As a diehard Bears fan, I always spend way too much time researching players that play in the post season all star games. Today they play the East West Shrine game and in reviewing some of the practice reports I saw that WR Tre McBride from William & Mary was getting consistently mentioned as the top WR at the game and a likely 3rd or 4th round NFL pick. Tre's name sounded familiar and sure enough I dug up an old Rivals story that indicated we were very interested in this kid from Georgia but ultimately never pulled the trigger on an offer. Given the struggles we have had at the WR position, it is disappointing to hear we were close but missed out on what would have been another of our "diamonds in the rough". Goes to show those Glades Special two star guys are still out there. I guess the silver lining is that our staff still does a very good job in identifying these kids but in some instances does not follow through with an offer.

GCG were you around when this kid was being recruited?
