What I'm trying to tell you is no one gives a shite if treadwell had a former teammate at ole miss. Is 2013 the only year ole miss had a player with an elite recruit as a former hs teammate?
Pretty sure that applies to every school every year.
And tunsil "thought it was cool" y'all were putting together a top class (8th)? Lol
He "fell in love" the moment he stepped on campus...
Come on man, you don't have to care how you get players but don't eat up everything your mods type for you.

I can understand the family angle with Robert however.

Btw the more you do something (sign out of state 5 stars) the less people question it. Bama signing 3 OOS five stars is the norm. The difference is saban has always had these classes, and has hardware. Freeze has neither.
In that 5 year stretch I just gave you you had 4 years of 0, with one year of 3 in the middle. Raises eyebrows, especially since it wasn't following sudden on field success. And I know, on field success has followed since however.

Treadwell gave a shite. He came to visit his friend the year before, on his own dime, and really liked the atmosphere. Not saying we didn't do what it took to close the deals in 2013, but with the exception of Tunsil we happened to have a very good "in" with the other 5-stars that year.

Ignorance breathes conspiracy. You didnt follow their recruitment, thus you do not know details that could possibly change your perspective.

Treadwell was a 4* the majority of his recruitiment. He wasnt even a top 100 player until November. He was recruited but not extremely hard by the big boys. Bama and Ohio State flirted, but the three schools that went after him the hard were Michigan, Okie lite, and OM.

Michigan was his favorite. He went on his OV there before the other two and the other two learned from their mistake. Momma Treadwell was making this decision and Michigan didnt even talk to her on the visit. When reports got out that the visit went poor because of that, both Okie lite and OM made sure to make her a pivotal part of the process. On his OV to Okie state, they took him to fricking panda express. He ultimately chose OM over Okie state, and Michigan because we were on him from the start didnt frick up his recruitment, and had his best friend on the team.

We obviously had RN's brother, Tony Connor lived 20 minutes away at the biggest pipeline to OM, and we placed our juco 5* at the juco he attended after he had committed to us out of HS two years prior. That explains four of the five 5*'s we got.

Until last recruiting class, I wasnt sure about Tunsil's recruitment. Yes we got the benefit of learning from UGA's recruiting mistake of making his visit all about a party when that isnt his MO. Yes we had the #1 player playing the opposite position and he said over and over he wanted to play with him so they could make one another better. Yes were in his top 5 the entire recruiting year of 2012. But until I saw we gave his step brother who did not have another D1 offer, a free ride, it was still hard to put together how we won him over.

Everyone cheats, and because of that, money rarely dictates where the kid goes. If you actually follow the recruiting you can figure out how the decisions were made, but I know conspiracy is more fun.
