Laquon Treadwell now a four star on 247
October 19th, 2011 at 5:31 PM ^
How long until he is going to announce?
October 19th, 2011 at 5:34 PM ^
October 19th, 2011 at 5:33 PM ^
October 19th, 2011 at 5:44 PM ^
He would also be between 69-125 overall if he was in the 2012 class.
October 19th, 2011 at 5:37 PM ^
Class of 2013
October 19th, 2011 at 5:37 PM ^
Is there a chance that he is highly rated partially because he got an early offer from Michigan?
October 19th, 2011 at 5:40 PM ^
He has an offer from Notre Dame as well.
October 19th, 2011 at 5:41 PM ^
Maybe, but it'll drop immediately once he commits.
October 20th, 2011 at 8:03 AM ^
Then he would get a 5th star.
October 19th, 2011 at 5:44 PM ^
October 19th, 2011 at 5:40 PM ^
Notre Dame has also offered. In fact, he'll be in South Bend this weekend for the USC game.
October 19th, 2011 at 5:43 PM ^
With his mom?
October 19th, 2011 at 5:45 PM ^
I hope so. We're good with moms.
October 19th, 2011 at 6:10 PM ^
Damn, well done, sir
October 19th, 2011 at 6:12 PM ^
Hopefully ND give him the Justice Hayes treatment.
October 19th, 2011 at 6:17 PM ^
Explain please?
October 19th, 2011 at 6:29 PM ^
Supposedly Justice Hayes decommitted from Notre Dame because he felt he didn't receive enough attention on his official visit.
ND has almost 50 recruits coming this Saturday. Treadwell might not get as much attention as he would at another game.
October 19th, 2011 at 6:43 PM ^
Thanks for the clarification. Sounds like the stars are aligning in our favor.
October 19th, 2011 at 7:15 PM ^
October 19th, 2011 at 8:44 PM ^
He didn't say it wouldn't be fun at all, just that he liked our chances, as do I.
October 19th, 2011 at 9:13 PM ^
I would have previously rooted for ND to get a solid win that may help make our win over them look better, but with 50 recruits in town, several of which I'm sure will be UM targets (Treadwell and Payton are the ones I know of), I think I'd rather USC win an ugly one UTL.
October 19th, 2011 at 6:33 PM ^
Justice Hayes committed to ND over Michigan. During the season he went on his official visit to ND.
He said this after his visit and decommitment.
"Last weekend when I went to the [Notre Dame] game I was just uncomfortable with a couple of situations," Hayes told rivals.com. "Me and my family ultimately decided to open back up my recruiting process."
He basically felt ignored by the ND coaching staff.
October 19th, 2011 at 8:51 PM ^
Maybe they mistakenly called him Isaac?
October 20th, 2011 at 4:19 AM ^
I hate when people do that, seriously.
My name's not Tom.
October 19th, 2011 at 5:51 PM ^
possible cryptic tweet standifer retweeted a couple days ago a guy he knew saying "I just realized that two of my crete highschool boys are going to Michigan"
who knows but I like the idea
October 19th, 2011 at 7:22 PM ^
Could be regular students?
Hate to be a buzzkill, he probably just realized that he wasn't from Crete attending UM. Love speculation though..
[edit: nvm, saw "retweeted" my bad]
October 19th, 2011 at 7:24 PM ^
just taking visits to UM, not necessarily committing yet
October 19th, 2011 at 6:32 PM ^
A few more phone calls from Sugar Shane and he'll be a Wolverine!
October 19th, 2011 at 6:46 PM ^
Someone should tweet Treadwell that WN video of Shane throwing an 80 yard bomb. I don't think any explanation will be necessary.
October 19th, 2011 at 7:52 PM ^
Ok, do you think I should send him a link to Shane's Facebook page in case they aren't friends yet? I'm not friends with Laquon so I don't know who he's friends with.

....damn you to hell
October 19th, 2011 at 6:44 PM ^
October 19th, 2011 at 6:51 PM ^
I know a guy that knows a guy...Mr. T has made a habit of talking to T-Rich about Michigan recently..I feel good about him.
October 19th, 2011 at 10:38 PM ^
Knows a guy that knows that T-rich is talking to Mr. T. I hope he treads well.
October 19th, 2011 at 6:52 PM ^
This is good news going into next year class.
October 19th, 2011 at 7:27 PM ^
If I was a WR being recruited by ND (like Payton and Treadwell) they would not be as high on my list as if I were at another position.
ND has 3 WRs committed in this class (more if either of the "athletes" play receiver) and no QBs. The year before, the only QB they signed was the #16 dual threat QB, a three star, who is listed at 6'0". They also had three receivers signed in 2011.
Compare that to UM who didn't sign a WR in 2011, has the #1 Dual Threat QB around for a while and has a 5 star QB committed for 2013.
October 19th, 2011 at 8:53 PM ^
Why not?
ND spreads the football around and throws...a lot.
That 3* QB you mentioned is Everett Golson. He's not a slouch. He threw for over 11,000 yards in high school with almost 150 touchdown passes. His junior year of high school he posted an astounding 15:1 TD to INT ratio (47 TD to 3 INT), then in limited action his senior year he threw for another 25 TDs to only 2 INTs. Star rating doesn't matter in this case. He's a perfect fit for the offense Kelly runs.
October 19th, 2011 at 9:00 PM ^
The index for rating a player's potential doesn't matter, but HS stats do?
October 19th, 2011 at 9:03 PM ^
Golson could fail at ND. I'm not disputing that.
I was just saying that ND isn't barren at QB as (at least I think so, but what do I know) was implied.
October 19th, 2011 at 9:18 PM ^
All I know is that if Payton or Treadwell decide on Michigan over Notre Dame, some Notre Dame fan on this blog will once again duly note that the Irish coaching staff cooled on the kid and that they are in on much better players.
October 19th, 2011 at 9:20 PM ^
I don't think he's arguing that Golson will fail. Hell, he could do really well. Cousins was a three star and he turned out okay. What he's pointing out is that you're denigrating the most commonly accepted metric for evaluating potential (star value) in favor of high-school stats which are ridiculously variable and impossible to compare between players (variable team talent, SOS, etc). His metric incorporates yours plus all those other intangibles in an effort at parity.
October 19th, 2011 at 9:57 PM ^
of a 3 star turning out like Cousins are...not good.
October 19th, 2011 at 10:36 PM ^
Right, I'm not saying Golson will fail, just that if I had a choice between Golson and nobody or Gardner and Morris, from the perspective of a WR, Michigan has the advantage.
October 19th, 2011 at 9:28 PM ^
They also produced a few recent NFL talents at WR...
