2013 Recruiting Hotlist

    Yea I wouldn't put much stock in that statement. I recall him saying the same thing back around May and he came out later and said he was misquoted.

    Yeah, he has said he talks to Coach Heck and Montgomery.

    Why not Mich st? Of course we view them in a certain light as fans but as a school academically they are adequate. A lot of prospects give high praise to their coaching staff. It's not ridiculous to have them in a top 5. Then when was it a prerequisite to visit a school in order to hold them in high regard? Or in the top 5? UM is a lot of kids top school and many haven't been to our campus either. Treadwell likes their offense and has a good relationship with their coaches. You're entitled to your opinion but there is nothing different or odd with what Treadwell is doing compared to a lot of kids going thru the same recruiting plot.

    He is not even really interested in that school. It's one thing to not visit a school but have them in high regard and talk to reporters about MSU's games and their school. LT has done none of that. He barely mentions MSU.

    Completely missing his point.

    Personally, I could not give a rats butt if he takes till NSD. Stop making ridiculous lists, i.e. top-5, top-3, top-10, etc. every 3 months. The individuals on this board that cry 'he is just a kid' are correct. However, LT's parents should step in and show some maturity in the process, which the teenager lacks IMHO.

    I don't really mind what LT is doing. I mean, listen to Brady Hoke's pressers. We want him to give us insider information about what he's thinking about doing with the team. Does he give us ANYTHING? Nope, because it's not in his or the team's best interest, and thats fine because it's what smart coaches do.

    Same with Treadwell. So what if we all want to know where he is really leaning, what's it to him? He gets a chance to see the country, visit great campuses, and create cool experiences that many of our commits aren't getting right now.

    He has worked very hard to become a top prospect, and he has earned the right to not show his hand. If coaches can be completely vague through entire pressers, why cant Treadwell do the same during interviews.

    I just don't see why his parents should be stepping in at all. shrug

    LT recently said that he hasn't been hearing from U of M A's much as he used to. With that being said, clearly they and we still want him.

    I am not missing the point. I think your opinion that he is a diva is complete bullshit. I think you saying he lacks maturity because he keeps changing his mind is complete bullshit. I think you believing you have the right to say those things about a 17 year old kid going through the recruiting process is bullshit. Quon doesn't owe you, me or anyone else on this site jackshit. He can claim as many different lists as he wants, he can change it as much as he wants. You have no idea what he is hearing from schools, or how often he talks to different schools, what he is looking for in a school, etc...

    GO WILLY! toot. people need to lay off of LT. The kid has over 30 scholarship offers. this is a big decision for him. Everyone gets mad at his top 3,5,10 but at least he's consistent with them. his top schools always had michigan, oaklahoma, and oak st. that hasn't changed. ole miss got added because he visited and liked what he seen, plus standifer is their. We got the best academics from all his top schools, more fans, bigger stadium, better coaches, better recruiting classes, shane morris to throw to him, a o-line that might be the best in the country in couple years which will give morris a lot of time to pass the ball, already friends with some 2013 commits, more tradition, best rivalry game, beautiful campus, biggest indoor practice facility and the most important thing, we are close to illinois. his family can drive up to the games without any problems. just let it all play out. If i were him, I will take all my officials. once in a lifetime experience.

    What is elite? 5*? Top 50? Top 75? Top 100? Top...?

    Elite is a player where you say "holy shit" because you dont know what else to say being speechless about certain greatness in the near future

    A GREAT O-line can make a solid RB look elite. For all the changes that have occurred in the game on thing that hasn't changed in football is that it is won in the trenches.

    I absolutely hate hearing these analogies and platitudes.....such as a great DL makes the secondary look better. You know what looks better? Having both a great DL, great LB's, and a great secondary. You know whats better then having a great O-line? Having a great RB to make that O-line look even better. Dont be content being superficial and settle for this, because other programs are hitting on all cylinders, and not getting every piece of the puzzle is not good enough.

    Nobody has certain greatness. For every can't miss kid that made it, there is a can't miss kid who failed.

    A great RB can be rendered useless by an average oline. A great oline can make an average RB look very good.

    I never said he owed me anything ... and I can have my own opinion. I disagree with the composition of the outcomes within the process. Last I checked, Obama has not been able to squelch free speech ... yet.

    I stand by my original complaint... when you're considering Michigan and the coaching staff has put a great deal of effort into bringing you on board, and then you go and post #ROLLTIDE while they're thumping Michigan. If that doesn't speak toward his character, then we can agree to disagree.

    You sure do come off like you think he owes fans who follow recruiting something.

    lol And now you try to turn this into some Obama debate about free speech. You really are too much.

    lol He is not a Michigan commit. Sure we don't like the rolltide tweet but to say that speaks toward his character is just silly in my opinion.

    Plus at the time it may have been more of an observation than a cheer. The tide certainly was rolling. 8^(

    why is posting Roll Tide that huge of a deal? Perhaps he is a fan of Bama as well, who knows and who cares because its not that serious. You know Jabrill Peppers is a fan of UM and Ohio, so if he roots for Ohio while we are courting him he is a bad apple too? Treadwell isn't a commit, didn't grow up loving UM, his first exposure to UM started last yr when Standifer was being recruited, what harm or disrespect was in that statement?. if you think that speaks negatively to a persons character than my lord I pray you are not on a jury in your lifetime because your judgement of character is severly twisted, Tell me, if tweeting roll tide speaks to his character, then you must think he is on the same level of the MSU players who were tweeting during that game no? But I'm sure you'll see those as different and agree to disagree.

  • How many hours do you think Hoke & Co. have put in toward building a relationship w/ Treadwell? When they're having their worst possible scenario in a game, and this kid you've put all this time in throws salt on the wound... i'd imagine that stung. Hoke preaches family, and tradition & unity to his recruits and then he makes tweets while you're being humiliated?

    We will agree to disagree Willy.

    Luger, if Peppers is tweeting about ohio while they are playing Michigan then that would look bad. Much like Billy Price, no? Opposing players tweeting, and a current recruit tweeting couldn't be more different. If you want to consider it the same, then you're entitled to do that.

    LOL, you've got to be kidding me. I think the coaches are all man enough to not get they're feelings hurt. If they want a kid they're not going to give a rats ass about him tweeting this or that. Recruiting is a tough business, not for the faint of heart or for those who get offended easily. This thread is getting increasingly annoying with people getting their panties in a bunch over a kids recruitment.
