Bizarrely, Trevecca really did not recruit the city hard with their last staff. It makes no sense, as the location is almost right downtown Nashville. That might change, if the first month is any indication. One guy that is hearing from TNU, just this week in fact is Rocco Lamuno (Ravenwood). Rocco was perhaps the best of his AAU career during the final weekend of April. Union University is also in communication with the guard.
