I think Willis is a good back. Not great but solid. Once Steve went down the O was cooked. No threat to pass the ball and Jim Brown would've had a rough year. 
Willis leaving isn't about his lack of talent.  I would like to have him back. 
Hill is a good back with a skill set that should do well under Nixon. 
I expect us to bring in a power back as both Nixon and Hill are more all purpose RBs. We are pursuing some talented players but the competition for them is tough. 
Every kid wants to be paid and wants PT. Willis included.  Money and PT. 
A good QB
A starting RB
A starting LB
A starting DE
A Starting S
OL DL help
It's a business and there isn't a single school that can offer a player who wants PT and Money both. 
Fran is exceptional when it comes to managing player expectations and being honest. 
Every kid knows exactly where they stand. 
It's unbelievably hard on the kids, and the staff. Roller Coaster of emotions, mixed with the reality of life.  personal, family, school. 
All in the per second social media world of very young men and its complex.  
My two cents is that we are extremely fortunate to have a great individual leading our program surrounded by an athletic department that is committed to the kids and to doing things right. 
Back to Willis I hope he finds a good home a good fit for his skills and aspirations.  
I'm not worried about the RB. 
Now when it comes to some of the other needs fingers and toes are crossed.
