[QUOTE="DaddyBill, post: 23928, member: 317"] Probably shouldn't go into lots of detail, but the recruiting process for Tre' was somewhat different than for most other players. First, he doesn't fit the "model" for the protypical middle linebacker...being 5'10". He was on the radar for both Miami and Vandy for a while. Was the top LB at a Miami camp in the summer of 2012 and got an invite for an unofficial visit to Vandy in the fall of '12 to watch them play UT. Seems their interest died out somewhat. Coaches from Cincy, Charlotte, Chattanooga and WF made verbal overtures and then last March CAMc stopped by Lowndes High. talked to the head coach, watched some more film and told Tre' they wanted him at Tech. That was actually his first real offer. The family talked it over for a few days and I talked with both CAMc and CTR. They said they had been watching him for a couple of years, thought he could play at Tech and they wanted him. The fact that an ACC/D1 program really did [U]want[/U] him and that it was only 200 miles from home, as well as being a top-level academic program cinched his early commitment. Had he waited until Feb. 5th I have no idea who else may have come into the picture nor if the offered from Tech would still be there. Finishing his classes at Lowndes High with a 3.9 GPA, being the defensive player of the year in Region 1-AAAAAA and making the AJC all-state squad may or may not have opened some other doors. But he is still happy with his decision and excited about becoming a Yellow Jacket...which happens tomorrow when he checks in for spring semester. [/QUOTE]
