A judge placed his forefinger next to his thumb and told troubled LSU running back Jeremy Hill : "You are this far away from ruining your life." In Hill's latest legal troubles, he admitted Friday in state district court to punching a man in the head outside a bar in late-April. State District Judge Michael Erwin, however, allowed him to remain out of jail, on probation, after Hill pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor battery charge. Still, Hill's legal problems are not over and his college football future remains in doubt. Reminding Hill of former LSU and Miami Dolphins running back Cecil Collins, whose once-promising career was wiped out by arrests and jail time, Erwin told Hill that Collins "had a chance to be a super star, and you may have that chance also, but you are rapidly going down the wrong road." Hill, who was already on probation at the time of his most recent arrest, received a six-month suspended sentence Friday and two years of probation. Afterward, district attorney Hillar Moore said he would file a motion to revoke Hill's earlier probation, which he received following his January 2012 guilty plea to a misdemeanor stemming from his sexual relationship with a then-14-year-old girl at his high school. Moore said it will be up to state district judge Bonnie Jackson, who handled Hill's earlier case, to decide whether the running back should serve his first suspended six-month sentence, or remain on probation under conditions the judge sees fit and possibly return to the Tigers. A hearing would likely be set for August, Moore said. Read more http://espn.go.com/college-football...-lsu-tigers-pleads-guilty-misdemeanor-battery
They got rid of the Tyrann Matthieu, and Jeremy Hill is no "Honey Badger." I say good riddance to Hill... A program like LSU has 10 players just as talented to step into the fold. We're talking major SEC football... all of these players are expandable. "Mark Ingram's gone... oh shit, we've got to play Trent Richardson.... now Richardson's gone?! Better play Eddie Lacy!... Eddy Lacy's gone? ... Welcome T.J. Yeldon!" That's a consistent narrative in the SEC. We've got so much talent high school in the Southeast, that an elite player can easily be dismissed for his discretion, and his team will replace him like nothing ever happened.
