ACE: Catching Up With Laquon Treadwell

Though Crete (IL) Monee receiver Laquon Treadwell maintains he has no favorites, Michigan has been a constant presence in his recruitment and they are, at the very least, among his leaders. Treadwell picked up offers from Nebraska and Indiana in December to go along with early offers from Michigan and Notre Dame, and the four-star receiver recently was named to the MaxPreps 2011 Junior All-American first team after a stellar junior season. I caught up with Laquon this afternoon, and he talked about the status of his recruitment, including an early top five:

ACE: First of all, I know you added a couple offers in December. Which teams are having the most contact with you right now?

LAQUON: The teams with the most contact would have to be Ohio State, Nebraska, Notre Dame, and Michigan.

ACE: Three of those teams have come through with offers—Nebraska, Michigan, and Notre Dame—and you've also got one from Indiana, correct?

LAQUON: Yes.

ACE: Would you say you've got any favorites right now?

LAQUON: I don't have any favorites, but I do have a top five that I like.

ACE: And what's the top five?

LAQUON: Michigan, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Nebraska, and then Tennessee—oh yeah, I've been hearing from Tennessee, too.

ACE: Did you get a chance to watch the Sugar Bowl last night?

LAQUON: No, I didn't. I was actually watching the [Semper Fidelis] high school All-American game, and then I didn't get a chance to watch.

ACE: How is everything going for you with your basketball season?

LAQUON: It's going good. We're 12-3 right now, just lost in the championship game of a Christmas tournament, but it's going pretty good.

ACE: Are you planning on making it to any junior days or camps during the offseason?

LAQUON: I haven't made any plans about any visits because a lot of coaches have been pretty busy lately and I haven't heard from them, so I haven't had the chance to make any visits happen. I plan on over the offseason trying to do Core 6 [a training facility for high school athletes in Illinois]—they have a showcase thing with Fox [news coverage] and all that.

ACE: We just came out of a dead period for recruiting, but have Michigan's coaches been in contact with you at all recently, or has it been quiet on that front?

LAQUON: It's been quiet, for all the coaches actually. I haven't heard from a coach in about a week, a week or two.
