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.
.@SuccessfulQuon tells me he'll be visiting Ann Arbor this Friday.#team134
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
Just commit already LT. You know this is home.
Do it. Please?
[EDIT: This still applies - Treadwell, please visit this weekend or sometime soon.]
His coach doesn't allow decommits? That's kickass.
Wasn't a decommit. Parted ways mutually because of acedemic qualifiying.
I think there was a little more behind that than just a typical de-commit.
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.
Ever heard of a player being in a coach's doghouse? He can punish in many ways other than restricting playing time.
The coach won't assist in the recruiting process for the kid anymore, scheduling visits, handling college coaches, sending out film, etc
I disagree. I'm betting that he commits this weekend. I'm not rabacking it, but I'd bet on it.
Certainly not -- BKFinest brings bad karma (Zettel). At least Raback got it right!
but Dorsey never made it to campus. I don't think I'd Raback anything because of, you know, bad karma.
The real question is, are you willing to bdsisme it?
on what our old recruiting Superman (*tear) has to say, you are about a buckle shy in your assumption that York's commitment didn't change things.
Don't walk all over him.
Treadwell was just quoted as saying UM will save a spot for him, regardless.
Another Levenberry/Ty Isaac situation. Makes sense...still hope he commits just so 15 people won't call him every other day for an update.
Grrrrrrr you double post!
Follow your heart!
You know it to be true! (minus the evil)
EDIT: Screw it, I couldn't get the auto-start time to work properly. Skip to 21s to get the original idea.
What does the Party Room have to say on the subject? I value PR's opinion above all others.
Uh, its 'THE PARTY ROOM'. Don't disrespect THE PARTY ROOM by not using all caps.
exactly.
.
no one should disrespect THE PARTY ROOM by using non-capital letter, anyone who thinks otherwise IS A FOOL.
.
have you no brain? THE PARTY ROOM knows much, and IS FULL OF a great deal of anything from beautfiul women to which recruitS HIT it off with us.
.
YES.

i know this for I AM his humblest of profits. THE PINNACLE of his wisdom flows through the veins OF me. HUMAN UNDERSTANDING has nothing upon his wisdom.
This is how I see THE_KNOWLEDGE:
This is how I see you:
... a fitting signature.
You know it feels right.
Based on a tweet about Shane being his travel agent, this was in the works before York came into the fold. On the other hand, I don't know how many times you need to come to Ann Arbor before you make the call. Maybe we'll get lucky?
Came before the York commitment, but also after his visit, offer, and subsequent positive vibes. A coach could have let him know that another WR spot may be gone soon.
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...
Question: At what point did Laquon decide he was going to visit this weekend? Before or after Csont'e('s?) commitment?
This would help me determine how often I should check into mgoblog this weekend.
As already mentioned, before. But that doesn't mean there couldn't be good news anyway.
Yeah.. I was apparently just a tad too slow to get that one in. Question answered mid-type. I'm just going to go ahead and say it still probably won't keep me from pissing off my girlfriend at least once this weekend. She's not a big fan of "magoblog."
Many a relationship has suffered do the need to buckle up. But safety before all, eh? Eh?
Also, even if this was in the works before York's committment, it is possible this changes things. Or that he was just getting tired of it all anyway, a la so many other top recruits out there.
I'd be shocked if he didn't commit. What's the point of visiting yet again? Unofficials cost money and take time. What would it say if he visited againt and didn't commit?
Silent commit? That way, he can reserve his spot without telling his HS coach and still take his officials.
I don't think Hoke would allow him to do that with their whole "visitng elsewhere=not committed" belief.
It doesn't seem like the same situation to me and I don't think anyone knows if Hoke would consider it the same. Pharaoh Brown had already committed and suddenly wanted to take visits. Treadwell would hypothetically just be asking to have a spot saved for him so he could commit after the season or whenever.
