This may be a blessing in disguise. He may end up being a great player and that's fine. Michigan will do just fine without him. He will probably be ''The Man'' at Ole Miss, I followed him on Twitter for awhile and he seems to be the type of kid that's all about the glitz and glamour. If that's true, maybe he didn't think he would get the attention he wants at Michigan. We may never know, but I won't miss him that's for sure.

If he is looking for glitz and glamour, Oxford, Mississippi is probably not the town for him.

Michigan will be fine. Our last couple receiving classes, though not ideal, aren't as awful as some of you imply. They just look weak compared to our stellar recruiting elsewhere. If you believe that football teams should be built from WRs in, I know a former Lions GM whom you'd find brilliant.

Different perspectives, I guess. I can't understand going online and posting a "suck it, you'll regret this" message to a harmless 17-year-old kid who decided to attend a college that doesn't host your favorite football team.
Ideally, I wouldn't feel the need to write a "congrats"/"too much hostility here" message, but it's sometimes nice to convey that not every Michigan fan shares the perspective that's most often posted.

is appropriate. A 100+ post thread consisting mostly of admonishments to a kid for choosing a school we don't like is a little embarrassing.

and he's not even from Mississippi to give it the 'hometown school' thing. He could've probably gone to any BCS school he wanted to and he picked probably one of the 5 most pathetic. Strange choice. I expect that the next time I hear his name is when he's a 4th round draft back in 4-5 years

...in Oxford, "We not win the game, but we've never lost the party." A Saturday in The Grove can be very, very persuasive.

Yeah, people are usually too quick to drag out the "the coaches didn't want him anymore/we cooled on him" rhetoric but there does appear to be at least some validity to the notion that UM and a few other schools (e.g. the schools with good academic traditions) did in fact "cool" on Treadwell.
Supposedly, Standifer was basically encouraged to de-commit last year because of academics and it would not surprise me if the same thing happened with Treadwell as his final three schools are not exactly academic powerhouses with Ole Miss being one of the worst schools in the country in that regard.

coaches at a Chicago HS about 20 miles from Crete-Monee and he stated the "academic readiness" is an issue (it's known by league coaches) and probably just as much a school faulure as an individual shortcoming.
The school is reputedly poor at prepping these kids and deficient with student records.
UM isn't right for everyone for a bunch of reasons. Onward.

with a legacy of racism. George Wallace stood in the schoolhouse door at the University of Alabama in 1963 in an attempt to prevent the integration of that august institution, and that didn't prevent Vivian Jones and James Hood from enrolling, even though they certainly were aware of the open and virulent hostility of the majority of their white classmates and Tuscaloosa residents. If they were able to deal with it, I wouldn't expect that guys like Standifer or Treadwell would be frightened away from Mississippi. Racism is obviously still around, but it's a far cry from the days when the Klan operated openly without any opposition.

Whatever happened with him, I saw that he was still waiting for an Oregon offer that has yet to come, and didn't look like he committed anywhere. Top notch track speed and an athletic wide receiver sounds like a good combo to me.

I know treadwell didnt pick michigan because of other reasons...
but the thing i am interested to know is whats really stopping elite receivers from coming to michigan.....although i am not an expert ...i see elite WRs not chosing us under 2 regimes now...(although its too early with hoke)
is it because elite WRs are a clan who generally tend to be not that high on academics?
or is there a systemic problem?
the experts please chime in......
