Xavier Hill

I spoke with Olive Branch (MS) OL Xavier Hill and Evergreen (AL) Hillcrest LB Cameron Riley tonight, and the Aggies definitely helped themselves with both.Hill made the trip with his family and the whole family left impressed with Texas A&M. They really didn't know what to expect coming in but the Aggies are now under very serious consideration. One thing in particular that stood out to them was the Aggie Network. Xavier specifically mentioned it without being prompted. Hill has visits scheduled to Alabama and Tennessee, but I'm hearing from multiple sources that the Aggies really elevated their status on this one.Both Hill and Riley were very impressed with the relationships between the coaches and the players. Riley enjoyed spending time with Alabama natives James Foster, Tank Jenkins, and Ke'shun Brown. He also clicked well with coach Craig and coach Peveto. "They're good people," Riley said. "They keep it real with me and I like it because most coaches may fake it. But those two are straight up with me and I like that. I like coaches like that and we have a great bond with both of them. We're very tight."As for where the Aggies stand after the visit, I'll let the following quote say it all."If I was to make a top five right now Texas A&M would be in there," Riley said. "I kind of had Auburn at the top as my No. 1 school, but as of now A&M and Auburn are kind of neck and neck, like 50-50."
