LSU offers Laquon Treadwell [edit: now going to visit LSU]
All over twitter... from allen treiu:
Laquon Treadwell: "With this LSU offer it might shake up my recuriting just a little bit, who knows?"

Think this drags out his recruitment even longer? He seems really excited about this offer.
Confirmation of visit:
Inpatient fans aren't going anywhere for a while.
I'd check the fine print on their HMOs before making such a bold statement.
Not sure where the Devon Allen optimism is coming from.
He is visiting on his own dime. Anything can happen when you get a kid on campus.
All that really means is that he has a lot of dime. He has visited a ton of schools and will continue to do so. He has us in his top group, but it's like a top-25.
That fake commitment post today jinxed us.......
It's going to be a long time before he gets a chance to jinx anybody else on mgoblog. At least under that account.
You mean a negative one billion (ish) is less than +100?
Shane needs to work his magic at the Gridiron Kings this weekend...This is getting outta control!
Read his twitter feed...LSU fans are showing him tons of love, and he's reciprocating.
This reminds me of the thread not too long ago where someone said that they felt LT wasn't coming to Michigan because he had plenty of time to commit and has not. He said he felt that there was a disconnect on Treadwell's side, and that Michigan might not be the right fit for LT. Everyone, of course, negged him because it was an unpopular opinion and MGoBlog doesn't do dissenting opinions, but I cannot say that whoever it was looks like they were wrong...
This recruitment reminds me a lot of Diamond, who was considered a lock to UM for how long?
Allen is here on his own dime, so it gives me some optimism. We shall see.
strongly encouraged people to feel like Michigan had a strong lead. His quotes did not.
The insiders sometimes exaggerate things and when people run with that, expectations get out of whack. Then you have people calling teenagers attention hogs or indecisive or whatever else. And maybe they are, but it seems inappropriate for grown men to call them out on it without knowing them.
Feels more like Ty Isaac to me... Michigan lock. No way his visit to USC will amount to anything. Uh.
Most of the pro-Michigan talk came from pro-Michigan people, who fueled unwarranted optimism in Michigan fans. Meanwhile, national recruitniks were more neutral, as were the recruit's public statements.
Generally speaking, take what these local insiders are saying with a grain of salt. Some are very ready to give 'good news' based on the thinest of evidence. Certainly don't assume a guy is coming to Michigan unless he says it himself.
Actually committing to Michigan....
"inconceivable!"
This. Maybe this kid just really likes the recruiting process. Maybe he comes to Michigan, maybe he doesn't. Maybe he needs more time to think about whether or not Michigan is the right place for him. Maybe he doesn't. Maybe other commits fill up the class before this kid commits. OOOH, maybe he commits and then DE-commits! Maybe then, after DE-committing, he commits AGAIN, only to realize that he wants to join the peace corps.
Maybe then he comes back in 2 years and joins a secluded monastary somewhere near Lake Tahoe.
Man...that would suck for us.
Can't wait for Team 133 to hit the field on September 1st.
You shut your filthy yapper!
The Diamond is strong with this one.
This tells me he is like the guy always looking for the next hottest girl to appear. I hope I am wrong bug if he doesn't commit by Monday don't count on it IMO, as they say in the hood "He Gone"
Too bad
Pleasant novocaine numbness.
Michigan is going to win championships with or without Treadwell. The team! The team! The team! Seems to me there are 23 guys already that feel the same.
HOLY FUCK! Treadwell got another offer! And he likes it!
Time to write him off again, he's obviously Jordan Diamond. Until he names us his leader again. Then he's cool.
I obviously dont know whats in Treadwell's head... but sometimes it seems like when players have a 'leader' for months and months on end without committing, it feels like they are just looking for reasons not to commit to that school...
Who knows?
His recruitment is just like the latest season of, "The Bachlorette"! Poor Arie...
See what happens when you live with your girlfriend, kids?
brb going to lsu and watching as my quarterback spends half his career on the ground and throwing into the stands. Jordan Jefferson and Jarrett Lee didn't exactly take command in the championship game.
agreed. Oh what's that? a kid doesn't want to commit before his senior season? Gosh. Lay off. give the kid a break.
dat double post
Treadwell, apparently, has a lock on a slot at an elite program. So he is free to flirt with every top offer that comes his way.
Now, think about his situation for a moment. Imagine you are a 17-18 year old, who is free to be pursued by every "southern" and west coast program in the NCAA. Wouldn't you enjoy that opportunity?
Maybe we've lost him. Maybe he's just taking advantage of a once in a lifetime opportunity. The attention must be close to overwhelming.
I ASSume that the coaches have covered their bets. Chill folks, this will playout and eventually we'll know.
