Laquon Treadwell visiting this weekend.
Per ScoutMichigan, early 4 star wide reciever Laquon Treadwell is visiting this week.
Things had been cooling down on this front media wise, so good to see that there's still mutual interest from him. Probably our top option at WR for 2013.
*note he got offered by USC and OSU today, his recruitment has really blown up in the past few months.

I believe he's also visiting MSU this weekend.

but a buzzkill here. Did you have a link or reference for the MSU visit? I've seen Treadwell at the Big House earlier this year (I believe for the night game vs. ND), but it only makes sense that he would start looking at all schools. What he'll see at MSU is a place that in no way compares to Michigan. And a lot Whoo girls.

MSU Saturday, Michigan Sunday.

Weren't they both at UTL? I'd think Treadwell would have been one of Shane's first contacts.

"His recruitment has really blown up in the past few months."
This is why I trust Hoke & his staff so much when it comes to picking up lower ranked players like Khalid Hill so early in the process. It seems every prospect who is shown interest early in the process by the coaches has their recruitment "blow up." Honestly, the only time I haven't seen a kid's recruitment blow up after a Michigan offer and significant interest is when he commits early. There are always going to be some low ranked prospects who end up signing, but Hoke's success rate so far makes me much more comfortable with early commits like Hill.

If "blown up" means getting more offers, than I agree...most people seem to respect the sanctity of a Michigan committment. I think Jeremy Clark is a good example of a kid who would have raked in more offers later on if he hadn't been solid Blue.
But if by blown up you mean getting big time press, I would argue. No one knew who Ben Braden was when he came aboard, and I don't think he got any more offers, but he turned an awful lot of heads after the fact.
Either way, I'm really with you. These coaches seem to share Beilein's gift for finding talent and pursuing it quickly. I have tremendous faith in them.

Personally, he had me at 11-2. That is worth some benefit of the doubt.
February 7th, 2012 at 9:27 PM ^
It still gives me a big old smile when I read 11 - 2!
February 7th, 2012 at 8:46 PM ^
Sweet. I hope we can work that out. We could use a whole bunch of great receivers in the next class.

I wouldn't expect a commitment this weekend. Laquon plans on visiting Ohio State in March following the offer he received from them today.
February 7th, 2012 at 9:48 PM ^
What are the chances of getting Dukes potential commitment this weekend .... ?
February 7th, 2012 at 10:12 PM ^
to hell with Ohio State!
February 7th, 2012 at 9:07 PM ^
and Laquon Treadwell. Getting them both on campus with Shane Morris would be great!
February 7th, 2012 at 9:18 PM ^
I really like the kind of recievers we are recruiting. Faster guys may seem more flashy and exiting, but taller, more possession focused recievers will work great in this offense in my opinion. With Borges' passing schemes (route combinations, hot reads, etc), can you imagine Shane throwing to a stable of 6-3 recievers who catch most everything thrown at them? Borges can get these guys open with some experience in the scheme, great execution with possession recievers can make this offense machine-like in its effectiveness. Throw in a great running game, power or whatever else, and you have a damn good offense, especially to go along with a great defense.

Hopefully he's in the Rivals100 tomorrow, Heimholdt says there's a lot of Midwest talent.
February 7th, 2012 at 9:51 PM ^
February 7th, 2012 at 10:05 PM ^
So what are our chances with him presently? He seemed like an eventual commit when he got his offer last year, but then the whole Standifer decommit, and now he's got a ton of offers...are we still looking like the leader, or we fading into the pack?
February 7th, 2012 at 10:41 PM ^
Not that I am blaming anybody.
February 7th, 2012 at 10:49 PM ^
I am a huge Treadwell fan. Hopefully he and Shane can camp together this offseason. Maybe BBQ at the Big House as well.
February 8th, 2012 at 2:31 AM ^
Not worth starting another thread - but when is our Junior Day again?
February 8th, 2012 at 1:15 PM ^
It was the end of March last year...not sure about this year
