Hate to say I told you so, because it’s really not my style, but ... I told you so. Remember this blog about Solomon Hill, the one that essentially introduced the forward from Fairfax and how he was on the verge of a breakout campaign, of making a name for himself on the national level? Well, that day has arrived.

The 6-foot-6 senior is considered one of the top players in the country at his position by the recruiting services Rivals.com and Scout.com, and it appears the powers that be, Division I scouts, feel the same way. Hill has been contacted by schools from all the powerhouse conferences, including the Big 12, Pac-10 and SEC.

Ironically, a smaller school, UNLV, came up with his first offer, back in May. Plenty has changed since then. He currently has six colleges waiting for a commitment. According to these quotes, schools such as Kentucky, Texas and USC are also interested in Hill, you know, that kid I told everyone about a while ago.
