Countdown to Laquon

by Jake Adams

It's five hours until Laquon Treadwell announces his decision, and if you're like me you may feel less convinced of Treadwell's decision than you did just a few days ago. It hasn't been two weeks since the nation's top wide receiver prospect stopped by the BBVA Compass Bowl on his way home from the Under Armour All-American Game just to watch the Rebels play and mingle with Ole Miss fans in the stands. Most Ole Miss fans and media took that as a very good sign for the Rebels, but since then Treadwell took his official visit to Oklahoma State that he said went well and he's also hosted Cowboy coaches in his home. Oklahoma State closed hard. Did they do enough to overcome all the "love" Treadwell has received from Ole Miss since last November when his name was chanted at an Ole Miss basketball game? Kailo Moore said he had a good conversation with Treadwell the morning of his announcement last week. Is that a good sign? This one is going to come down to the wire and should have you on the edge of your seats. I'm on the edge of mine.

The Clarion Ledger's John Talty has a Laquon primer to get you ready for the big announcement.
