Top of Michigan's board, after Issac. Looked promising early in the process, but he is completely wide open at this point.

Treadwell begins his recruiting odyssey
TAYLOR BELL

April 4, 2012

It's time for spring break at Crete-Monee and a young man's fancy turns to...well, if your name is LaQuon Treadwell and you are one of the most highly sought wide receivers in the country, you are making recruiting trips to Michigan, Oklahoma and Ohio State.

But this is only the beginning for Treadwell, who also has received scholarship offers from the likes of Alabama, Auburn, Arkansas, Notre Dame, Michigan State, Nebraska, Illinois, Oklahoma State and USC. He also has heard from Florida and hopes to hear from Texas.

"When I was growing up, I liked Texas and USC. They were my dream schools," he said. "All of their players were usually in the Heisman Trophy race and playing in the Rose Bowl, guys like Vince Young and Reggie Bush. I hope to visit USC. I hope Texas will call."

Treadwell admits the recruiting process "blew my mind" after he received scholarship offers from Michigan, then Notre Dame, then 16 other major Division I schools. "I didn't think I'd get an offer from Oklahoma or Alabama or Oklahoma State or USC," he said.

"It said to me: 'I must have something they want.' I know I can get better. My speed can increase. I can be more aggressive going for the ball. I don't want to be an average player. They are saying I must be one of the best players in the country. This is motivation to work harder."

In recent weeks, with the help of Crete-Monee coach Jerry Verde and offensive coordinator John Konecki, Treadwell and his mother have put together a game plan designed to be sure that he explores all of his options, asks the right questions, doesn't make any mistakes and doesn't have any regrets when he makes his final decision.

"My mom is the boss. Whatever she says goes," Treadwell said. "She wants to know about academics the most. That's the first thing she asks on our campus visits. She wants to see the academic center."

Him deciding late is probably a good thing. If he were to commit early it would likely be to Michigan. As Urban showed last year and at Florida time and again, he's not too bad at closing.

Wonder if we get Bob Foster and Gibson if we'd still chase this kid to the wire. Certainly would be a good problem to have.

Agreed. I don't expect to have that kind of problem.

However, Rivals shows Laquon as the #5 receiver. The the only time I would not take him would be if I already had the #1, #2, #3, and #4 receiver (Foster), and even then, the #2 receiver might have the sniffles and I would not want that all over the ball, so I would play #5.
