Hill going pro...

[57stratdawg]

Can’t blame him. Hope he’s a 2nd or 3rd round pick. MSU putting skill position guys in the NFL is always a good thing.

Best of luck to him. I feel like we never got to see him operate in an effective offense, unfortunately.

 

[patdog]

Can't blame him at all. He's been a good Bulldog and will represent us well.

 

[MSUDC11]

Great player for us. Wish he was here during less divisive times. Hope he kills it in the NFL, and glad we’ll see him one more time in Nashville.

 

[tenureplan]

Oh no, we suck again!

 

[Rupert Jenkins]

Best of luck to him. I feel like we never got to see him operate in an effective offense, unfortunately.

Pretty sure our shortcomings in the passing game were very helpful to his career. Add in 2 good receivers and he might not be the leading rusher in the SEC. I hope he lights it up tho

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Good luck Kylin!

 

[8dog]

Yep. Nothing opens up the run game like a terrible passing game

 

[Go Budaw]

Maybe its cliche, but seemed like a really heartfelt announcement and I’m glad he was able to launch his ultimate dream from MSU. True bulldog.

 

[idog]

how would you describe

Yep. Nothing opens up the run game like a terrible passing game

...Navy's running game and passing game?

the only thing that's ever limited Hill in the last two years was Fitzgerald's unwillingness to hand the ball off. this year, without that limitation(which doesn't fall on moorehead or else it would have been repeated) he exploded. good for him.

 

[ColoradoDawg]

Can't wait to watch him on Sundays.

 

[AlCoDog]

I wish the Bears needed a RB.

 

[DogStuckAtUM.sixpack]

Good for him. When it's all said and done in 7-9 years, it'll be interesting to look back at Kylin's career arc and Cam Akers'.

 

[PBRME]

No surprise. I wish him luck.

I hope our freshmen come in ready to contribute. Our spring roster will be a freshman and a transfer that didn’t wow with numbers in juco.

It got him a lot more carrys. Esp after Nick left. He was the offense. If we had been airing it out he wouldn't have been the focus. That's all I'm saying

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

He needs to move on to better coaching and better blocking.**

Seriously, he should do well in the pros and they will help him with his blocking. I predict his MSU coaches will be shocked at just how well he is at catching the ball in the open field.

A sophomore and a transfer and a couple of freshmen

That’s what I never understood about our usage of him. The first play of the Joe Moorhead era he took a swing pass like 70 yards for a TD. And then we hardly ever threw the ball to him again.

 

[patdog]

That's pretty much every offensive coach we've had in my memory. Run a play that works and then never run it again. Frustrating.

 

[maroonmania]

Was anything said about whether or not he would play in the bowl game?

 

[PBRME]

He said he was playing.

 

[maroonmania]

Thanks, just got a chance to read the article where that was mentioned.

Question: could Alec Murphy not get a medical redshirt

 

[8dog]

I would describe it as a run and pass game that every single P5 team in the country has decided not to run.

 

[mount lefroy]

I was hoping to hear about that too

 

[mount lefroy]

He said he was playing.

I could have just read this first

 

[PBRME]

Question: could Alec Murphy not get a medical redshirt

I thought he was academically ineligible. If so then no.

 

[57stratdawg]

He deleted this tweet, BTW. Not sure what’s up with that.

 

[Rupert Jenkins]

Hopefully he changed his mind. He might could move up to a first round pick if he comes back. Imagine putting him in the slot sometimes with Marks at running back

 

[kired]

See Farrod Green - 1 nice play in practically every game, then he's used solely as a blocker. Ridiculous he wasn't getting targeted more often.

 

[RocketDawg]

Do you mean Kylin deleted his Tweet? I got a HailState message earlier today where the quoted his Tweet. Maybe he thought that would suffice ... or maybe he's changed his mind.
