Shane Morris, QB, Warren de LaSalle-2013 MICHIGAN VERBAL

What could possibly be the reason for that rule?

I think because your school gets paid.

What could possibly be the reason for that rule?

Because the MHSAA is an absolute Joke, period..Kids cannot perform in all star games either..If they do, they become ineligible for whatever other sport they play. Example, Norfleet was supposed to play in like an under armor or some type of game like that.But he declined because it would have made him ineligible for basketball season.They are now vying for a state championship..

Just don't like the trend line I've read about. Didn't have a great season, etc. I've never seen him play.

I've never gotten that vibe. I watched him play in that EA 7-7 tournaments last summer; and wow, does he have a cannon. He beat out nearly all the senior QBs last year at the Midwest Elite 11 camps. Plus, he nearly got DLS to the MHSAA Championship game, which would have been a huge surprise, considering the lack of talent on that team. Besides, DLS is an extremely run-first team, which is going to damper your stats.

He does look like he has some decent wheels. He even does a McGuffie.

Thats a heck of an offensive line on those run plays...jeesh

Yea thats some skills right there, pass at 3:40 was sick, 4:35 was not bad either

Things I noticed in order:

1) Kid can scramble, but he needs to learn how to slide. And goodness, stop hurdling defenders.
2) His O-line is awful. It was a wonder he made it through the year unhurt.
3) He's throwing into some awfully tight windows in some spots.

Oh yeah, and the kid is legit. That throw at 4:35 is NFL caliber.

I noticed he's a lefty.

I know Norfleet is supposed to be a little guy but I didn't realize Morris was that big. (TWSS)

The future quarterback of the Michigan football program took center stage Saturday at a prestigious Elite 11 regional camp in Dallas.

And, admittedly, he didn't have the best day.

2013 Michigan recruit Shane Morris told ESPN.com that he struggled with just about everything in a rather disappointing day.

“I could have done better at everything,” Morris said. “I didn’t do what I needed to do. I lacked in everything. I had a bad day.”

Morris, a five-star quarterback prospect from Warren De La Salle, is part of Michigan's 2013 commitment class.

He was in Dallas competing for an invite to the Elite 11 finals, which are held this July in Redundo Beach, Calif.

Morris did not receive an invite at the Dallas regional, but will have another chance in Columbus, Ohio on May 4.

In Dallas, though, Morris didn't quite seem like himself. "Morris simply wasn’t as smooth and efficient as he wanted to be through the array of drills placed in front of him and the competition," ESPN.com's William Wilkerson wrote. "In fact, six quarterbacks were chosen to compete in a two-minute drill at the end of the camp and he was left off the list."

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Michigan quarterback commitment Shane Morris fought back tears as he sat on the padded cushion just in front of the field-level suites at Cowboys Stadium on Saturday.

He didn’t have to be in Dallas for the Elite 11 Regional. He could have easily waited for the camp in Columbus, Ohio, on May 4 to try and get an invitation to the Elite 11 finals in Redundo Beach, Calif.

But, being the competitor that he is, Morris flew down to the first of the six regional camps to try and get the first.

When that invitation went to Dallas Skyline’s Devante Kincade, Morris couldn’t help but be disappointed in himself.

“I could have done better at everything,” Morris said. “I didn’t do what I needed to do. I lacked in everything. I had a bad day.”

If the invitation was given to the player with the most energy, Morris would have gotten it hands down. He fired through the warm-up drills like Brady Hoke was in the stands assessing his every move.

Former NFL quarterback Trent Dilfer, who coached the camp, even called Morris’ name to break the guys out of a huddle after a series of speeches, which included one from Tony Romo.

But Morris simply wasn’t as smooth and efficient as he wanted to be through the array of drills placed in front of him and the competition. In fact, six quarterbacks were chosen to compete in a two-minute drill at the end of the camp and he was left off the list.

He wasn’t left out because of a lack of arm strength, but perhaps because of too much power behind his spiral. Receivers were often unable to haul in his passes simply because of the velocity he threw behind them.

“The touch on my pass is definitely something I need to work on,” Morris said. “I rely on my arm strength a lot.”

Morris said he hasn’t played baseball in a while but imagines he could throw 90 miles per hour right now. Anyone who saw him throw Saturday wouldn’t doubt that. There are several major league bullpens that would love to have his left arm in late inning situations.

Anyone who saw him Saturday, or who has seen him play in general, also won’t doubt the likelihood that he’ll eventually end up with that coveted invitation. Twenty-four will be handed out before the field is eventually dwindled down to 11.

He’ll be in Columbus on May 4 to try and pick it up.
