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.

bluestreak is clearly either a talent evaluator or a Michigan coach.
February 14th, 2012 at 1:23 PM ^
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.

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 because he's listed at 170 right now but senior year + lifting + 7v7's could see him put on weight.
February 14th, 2012 at 3:52 PM ^
How would 7v7's help him put on weight?

They only serve hotdogs and Jet's bread at 7 on 7's. I'm guessing you haven't attended one recently...

Never. Didn't know that tid bit. Wasn't trying to be a dick with the comment, was genuinely curious, so thanks

I have no idea what they serve, but if you type something with a stern enough tone people tend to believe you.

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)

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

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 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.
February 14th, 2012 at 3:29 PM ^
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.

"Taco,Bell Headline Michigan's class of 2013 recruiting class" headlines must happen.

Unrelated question: Didn't Sam Webb broadcast an interview with Treadwell today? Did anything good/interesting come to light?
February 15th, 2012 at 12:37 AM ^
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.

I love the wave and block after the int at 1:10.

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.
