Kids that are better than the competeition at any level often get by with raw talent. Route running takes time and practice reps. How routes are run depends on how the offense is run and from what position. The good thing about being raw is that you can only get better. I think the comment about having a place in "this league" was a key indicator of his talent level.

Agree completely. Tre was a high school running back who did not have the benefit of a redshirt year at WM. He also had at least two (if not three) receivers coaches during his time. And it is also true that Tre never had the benefit of playing with a polished quarterback with great arm strength. As a result, Tre was asked to do certain different things than he would have been even in our program in past years. Each of these factors influenced his development, and in my opinion none reflect negatively either on Tre or on our football program.

Valid points. One minor note, Tre was a receiver in HS, but in a run first/option based offense as I recall.
