I'd love to have him for four years, but i'm tired of his recruitment. I'm sure he's a great kid, but I like the guys that know what they want and make a decision.
November 11th, 2012 at 5:14 PM ^
So just because he doesn't know yet, you're ready to toss him to the curb? That's just dumb. So he wasn't ready to make up his mind 8-10 months prior to signing day like the rest of the class. Big deal. He's taking his time, checking all available options, and then making a decision. He doens't have to decide anything until Feb. If anything, by taking his time and exploring all his options, he's handling his recruitment smarter than most. But label him an attention whore and drama queen if you must.
November 12th, 2012 at 5:15 AM ^
I'm not throwing him to the curb; in fact, I say that I want him for four years. However, i'm tired of every recruiting article and call to Sam Webb asking for a Treadwell update. Just stop talking about him until he commits.
My other point is still valid. I like the guys that look at their schools and decide, even if it's not for Michigan.

Tell Conley he can play wide receiver and move on.
November 11th, 2012 at 4:26 PM ^
Conley knows he can play wide receiver... but unfortunately he committed too soon and wants to take visits now, or at least his mom really wants him to take visits. Treadwell always loved the attention of the process, so this new development is not surprising. Green on the other hand always stated that he will let the process play out, and the fact that 2 of his top choices will probably be losing their head coaches in the near future, is making him reassess everything.
November 11th, 2012 at 5:44 PM ^
Where do you get that Treadwell "loves the process" and Green is "taking his tim." As far as I remember Treadwell and Green have both always maintained that they are going to be taking their time, explore all of their options, and will commit when the feeling is right.
November 11th, 2012 at 6:22 PM ^
Green always maintained that, although according to sources he was considering committing during the BBQ... Treadwell was dropping hints that he might commit to Michigan a while ago and then backed off... then he was dropping hints about Florida... he is the type who likes the attention, so it is not surprising that he wants "more love" from Michigan.
November 11th, 2012 at 7:30 PM ^
when did he ever drop hints about Florida?
November 12th, 2012 at 8:48 AM ^
After Treadwell and Morris were at a camp, Treadwell started tweeting all sorts of information about Florida, there was a minor freakout about that on this board because apparently many people thought that he was a Michigan lock.
November 11th, 2012 at 10:13 PM ^
November 12th, 2012 at 8:50 AM ^
Treadwell was not the BBQ, he was at a camp with Morris... Green was the one according to sources who was considering committing to Michigan at that time. Other than that he always stated that he would take all his visits and then decide.

Is it just me or do we rarely get these big recruits that draw out this process and seem wishy washy for lack of a better word? That's the feeling I get, which is why I doubt we get Treadwell or Green. These just don't seem to go our way, although the chances would say they don't go in any one team's way due to the many offers they have and only one place they go. Usuallly if it walks like a duck, it's a duck. When guys wanna be here they are. If there is rumors swirling they have interest elsewhere, they are wavering in a committment, they take a long time to decide where to commit, etc. it's because they aren't committed to us! They are merely moderately interested in us. Anwyays...I'm not holding my breath.
November 11th, 2012 at 4:24 PM ^
If the competition for Green is Tenn and Auburn have to think we have a great shot. Both programs are absolute disaster areas.
November 11th, 2012 at 5:48 PM ^
Yeah, but both schools desperately need a stud running back. That won't change regardless of who is coaching there. Both are still in the SEC, both will recruit well regardless of record, and both should attrach a top flight coach so the future at both of those schools is much brighter than their current dismal state would imply.
November 11th, 2012 at 6:17 PM ^
As long as Saban and Miles are in their division the future is not that bright for Auburn. Plus Texas A&M looks like they are going to be pretty good. Auburn has a highly rated running back already committed. Plus we have seen what changing a coach does to that year's recruiting class.
November 11th, 2012 at 6:23 PM ^
If it is all but guaranteed that they will end up with great coaches, how did they end up with such terrible coaches? Of course they can only go up in the long run, but that doesn't mean that they will end up with great coaches this time around or that it won't take a while for them to get back to where they want to be.
Also, while we have some capable backs, it is not like anybody has a stranglehold on the RB position.

When it comes to someone so gifted is it ever time to start accepting the loss and focusing on the next guy?
Worth the fight?
November 11th, 2012 at 4:07 PM ^
but it seems to me that if I were, I wouldn't be begging for love...
November 11th, 2012 at 4:18 PM ^
November 11th, 2012 at 4:19 PM ^
but seriously we NEED this guy, our receiving corp next year is going to be incredibly weak without some stud Fr.
November 11th, 2012 at 5:10 PM ^
Amen. Braylon was the difference between some wins and losses. We can't say for sure that a stud WR wouldn't help win some games.
Recruiting - Don't hate the player, hate the game.
November 11th, 2012 at 5:50 PM ^
Hoke and company should be calling as much as possible. Treadwell could come in and be an immediate contributor next season. Can't say that about many freshman.
November 11th, 2012 at 10:33 PM ^
recruited? You seem to know a lot about what the staff should be doing. Maybe they are interested in your services.
November 11th, 2012 at 4:39 PM ^
November 11th, 2012 at 5:13 PM ^
I think that is least relevant with the WR position. Sure, the attitude of a QB can determine much on a football team (see: Pryor, Terelle). But neither Braylong nor Manningham were "great guys," and yet they were absolutely fine at completing the task of running fast and catching balls.
November 11th, 2012 at 5:51 PM ^
It sucks, but ND is having a special year and we look, as well as the BIG, to be a bit mediocre. The "what have you done for me lately" crowd will always prefer the shiny thing verses the steel.
November 11th, 2012 at 6:01 PM ^
Remember these are high school kids. I'm pretty sure none of us got the attention that these kids get on a daily basis. I didn't know what school I wanted to go to coming out of HS and I didn't have coaches calling me every single day. If we get him, great. If not, I'm sure it isn't for lack of attention.
November 11th, 2012 at 6:05 PM ^
November 11th, 2012 at 6:09 PM ^
Remember when people would be all like"This feels like Diamond's recruitment" and then a bunch of people would be all like"This is totally different." Well this is like the Diamond recruitment.
November 11th, 2012 at 6:16 PM ^
November 11th, 2012 at 6:48 PM ^
...love, eh? What sort of love is he expecting? He has a scholarship offer. I don't think the coaches can promise anything more than that.
Talented kid and I'm sure he'll make some team better, but give me a break with all of the drama.
November 11th, 2012 at 9:40 PM ^
Brady Hoke strikes me as somebody who would have absolutely zero interest in having high-maintenance players on his team. I'm 100% OK with that.
November 11th, 2012 at 6:53 PM ^
November 11th, 2012 at 7:29 PM ^
Avant/Breaston/Edwards tandem of WR's been? OH how I feel like I've taken those years for granted... :(. Now we just want ONE solid one. Come forth Treadwell and bathe in the maize and blue.
November 11th, 2012 at 8:04 PM ^
November 12th, 2012 at 12:01 AM ^
Do you at least realize why this post is completely inappropriate?
November 11th, 2012 at 8:47 PM ^
If we don't get Treadwell, it will hurt. PERIOD. We need playmakers on offense outside of the QB position.
November 11th, 2012 at 9:15 PM ^
Oh shes a diva
I feel the same and I wonna meet her
