Westland John Glenn (Mich.) senior WR Da'Mario Jones has committed to #Michigan - full story coming: http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=162&f=1088&t=10277488 …
Wouldn't be surprised if the staff spoke with Conley and they decided to fill his spot with a WR. I don't think this means Treadwell is off the table.
No LaQuan?
You have to wonder if something fishy isn't going on
when Ole Miss is in a midwest kid's list of finalists.
My hopes for Treadwell are not high.
when
someone doesn't choose Michigan, it doesn't always mean something fishy is going on. His best friend (former M committ) Anthony Standifer goes there and I'm sure he's having a great time when he visits.

You know, Dude, I myself dabbled in pacifism once. Not in 'Nam of course.
you don't think
when recruits come to Michigan they are showed a good time by their hosts? You have your head in the ground if you think this doesn't happen at Michigan.
I'm sure UM has their own
I'm sure UM has their own hosts/hostesses, it's just that there's never been any evidence or even stories about us whoring girls out for recruits
As for the SEC schools doing it, I don't think it's as prevalent as OP suggested, but there's definitely been more stories from down South than up here
If you're doing nothing, how do you know when you're finished?
One of my best friends in HS
One of my best friends in HS said on his recruiting visit to Wisconsin all the recruits on the trip were lined up outside a room. The room was full of women giving them all BJs. He had a lot of fun on the trip. He committed to ND though. 100% true story.

Those weren't women.

How did he do with the herpes?
I'm not
suggesting anything so blatant as whoring out girls, but I'm sure the recruits may be at parties where the girls in attendance would be more than happy to recieve the attention of a high profile future athlete.
How can you quote a book
written by one person as evidence?
Yes
Everyone knows that a book must contain at least 3 authors to qualify as valid evidence.
Ole Miss?
I don't know what they do over there, but they sure are great at the "one-visit close." I'm guessing that something must be happening that recruits see as really special during their visits. I wonder what that could be?
he didn't not choose Michigan
I'm just guessing he won't. In general, I agree with you, but I'm less likely to agree when it's a (relatively) local kid turning down Michigan for a distant program with far less prestige, inferior academics, and arguably less opportunity for immediate playing time. This isn't Trey DePreist going to Alabama or DeAnthoney Arnett going to Tennessee. There are other factors to consider, and every kid has different priorities, but in this circumstance it is reasonable to wonder...
He hasn't chosen Michigan,
Because he doesn't want to commit, then de-commit to take visits. Relax, he is still in play.
I am chill, dude
I just don't think he's coming here given how things are playing out and the fact that we have 3 WRs already committed.
We need the depth at WR.

that's a good point
Maybe it's as simple as wanting to see his freind. And the Oklahoma/Ok State interest is also logical...
suspicion level lowered
yup
I kind of doubt we land any of the Green, McQuay, Treadwell trio.

I sure as hell hope not!
That might not leave a spot for Laquon.

I am thinking
I am thinking this may be the writing on the wall regarding Conley. We will see though.
EDIT: OP edits faster than I can post. Welcome Da'Mario!
I love Greg Mattison
If Conley is gone, hopefully we're replacing one sleeper
with another "sleeper".
Probably to replace Conley
If Gareon had set up a visit to OSU that opens up another spot. Doubt it takes the Quan's place.
Those who stay will be champions.

Judging by what has happened the past 48 hours or so...
I would guess that this has little impact on the three remaining recruits we are looking at (Green, Treadwell and McQuay). I would say it is 100% Conley being out of the picture. Any scouting reports on this guy?
Was
Was Conley being recruited as a WR or DB?
DB
He was recruited as a DB but has had a very good season at WR.
He was recruited as a corner
He was recruited as a corner originally, but more recently, the coaches had informed him that he could play wide receiver, too.
Conley still has to speak
Conley still has to speak with Hoke about his OSU visit...he isn't 'gone' yet.
It's one of two thing:
1) Conley is definitely gone and the staff knows it. The public didn't until now.
2) Treadwell is no longer on the table.
What every longshot, come from behind, underdog will tell ya is this... The other guy, may in fact, be the favorite. The odds may be stacked against you, fair enough. But what the odds don't know is...this isn't a math test.
Or, given the state of our WR
Or, given the state of our WR corps, more WR's are a priority.

Our WR isn't a shallow group.
Our WR isn't a shallow group. Forgetting about Darboh? Chesson?
Remember when Darboh was the talk of the town after the spring?

Darboh was an Iowa high
Darboh was an Iowa high school student in the spring.
Also, if you look at this:
Jackson - J. Robinson - R. Miller - Dileo - Gallon - Darboh - Chesson
and see more than 1 solid starting WR in 2013, go to the eye doctor. This team needs WRs.
God, that's downright

I'm sure that nobody is ready
I'm sure that nobody is ready to count Chesson and Darboh as sure things at this point.
Our return corps will be:
Dileo - SR
Gallon - SR
Jackson - SR
Darboh - Soph
Chesson - RS Freshman
Robinson - RS JR
that's pretty dark.
wolverineliberationarmy.com/blog
not too bad
It's better than this year's WR group because Darboh/Chesson in their 2nd year are probably better than Roundtree (at least on the outside)...and those three seniors should be further improved as well. Plus you get the 3 freshman (or more?) getting a shot.
Anyway, that's plenty of depth for a team that will continue to run a lot of 2TE sets.
It's plenty of depth, yes.
It's plenty of depth, yes. but the two players closest to "established" on that list are seniors (Dileo, Gallon). I think it makes sense to get a bunch of guys at this point, given that we don't know for sure if we have ANYTHING at this point
wolverineliberationarmy.com/blog
I agree with your point
Esepcially once Dileo, Gallon, and Jackson depart - you don't even have a reliable complementary/slot/possession guy anymore.
They have to buy as many lotto tickets as they can.
The Jones offer/commitment could mean a number of things or a combination of a number of them.
WR is obviously a need but taking 4 seems like overkill for an offense that is investing heavily in TEs, FBs, and RBs. OL and QB aren't positions that I want to skimp on numbers at....though I do take it as sign of confidence in the '12 OL class that they aren't seeking to replace Dawson exclusively with another OL. Especially considering most (all?) of those kids are going to play extensively next year.
Are we THAT invested in RB's?
Are we THAT invested in RB's? The approach, to me, appears to be similar to our WR approach - a slew of 3-stars, with a very highly-rated hope in play.

You forgot Treadwell.
You forgot Treadwell.
I got the shotgun. You got the briefcase. It's all in the game though, right?
OR
Conley is PROBABLY gone and the coaching staff doesn't think Treadwell is likely.
No LaQuan?
