I'm saying he could have had an even better season had he done more than catch bubble screens all game. You could pull the fat girl playing clarinet out of the band and put her on the field and she could catch that many passes in a season if that was all that was thrown to her and with people blocking down field she could probalby rack up some decent receiving yards. I am not attacking Treadwell at all. He did what was asked of him and had a successful season doing so. Good enough to get all freshman honors. I'm just saying that if Freeze had used him differently he made have had 1,000 yards receiving as a freshman.
I get the point you are making, and some of it is valid. For whatever reason, we struggled throwing the ball vertically this year. But, I really doubt that Malachi Dupre is sitting around comparing YPC averages amongst SEC schools. What he sees is a fun offense to play in that throws it a lot, a coaching staff that has recruited him relentlessly, and last years #1 WR hosting him on a visit.
Guaranteed, Treadwell is in his ear about the awards he got, records broken, etc. And it intrigues him, as it would most 18 year olds. And I'm sure our staff is putting a full court press on him since he is the only recruit in town right now. They are telling him how he and Treadwell can catch a million plus balls together. That's how recruiting works.
Now, with all that said, the one thing we can all agree on is that it is a long shot at best. He will more than likely wind up at FSU or LSU. But, getting him on campus gives Ole Miss a chance, however slim that may be.
