I find it kind of interesting that the spread is a plus for him. For years it was the prostlye offenses that drew the best WRs.

Shane Morris is a pretty athletic kid, but Treadwell being recruited for a passing spread/pro style offense (which is basically becoming a passing spread). Good receivers can put up absurd numbers in those systems and there isn't the stigma that used to be placed on those type of players.

The Spread sounds like a code word for Criminal Justice Major. We'll see.

See Oklahoma ST WRs
Some spreads emphasize the passing game and getting the WR's involved more, see Okie St and Brian Kelly's offenses. The big issue with the spread is when the spread offense is more of a running based offensive scheme. When Arnett made that comment about the spread he was referring to RR's version of the spread which was heavily run-based. Although he passed more at Michigan, I think he ran the ball around 70% of the time at WV. Just depends on the offense. Also, the spread can play a more uptempo form of the game speeding the game up. Makes more possessions in the game which gives WRs more opportunities to make plays.

Has he visited Oklahoma and Oklahoma State yet? I'd feel a lot better about our chances if they are the main competition, which would mean Ohio State is not in his top 3

I just can't put my heart into this recruitment. I hope he chooses us but I've been left at the alter too many times by "Michigan leans". We will just wait and see.

Garnett and Levenberry were not Michigan leans. They were kids from not in the area that we were not the favorite for initially but just made up a ton of ground during their recruitment. The we lost at the last moment. It happens.

I've got a good feeling about
I've got a good feeling about Michigan's chances with Treadwell. When Smith committed, Green was on campus, and Isaac's reaction to there being only one spot left for a RB was to go visit USC, twice. When York committed, Treadwell's reaction was to shorten his time table and spend a weekend on campus with his potential future QB. They say an interview is over in the first five minutes. The rest of the time is spent confirming the first impression. I went to Michigan out of state, and I vividly remember the first time I was on campus. I loved it, went home and spent the next few months doing more school research so I could dig up more and more evidence to support my initial gut feel. I don't know why it'd be any different for recruits. That's why reaction to a numbers crunch is very telling (for recruits and fans alike). It's can force you to imagine how you'd feel if someone else committed first and took your spot. Like thinking about the girl you'd kinda like to ask to the prom getting asked out by someone else first. If it sparks some jealousy, you know you like her, if not, move on.

Because it assumes that he establishes himself as a deep threat. As "elite" as he may be, nothing is a sure thing and certainly not in college football.

Good news
Did anyone else find it interesting when he said he was getting us to haging out with the other michigan commits? You only have to get use to something you intend on continuing to do.

Inverse ratio on this site
Inverse ratio on this site between pre-commitment hype and UM commitment. I'm done reading recruit threads for at least 2 years until we actually start winning some of these Garnett, Pryor, Dunn, Isaac, Levenberry, Diamond situations.
