Looks like he has potential but he would definitely be redshirted IMO if he were to sign.
EDIT: Looks like this offer has been added into the wiki already - please feel free to delete if redundant.
Why do you think he'd
because.....
bluestreak is clearly either a talent evaluator or a Michigan coach.
or he gave his opinion based
or he gave his opinion based on film. I don't think the opinion of whether a redshirt year would help a player is such an offense to get a snarky post like yours in response. Otherwise, you need to start posting in every recruiting thread on this cite to be consistent.
haha
it wasn't so much snarky as it was sarcasm. I can understand how a lot of people on this site have a lot more football knowledge than i do. In cases like these though i always love to speculate as well but it all comes down to the coaches and what they think, because we are pretty consistently wrong as fans.
I would have to assume
I would have to assume because he's listed at 170 right now but senior year + lifting + 7v7's could see him put on weight.
Blue is Faster
7 v 7's?
How would 7v7's help him put on weight?
7 on 7
They only serve hotdogs and Jet's bread at 7 on 7's. I'm guessing you haven't attended one recently...
Nope
Never. Didn't know that tid bit. Wasn't trying to be a dick with the comment, was genuinely curious, so thanks
I wasn't serious
I have no idea what they serve, but if you type something with a stern enough tone people tend to believe you.
Fair questions
While he has talent - we have T-Rich and Countess who will probably be more seasoned campaigners by the time he comes in.
He is diminutive at this point and shows speed. He throws himself around and plays with a passion but his technique probably needs work.
Essentially based on his film and size, I think he will benefit from a redshirt (barring any injuries to our more senior CBs)
GMAT score =800 = Defensive POTY
T-Rich
Im still not completely sold on him yet to be mentioning his name with Blake...We saw how good Blake was , T-Rich needs to prove himself first
170lbs is not that undersized
170lbs is not that undersized for a HS junior CB. Hell, I don't think Courtney Avery was 170 when he got to campus, and he played as a true frosh. CB is not a spot you need a lot of beef to be good in college, but even so, this kid could easily be 180 by the time he enrolls somewhere, making him plenty big to see the field.
I just don't see how anyone, even our own coaches, can look at a HS JR CB and say he'll redshirt, unless he's a physical freak but just raw as hell.
Yeah but Courtney Avery
Yeah but Courtney Avery played on "that" defense
As far as a redshirt; If a Corner gets an offer from M this early in the cycle, I gotta believe Hoke and Co. are impressed with his everything.
Fwiw Scout has him as a mid 3
Fwiw Scout has him as a mid 3 star rating (86/100) and he doesn't seem to be ranked by the other services. However, I think I'll trust Mattison and Hoke's evaluation methods.
Other big time college
Other big time college coaches seem to think the same. He also has offers from Florida, Nebraska, South Carolina, WV and Wisconsin. He is also getting looks from Alabama and ND.

I remember seeing him at a football camp in Brooklyn in May when I had to cover Wayne Morgan. He is a slim guy but his coverage skills were great that day. Kinda reminds me of a shorter claiborne from lsu in play style
We need him and Charlton..

Not sure if serious.
Unrelated question: Didn't
Unrelated question: Didn't Sam Webb broadcast an interview with Treadwell today? Did anything good/interesting come to light?
"Michigan Defense" is dominating everything, in every aspect of life. That's a rough definition.

His mom liked it and she
His mom liked it and she likes Coach Montgomery. Not much to say though because Treadz is very far from committing anywhere. It was a good visit.
He seems to make quick reads and
I love the wave and block after the int at 1:10.
Tre' Bell
OP,
I don't see what you're seeing. Tre' may only weigh 170, but his highlights show that he isn't afraid of contact, is critical to his team's run support, and exhibits good instincts. He also plays WR, so he probably has good hands.
Based on flimsy evidence, I think he could make an impact for us as a true freshman.
Why do you think he'd redshirt?
