Regardless of what his grades may or may not be, Laquon was smart enough to know we stopped playing serious football here a few years back...............

How was it random? Do tell.

How about some perspective.


Illinois goes 2-10 in 2006. They land 5 stars Benn and Wilson following that.


Ole Miss goes 7-6 in 2012. They land 5 star Treadwell and possibly Nkemdiche following that.

And Treadwell has a buddy already there..................

Mississippi legislature is still actively investigating Ole' Miss recruiting class.  Lots of smoke.

But I would guess the Mississippi legislature is also probably made up of Ole' Miss grads and football boosters ... so ...

Bill Self and John Calipari have gone down there and cleared this up with the legislature.........

Kyle Prater #2 situation going on.  Good luck to him.  He's going to need it.

Mississippi Burning?

I know this: Treadwell absolutely is more intelligent than alot of the people who post on this board & many of those who have posted in this thread

Ole Miss?  This is analogous to choosing Purdue or some other also-ran.  (We don't qualify as an also-ran, we are the bottom of the barrel.)

Guess he didn't want to compete with the big boys.

Not really. Ole Miss doesn't have nearly as much WR talent as Southern Cal. I expect Treadwell to be a star, this guy can flat out play.

You may think that or suspect that, but you don't KNOW that.

That 83 doesn't "know absolutely" that this kid is more intelligent than the posters.

I often take issue when people say they "know" something when what they really have is an opinion.

when you read the idiotic & ridiculously stupid comments made by some people, it does not take much to figure out their intelligence.

I have never eaten a crap sandwich either, but I KNOW it doesnt taste good.

I dont know it all, but I know some things

no clue why anyone would want to go to Ole Miss, especially with Hugh Freeze who appears to be a very good coach.

Crete is my hometown and I moved back a few years ago.  I have met Laquon, and I have read a lot of posts here.  The only part to quibble over is the number of posters he is smarter than..................

BTW, four kids off the Crete team had ACT scores of 30 or higher.  I don't know about Laquon's score, but I know that Marcus Terrell is one of them.

It makes me smile to think I was getting more action in college than the runner-up for the Heisman.

Agree 100%.  I'm in Memphis now and my wife is from Oxford / Ole Miss.  We go to games all the time.  I honestly don't know why an undecided college football recruit wouldn't want to go to an SEC school.  Better football, better women, real girlfriends.
