In three years, Michigan's offense is going to look a ton like what Penn State's offense looks like this year, but with Shane Morris replacing Matt McGloin. In other words, tons of four yard carries and 7 yard completions to "posession" receivers.

Can't say it would piss me off either. But dang, we are shaping up to be a seriously boring football team to watch. I'm having visions of 1998, which is when we beat Iowa, NW, and Minny by respective scores of 12-9, 12-6, and 15-10.

Second, nice to change the narrative a little bit with the decommit/potential for one talk.
Third, awesome name.
Here's hoping for a bright future. This team does try hard and I will continue to support them.

Neg away, but this staff's WR recruiting leaves much to be desired. Based on recruit ratings, Michigan will have an elite OL and QB, pretty decent talent at RB and TE, and MAC-level receivers. Should be some exciting games the next few years if this doesn't change.
Defense for the win!

Honestly, I wonder if this
Honestly, I wonder if this
Honestly, I wonder if this has anything to do with the weird tendency for wide receivers to have a diva side to their personalities and a possible lack of mutual interest between more diva-like prospects and Michigan football (where the style of our current coaches and program is more down-to-earth than flashy).
Regardless... welcome, Da'Mario.

Obviously we are still in it
Obviously we are still in it
Obviously we are still in it for a few top rated WRs but I really don't think we'll see a committment of several top rated WRs in one class until people see how our quarterbacks develop in the pro-style system and how borges implements it. What will really help the QBs progress is a solid & effective stable of RBs, so let's hope that happens.

Welcome Da'Mario
Welcome Da'Mario
Happy to land Da'Mario, but it's nonetheless concerning that at this point in the recruiting process more highly rated talent is going than coming. Then again, Jake Ryan wasn't highly touted and I'd take 11 of him on defense any day. Either way welcome Da'Mario!
Strength equipment is expensive and guarantees you nothing. A strong will is free and can give you everything you want.

Recruiting stars don't mean
Recruiting stars don't mean
Recruiting stars don't mean much these days, given all the studs that come out of nowhere (Jake Ryan). I trust the coaching staff on this kid. They must see something in him that they really like. If they can hit a diamond in the rough like Stribling, I have faith that this kid will be just fine.

I'm sure all u fans that don't want him because he's not a 5* wr, you must not be a 5* fan, we have some of the most whinniest and unappreciative fans. I'm sure every college does. But sheesh. This is Michigan Fergodsake!

Only thing that scares me is that Treadwell tweeted "Another....Umm" after he committed hope the nombers dont change Quans mind

Saw that too
Saw that too
What does the kid think, that there would be no competition wherever he goes? Michigan needs tall recievers and they need a backup plan in case Treadwell doesn't come. From what I've seen on Treadwell though, he shouldn't worry about the competition at Michigan...he probably will be the best reciever on the roster if he comes here next year.

He's look at like 6 different schools, and does things other than "get recruited". Just because that's the extent of your interest in him doesn't mean it's all he tweets about.

Welcome aboard Da'Mario.
Welcome aboard Da'Mario. Great to have you as a M Wolverine.
A 3* offered after his Senior year of HS is complete, is probably more likely to workout for the program than a 4 star verbal from the summer before his Senior season. More overall info, less time for recruit to get restless, in all, just more time for staff to do their due diligence.
If you look at Da'Mario compared to Dukes and York, he looks to be faster and more explosive than both those guys, yet they are probably higher rated. Figuring out the difference between a 3* and a 4* can be incomprehensible at times

Jumped the gun?
Jumped the gun?
My first thought is why didn't we just wait on Treadwell? It isn't like this kid was going anywhere he woulda commited on signing day. With that being said, looking at how weak we are at that position I highly doubt it affects Treadewells decision because he would be the best wr we have when and if he steps on campus.
GO BLUE!

Didn't see the YouTube highlights posted, so here they are:
At least from the clips, it looks like he has good hands and is a good route runner, which would be a big plus for the West Coast offense schemes certainly.

Let's just cross our fingers.
Let's just cross our fingers. There is conflicting information out there on this kid. Sam Webb has been talking him up for weeks saying he's got good speed. But the evals that have been posted don't indicate that speed is his strong suit. This is a crap shoot. Bottom line is we need to get Treadwell. Our skill position players are questionable to say the least...
