Summary from the 1949-50 Media Guide
One of the greatest all-around athletes ever to enroll at BYU, Russ adds a lot of punch to the Cougar offense with his drive-in shots. Good on fast breaks, Hillman will shift from the guard slot to center whenever the situation arises. A real slugger on the baseball team, Hillman helped to win the conference diamond title for the Cougars last spring.

Summary from the 1950-51 Media Guide
An all-around athlete. Russ is noted for his drive-in shots. He played reserve last season and had a little trouble with fouling because he was too eager. But he is good on the fast breaks and tends to speed up a team. Also a baseball player, he is a slugger and starred two years on the diamond.
