Hilliard at the top-spot is pretty incredible. I think he's the 3rd or 4th best prospect in Louisiana.. but hey, looking good for us. If we do what we're supposed to do we're a lock for the maxpreps #1 class, I think.
They don't even list him close to his actual size either. But I look at Hilliard as an anomaly. Most assume he is just going to be too big to be the kind of back that can get consistent touches or look at him as a goal line back. But he could turnout to be a RB like Ron Dayne in college. One thing is for sure in my eyes though. Never count the kid out because he is always motivated to prove everyone wrong and he thrives on that. I see him doing special things at LSU.
I think Hilliard is as sure thing as there will be in this class. He might not have quite the ceiling with the potential of Freak or Collins but he is more of a sure thing IMO. I see Hilliard as a mixture of Scott and Beanie Wells. A big bruiser, with good moves and solid speed.
