfortunate process.

Hill may have what it takes to get drafted and stay in the league for 3+ seasons.
Make the money before he takes any unnecessary punishment, because once he get to the NFL he will be taking that punishment for sure.

Neither of these guys have failed. They aren't NFL stars, but AA did make some cash and is not yet "out" of the game, and Smith is playing professionally, which gives him a chance to advance his career. Having said that, I don't blame any college athlete for leaving early. You're always one unlucky break (literally) from ending your career. Or, if your talent is "on the fence", a less than stellar senior season, and everyone forgets about you. Strike while it's hot.
