DEL.ICIO.USTennessee joins UGA in pursuing Miller Grove WR
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Georgia is not the only SEC school chasing hard after Miller Grove’s Stephen Hill, who is emerging as one of the state’s top prospects. Tennessee has also entered the picture with Hill, who is committed to Central Florida.
“Tennessee said they want to come down to the school and speak with me in person,” Hill said. “They said they really liked my film, and are very serious about recruiting me.”
The 6-foot-3, 190-pound Hill fits the mold of a traditional Tennessee wide receiver: He is a track standout who also plays football. He is the defending Class AAAA champion in the long jump and has been clocked at 4.4 seconds in the 40-yard dash.
Georgia asked Hill for permission to recruit him earlier this month. Hill made an unofficial visit to watch the Bulldogs play Central Michigan and will return for next week’s contest against Alabama.
Hill said neither Georgia or Tennessee have offered, yet both have hinted about scholarships. He is one of DeKalb’s leading receivers with 9 catches for 240 yards and four touchdowns in three games.

He would have a much better time and have a better opportunity at UCF. UCF puts top talent into the NFL and Hill will have more time on the field early to prove himself. For those you who are so wrapped up in SEC football you would be blown away if you stepped foot on UCF campus.

Yea…go to UGA and break your previous commitment so that you can go somewhere they “wouldn’t mind” having you.
Of course, you could always go to UCF and be somewhere they would LOVE to have you.
You haven’t even seen the UCF campus yet. It’s a gorgeous place with unbelievable facilities. Stick to your promise, you will NEVER regret it.

Hill, don’t take Georgia or Tennessee seriously until they make an offer. Until then don’t waste your time. You have more than a dozen scholarship offers, what do tese schools know that TENN & UGA don’t. Everyone received your highlight video at the same time. UCF is a great sotuation for you, don’t get caight up in all the hype. If they make an offer go from there. Until then they do not need any consideration.

I think it’s unfair and unfortunate that people put such stress and pressure on a young student-athlete. Sure Hill committed to UCF early, but what were the reasons? Oh and believe you me there were reasons. How can one sit up and compare UCF to Tennessee and Georgia? Are you serious? Sure they have done alot of good things down at UCF, and the facilities are second to none, but we are talking SEC vs. Conference USA. And contrary to polular belief, the kid does want an opportunity to run track. Can UCF offer him that? The answer is NO. Lastly, while everyone seems to be mad at UGA, there are at least $ other SEC schools luring the 6’4 talent. Stay tuned for more details>>>>
