This week's scouting report is on Crete (IL) Crete-Monee wide receiver Laquon Treadwell. I had a hard time coming up with a player comparison for him, because he's different than a lot of the guys Michigan has seen over the last 20 years or so. I do think he's a good prospect and could really excel with Shane Morris throwing him the ball.

Think I heard he's supposed to be visiting for a Spring practice soon for a 3rd or 4th time which is a good sign

Nice, thanks for posting.
Nice, thanks for posting. Besides Isaac, he's probably the top recruit that I hope jumps on board.
Also, just because I can't help but notice: the first line in the report says "Holes offers from..." I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be holds, no?
Fixed it. Thanks!

Thanks for posting this.
His tape is full of long TDs, but honestly the guys chasing him look slow to me. VERY impressive offer list, so I'm sure he's a legit 4*.

It's not the greatest competition, so yeah, I don't think he's going to be catching tons of 80-yard touchdowns in college. But he's got pretty good speed.
Long strider -
looks like he's got that classic 2-strides = 5 yards thing going for him.

He's tall so he should have long strides.
You would think, but
every guy runs differently. Denard is a long-strider, whereas A-train's strides were quite short. I'm pretty sure A-train is a bit taller than Denard.

Denard doesn't stride. He floats.
Agreed...
great catch. I need to proofread my comments better before I post.

He's loving the recruiting process more than any other recruit so far this year. He's always re-tweeting people telling him to go to there school it seems to be between Michigan, Notre Dame, and OSU. I hope we get this kid, I could see him being the guy who bring back the #1 jersey.

Treadwell on the back of anything other than a maize and blue jersey just doesn't seem right to me. It's like...it was meant to be.

Magnus, where would you say Treadwell ranks among the WRs you have scouted in the 2013 class?

Of the guys we've offered, I would probably only put him behind Robert Foster for sure. Dukes, Gladney, Wheelwright, Bradshaw, Quick, Massington, Onwualu, and Oliver would be behind him. I haven't watched enough of Stringfellow, LeMay, Daniels, Larue, Ateman, or Benjamin to figure where they would fit in.
I know we talk about recruiting ad nauseum 'round these parts, and maybe I missed something recently, but are there any updates on his status? I know he was at one-time a very heavy Michigan lean, but haven't heard much in weeks. It would be cool if he hopped aboard the Hoke Express.
