Treadwell tweet re commitment timeline
Take this for what it's worth:
@SuccessfulQuon: So much going on my decision coming soon.
and yes it does.
This could be good. If I am not mistaken he is most likely with a bunch of our guys at the Opening. After the week with the Wing's so far this would be a great way to turn my spirits around. I just hope that if he does commit to us that he is 100% ready and not just trying to rush into a decision.
he's rooming with a ND commit.
My speculations have been off all week dammit. I guess it is probably a good thing despite rooming with a ND commit at least we have 7 or 8 different guys most likely in his ear as much as possible during the whole event.
got the numbers there. Most importantly Shane is going to be there. I guarantee Quon is going to be feeling the love from the Team 134 members in attendance!
Maybe the ND commit he's rooming with is stinky.
tehh shlamploo goesh underr shere
You don't have to worry about ND. Grades are an issue here.
From what we know about his recruitment, it doesn't seem like there's another strong contender here. Of course, we've all been mistaken before but I'm just not seeing it.
I think he's probably tired of the entire process by now and just wants to get it over with. I think he's been holding out for holding out's sake to this point. I think he gets further indoctrination from the other members of T-134 and the commitment comes soon thereafter.
I agree. And I don't think the coaches would accept a commitment unless he's 100%. The things that bother me about this is that just a week ago he planned on visiting Oklahoma and Ok. St. as well as possibly visiting USC. Thats a huge change in such a short time. Guess we will find out "soon" according to the young man himself.
It seems like he's been wanting to visit the Oklahoma schools for a long time. If they were so important to him, you would think he would have made the trip by now.
He had a scheduled trip to Oklahoma canceled a couple of months ago because of severe weather. But you're right, that was a couple of months ago... seems that he's had plenty of opportunities to try to go again.
Plus, he wouldn't be the first commit to say that he's planning on taking several officials, and then go ahead and commit before official visit season even starts (see Cravens, among at least half a dozen others I can think of).
wounder if its crunch time. Hoke, or whoever he is being recruited by is telling him that he is still plan a but they aren't holding a spot for him, and if plan b wants to commit they will give the slot to him.
Being an optimist, I think it's a good sign that his Twitter background image shows him wearing a Michigan Wolverines lanyard. One can look too much into an image, right?
Would really love to see him come through. Fingers crossed!

but has the ship completely sailed on Ty Isaac?? Say we land Treadwell, we have LTT & Boesch. Can't we get the Core 6 IL group to flip Isaac? Probably not a chance, but our offense is going to be unreal with our OL recruits and Shane. I'm picturing the next Anthony Thomas/Tyrone W clone...........
Isaac sounds pretty set on USC.
I think our best shot would be Kiffen commiting another NCAA violation. Having the entire cast of Oceans 11 show up at a recruit's hotel room must be some kind of violation.
That's would be quite the trick by Kiffin since Bernie Mac has unfortunately passed on from us.
I think you're underestimating just how crafty Kiffin is. He didn't say that all 11 showed up alive.
I'm sorry to have to be the pessimist here, but this kid is not coming to Michigan guys. I've seen this movie before, and I know how it ends. Whatever is making him reluctant to commit is not likely to change all of the sudden. I have no hard fellings if the kid goes elsewhere. It's an important decision and both sides have to be comfortable. For whatever reason, it just isn't a good fit.
You're not a good fit.
He's Mike Martin!
Couldn't resist.
...what's making him reluctant to commit is that it's a huge decision and it's still the middle of the summer, he still has some schools he wants to see. I understand wanting to protect yourself from disappointment by using pessimism, but I don't think logic really supports it in this case. However, we are talking about a teenager...
I guess we'll see
There's no "I guess," we'll definitely see. It's one thing for you to say "I'm pessimistic about this one guys" and another to say that's he's not a good fit. Because, like you know.
I was just making an observation. Are we not free to do that anymore? I mean, isn't that what 100% of recruiting discussion on this forum consists of?
He detailed it in his first post, speculating that other commits that have seemed to be in the bag but have dragged out their recruiting have had a high probability of going elsewhere.
I, for one, don't get that feeling with LaQuon. I do think you guys need to stop negging this guy for having a dissenting opinion. He's engaging in a conversation. We are not the opinion police, well maybe we are, but we shouldn't be...
It's not a good fit because the kid didn't commit immediately? I'm not really sure why you're so convinced this isn't going Michigan's way. Have we been so spoiled with this class that kids we're recruiting aren't allowed to go through the recruiting process now?
He was offered back in Oct of 2011. So no, the fact that he didn't commit immediately after his offer is not what's leading me to believe that he isn't coming to Michigan. We're way past the "immediate" period. It's more the fact that Michigan has been recruiting him very hard, that we can offer immediate playing time and the chance to be the go-to receiver in the class, that we're bringing in a stud QB, that we're close to his home, that we're starting to invite other WRs to visit, that recruiting trends are indeed changing and kids tend to pull the trigger early when they find the right fit these days, and yet he remains uncommitted despite all that. It just seems like he might not feel Michigan is the right place for him, and that's completely fine. I'm just making a prediction based on what been reported. Maybe I'll turn out to be wrong. I guess we'll see.
It's 100 times better than your first comment. Had his tweet affirmed his desire to take his official visits or wait until NSD I would be inclined to agree with you. However, you've just described all the reasons he would change his plans and commit sooner than he would ideally prefer. So, if his tweet means what it seems to, you're making a good argument that he's coming here.
Kids "dragging out" the recruiting process, not naming leaders, and being deliberately cryptic about their intentions isnt always a selfish thing. Henri Poggi (and many others) did it to keep big programs visiting his school to get exposure for his teammates.
Yes, except the school visiting evaluation period is over.
Maybe he heard Shane is into the announcing business. Probably wants to commit at the opening with Shane announcing the whole thing.
/ s
/ sorta
What do believe he meant by that, and how do you see it tying in with him later saying commit coming soon?
That would be a telling tell-tale sign.
Laquon Treadwell @SuccessfulQuon
Wonder who's going to be the quarterback of them team im on? Shane !
Or it might not
I give up
Either way...has to be good news
