I have been scrambling all day to uncover whether this overwhelming buzz about potential 5-star WR Laquon Treadwell ending his recruitment process in the coming days is true, or more of the recruit "messing" with people, as he has humorously done in the past.
****************************************************************************
**UPDATE 7/6/12 2:15pm ET**
Treadwell has let at least 5 Michigan recruits at The Opening know that he intends to join them as a member of the 2013 recruiting class
*****************************************************************************
Here is the latest:
Treadwell has been sending some VERY pro-Michigan tweets and retweets today regarding the potential of him committing to the Wolverines:
After consuming all this info from Laquon's Twitter, I reached out to a source in Ann Arbor. The answer, mum is the word.
Then, I reached out to 2 commitments from the 2013 Michigan class that I have used for info on the down-low in the past . . . (although one isn't especially reliable). Here is what I was told by them both:
"We are all (Michigan commitments) on the same text and Facebook message chats and stuff and thats how we communicate. Someone added Treadwell last night to them. That's pretty crazy. Someone must know he is about to commit. A lot of other commits are saying what up to him and welcoming him to the team."
And the other recruit . . .
"Yeah, man. Unless he is messing with everyone, he is going to announce live on ESPNU this weekend with all the other guys there with him. That's what he is telling Shane and some other people. This is gonna be crazy! Can't wait to finally have the class done and get back on the field this fall."
Treadwell is flying to Portland tonight to take part in The Opening, a Nike/ESPNU event showcasing the best 2013 high school stars under one roof. The event begins tonight and runs through Sunday. He is set to take off at 735pm tonight to Portland to participate in the event, and almost certainly commit to Michigan.
Go Blue. Best recruiting class ever.
