Laquon Treadwell Tweet about Team 134
Laquon Treadwell just tweeted Team 134.. Any news of his commitment?

Wait, Wuh?
Please keep up this theme. It pleases me.

We don't have two separate types of offers. If Treadwell doesn't go Blue it will be because, A) he liked somewhere else better or B) he waited too long and don't have an open spot.

I agree that we aren't Ohio, but we've definitely had situations where players have uncommittable offers. It's been reported on this here blog before. Not everything Ohio does is bad.

Latest tweet: "No I didn't commit just a tweet"
March 26th, 2012 at 10:43 AM ^
Yeah I just saw that too...
Hard to know what any of it means. Has he had similar tweets about other teams recruiting him?
Can't be bad- but also may really mean nothing at all as far as him coming to the Big House...
March 26th, 2012 at 10:47 AM ^
He's had a couple about other schools, but the majority are Michigan tweets/retweets.
March 26th, 2012 at 10:50 AM ^
I'm pretty sure that means he reads MGoBlog. In fact, I'll bet he tweeted that just to see our reaction here.

hi Laquon!
March 26th, 2012 at 10:58 AM ^
I don't blame him on that one, if I was in his situation, I feel like I would totally do the same thing. However, I'd use my power to screw with Buckeye fans.
March 26th, 2012 at 10:56 AM ^
yep, can't read into twitter too much with recruiting.
March 26th, 2012 at 10:51 AM ^
What does this mean?! Damn you cryptic Twitter!
March 26th, 2012 at 10:59 AM ^
Woke up feeling BLUE today!
Saw a mighty nice RED car today.
Wait, can anyone tell me the difference between Red and Scarlet
DUCK!
I went to practice Sooner than I expected today.
I had a dream about Leprechauns last night.
Saw 300 last night. Look, I don't do dresses, k?
Sigh, dammit!

I hear that they are stalking us!
O.O
We see you Laquon~!!
March 26th, 2012 at 11:16 AM ^
Why use an evocative word like stalking to describe reading a public account? Are you practicing for a job at a paper in Detroit?
Now, I'm not 100% certain that it needed to be a thread here within minutes, but then, I'm not the thread gendarmerie.

It's pretty common to see the word stalking next to the word twitter anymore. It's sad because there are real cases of stalking that it seems our legal system is unable to do anything about.
In short the article says -
"A man sent over 8,000 disturbing and threatening tweets to a Buddhist religious leader in a few short months, even going so far as to tell her to “go kill yourself”. But despite scaring her so much she refused to leave her house for 18 months, a judge has found this man innocent of stalking – siding with the freedom of speech advocates that Twitter is a public forum that can be disregarded by the victim."
This is worlds away from reading a post and reposting it to a blog, which is all that was done here. Worlds away from stalking...
Another interesting discussion point in the article was the judge's ruling. He ruled in that case that it wasn't stalking because it was public. His reasoning was this -
“In his order, Judge Titus drew an analogy to the colonial period, when the Bill of Rights was written. A blog, he said, is like a bulletin board that a person of that time might have planted in his front yard. “If one colonist wants to see what is on another’s bulletin board, he would need to walk over to his neighbor’s yard and look at what is posted, or hire someone else to do so,” he offered.
With Twitter, he went on, news from one colonist’s bulletin board could automatically show up on another’s. The postings can be “turned on or off by the owners of the bulletin boards,” he wrote. In other words, one can disregard what is posted on a bulletin board. “This is in sharp contrast to a telephone call, letter or e-mail specifically addressed to and directed at another person,” he concluded.”
Not exactly how I would look at Twitter, but it does kind of put a different perspective on the issue.

Adding recruits on facebook and then posting stuff on their wall is borderline stalking.
Posting thoughts on the 100% you-know-its-public-space twitter is not
March 26th, 2012 at 11:49 AM ^
Laqoun is Stefon Diggs 2.0. I hope I am wrong though.
March 26th, 2012 at 11:52 AM ^
Seams like he sure likes the spot light
March 26th, 2012 at 11:49 AM ^
This is how I feel with twitter:
March 26th, 2012 at 11:52 AM ^
Really doesn't mean anything when I write it...
March 26th, 2012 at 12:06 PM ^
Wait - is that a commitment? Hello: Allin4Blue?
He lacks top-end savoriness
What's up with the guy that listed all the great Michigan Wideouts,but didn't include AC? Come on man!
Too many people who don't grasp the concept of sarcasm and are wayyyy serious in this thread haha. The funniest respones is the just completely obvious sarcastic response followed by someone who is completely serious.
Also, if I was a recruit I would purposely send a fanbase into a flurry like once a week, just to inspire a thread like this. Then read it with my friends and laugh.
To be honest, I've ALWAYS wanted a coach to do that during a press conference (and I've said this here before). Knowing that fan bases take things so seriously, it'd be hilarious to watch sites go absolutely crazy. Can you imagine what would happen if Borges said something like "I'm thinking about revolutionizing the whole offense. What I'm gonna do is get rid of the quarterback and have four running backs do a hell of a lot of reverses." (props if you know the quote)
Then again, I'm a terrible individual that takes glee in odd things.
Eck Sentric needs to change his ID photo, or his avatar, or whatever you call it. It's sick....
