UPDATE: Laquon Treadwell Not Visiting Ann Arbor this Weekend

According to Sarah Hughes, Crete-Monee Wide Receiver Laquon Treadwell will be visiting ann arbor this weekend.

. tells me he'll be visiting Ann Arbor this Friday.

Any visit is a good sign, and in the case of Treadwell, who is starting to become a regular in Ann Arbor, this is a great sign.  I will stress however,  I do not expect that he will commit this weekend.  Despite the addition of an additional WR in Csont'e York to our ever improving 2013 recruiting class, and that there are fewer spots available for him, I would be shocked if he chose us this weekend.  His high school coach doesn't allow decommitments and doesn't allow his players to visit other schools once they have commited somewhere (something that Treadwell has stated many times that he intends to do).  I hope he takes his time and makes the right and informed decision...assuming that decision lands him in a winged helmet.

UPDATE: Laquon just tweeted that there has been a change in plans, and he will not be visiting Ann Arbor this weekend.

No visit this week change of plans

I believe that was a mutual decision by Standifer and the coaches.  If I remember correctly, he did not take spanish in high school which meant he could not qualify/would not be admitted to UM.  His coach has a very strict policy against taking visits once you are committed.

He doesn't *allow* decommits? Why would it be his decision? Do you think maybe the player and his parents could make that call?

If the coach is just trying to teach good behavior, great, but if he's controlling the process, not so much. We've seen too much of that lately.

I won't expect a commit, but I don't think it's out of the question.  I heard that the spring game visit really helped us, plus he's already taken a ton of un-officials, so he doesn't really need the official visits to actually see schools.  The officials would be purely for fun and to get catered on.  Certainly everyone would want that, but if he also really likes Michigan, he would move his timetable up and sacrifice the officials.  He could still take an official to UM.  Oh, and he might be staying with Shane Morris this weekend...

Treadwell would hypothetically just be asking to have a spot saved for him so he could commit after the season or whenever.
