Ok, I read through the whole thread again trying to figure out what happened, but it seems quite a bit was removed after things got off track. When exactly did OSU drop out of the race? Just seemed like we were in the thick of it, then some posts were removed, and after that OSU was never mentioned again. What did I miss?

Twitter and other social media websites continue to be a hurdle athletes stumble over, even those who are yet to play a single game outside of high school.
Lost Letterman reports on the latest athlete who needed to delete an ill-advised post to Twitter. It seems the new Ole Miss wide receiver, Laquon Treadwell, who committed on January 17, decided to post this picture to Twitter.
As the report states, the picture has since been deleted from his account.

Treadwell posted a since-deleted photo to his Twitter account of what we presume are his hands atop a stack of $100 bills. Naturally, it gave plenty of Ole Miss critics ammunition in their suspicion of how Hugh Freeze has been able to reel in such a great recruiting class.
​
Treadwell is a 5-star rated receiver considered to be the best in the nation and a top-5 overall by Yahoo! Sports' Rivals.
Now as far as the picture, it seems to be a hand grabbing at a stack of $100 bills. Now before you go blasting the school for something sinister, consider this is just what kids do when they come across money; they photograph it.
Instead of thinking about the repercussions or how it might look to those outside the school, they take a picture to flaunt any assumed status.
The report reminds us that Johnny Manziel, America's favorite quarterback, did the same thing when he recently won money at an Oklahoma casino.
In that case, there was nothing against the rules about the picture. It was just immature and needlessly provocative.

For the moment, we are careful to note that these are mere allegations that the picture even features Treadwell.
Even if the pictures are legitimate, it hardly implicates the young man or the school in any wrongdoing.
It just looks horrible.
So we stress this again, because the next athlete blunder is but one Twitter post away, please think before you hit the tweet button.

maybe I should rethink my "props to Freeze" statement.

You can follow the link to see the picture. I deleted it in the story because I didn't think it was allowed to be posted due to forum rules.

Recognize these names?
Kraig Drummond
Tig Barksdale
Pat Patterson
Tobias Singleton
Nick Brassell

5 prep all-americans who skated by in high school and couldn't hack it in Oxford, though Brassell worked his way back after JuCo.

The last three on this list are WR. Treadwell will join them in the next 24 months, if he even qualifies.

Ohio State seriously dodged a bullet with this kid going South instead of Ann Arbor. It would have cemented Michigan with the top offensive recruiting class in the country and given them the playmaker they desperately need at the wide receiver position.

Not sure what you're getting at here--that Ole Miss is some kind of elite academic institution? Because you seem to be suggesting there's no way Treadwell can make it academically there or get in.
