Hey, careful now. All I did was relay his pro-um tweets and I got neg voted.

Oh I don't doubt you there. I have also heard the same. We'll have taken our 1 WR for this class long before this kid makes a decision.

shows that scum is willing to settle and we don't have to

Of course they are. Hoke and Borges are probably "holding a spot" for him while they explained to York that he could have the final WR spot if he committed soon. Levenberry 2.0.

They are wanting to get to 25 before the season opener and if they need to reach for a kid or two - so be it. This would be an example. I can't wait to see how high the fanboys like Helmholdt and Trieu move this kid up their "rankings" now that he's committed to Michigan, when he wasn't even rated playing in basically their own backyards. Probably will check in at a very high three next update when he would have been Kieler-level with an MSU commitment. Joke.

Didnt we take 5 WRs in our class last year? I think its well known for those who follow recruiting closely that UM was looking for 3 WRs in this class. I believe 247 had York listed as the #9 player in the state of Michigan for the last month. It does look like a reach for UM but at a position of extreme need for them. Lets not get too carried away with these conspiracy theories.

Interview W/Treadwell out today says there is 0% chance he commits to UM on his next visit. Wants to visit some other schools this summer (names 3, one of which is MSU).

Also says that UM has told him they will hold a spot for him.

The guy seems to be blowing up. I don't think he is under the radar anymore.

reading comprehension fail

they are settling because they are taking an in-state kid that we didn't offer

By this logic did we settle for Gerald Holmes?

If we had a legitimate chance at other highly recruited RB prospects, then I would say yes. In this situation it seems like the staff narrowed it down to who they wanted most and Holmes was there to commit.

Now about Treadwell:

It is great news that he is not going to decide anytime soon and ever better that he is no longer visiting UM this week. It will be interesting to see how he plans his visits and how long he goes without making a commitment. I'm just really glad we are still in contention and in his plans for a visit.

anyone that is offered months before the summer before there senior year is a major plan A recruit - so Holmes isn't a relevant comparison. That said, I don't believe that UM is settling. I think UM is desperate for receivers and are happy to take solid but unspectacular prospects (as they have more spots for receivers). I think MSU wants to take only game breakers at WR, in this class.

Right I think there is this really warped sense of things from all fanbases because everything is so sped up this year (and will only get worse next year IMO).

It is the beginning of May- 2 years ago this month was the first point in which offers and commitments really started coming.

Sorry but you are wrong. Following the Columbus NFTC, York was rated for the first time this week as an 85. After the Michigan offer he jumps to an 89, then down to an 88 where he is currently placed. It's pretty obvious why. It's the same scenario as earlier in the year when Michigan had four 3 stars, then after the commitments two of them are bumped to four stars. Just stating the facts and calling out the patterns. Unfortunately this is off topic to Treadwell, but needs to be said.

Treadwell will not commit to any program until after his senior season & official visits. He has stated that himself numerous times throughout the process.
