I remember several kids doing what you say, I am not saying Threadwell wasn't one of them, I just don't remember the names of any of them so if you say he is I will go with it too. But they signed his best friend the year before so I think they were on him early too. They signed the kid from Georgia and I am not going to start trying to spell his name, but they also signed his brother the year before and his dad who was a PHD, maybe in medicine was also offered a job at OM. But a coach who has done nothing in college going to a school who had done anything in 50+ years signing the class they did raised a few eyebrows. But OM will accept almost anyone, ignore almost any indescretions they do while there, safe place to attend if you have question marks in your character.
Go ahead and say it, sounds like you are saying they are the UL of the deep south.
