Lake Bluff resident and Tampa Bay Buccaneers scout Bill Rees answers our questions about college recruiting.
He has two sons who are are Division I football players; Tommy at Notre Dame and Danny at UCLA.

He also has the pedigree: his father, Dave, played at the University of Michigan. So when Michigan offered him a walk-on position at a recent summer camp, he accepted, forgoing what most likely for him would have been a busy recruiting season. Lake Forest/Lake Bluff Patch caught up with Dever and got the inside story on his decision to become a Wolverine. What does Dever think about the 2011 Scouts?
