1. Shane Morris, Warren (Mich.) De La Salle – Good luck trying to pin a fear of competing on Shane Morris. Despite his lofty ranking and his early commitment to Michigan, Morris is at seemingly every event he can get to, eager to prove himself. On Friday he did just. He can put loads of velocity on the ball without digging deep, he showed great accuracy throughout the day and he has a smooth and natural composure in the pocket. Morris’ performance earned him an invite to the Elite 11 finals this summer.

Oh that's rich. The same kid who threatened to back of his Michigan pledge if they went after Gunner Kiel...

That is completely false first of all. Secondly, the Michigan coaches aren't going to let Shane Morris dictate to them who they recruit and how they recruit. That isn't how Brady Hoke rolls in recruiting, in case you haven't noticed.

... welcome, and we appreciate your opinion here. But Shane Morris absolutely dictated the recruitment of Gunner Kiel by Michigan. He made it clear he wanted to be "the guy". Not necessarily a bad thing, but that clear when he committed to UM

I'm sorry man, that isn't my opinion. The mods at every Michigan site I can think of debunked this rumor, and Shane debunked this rumor himself.

I don't want to be hijacking this thread, so I guess I will just say that and leave it at that.

Maybe I am misinformed.

Morris was in Dallas as well. You can go to as many of these as you want?

From Inside the Irish
Back to the football field, Irish commitment Malik Zaire competed for a spot in the Elite 11, held this year just a few miles from the Inside the Irish HQ in Redondo Beach, California. Zaire was working out in Columbus, where a collection of the Midwest’s best quarterbacks competed for a coveted invite to the finals in California.

Multiple reports have Zaire holding his own, among the three most talented players at the camp along with Ohio State commit Jalin Marshall and Michigan commitment Shane Morris. It was Morris that locked down an invitation to the South Bay yesterday, with Zaire among the final choices. He’ll compete again today.  (Don’t feel bad Irish fans, Morris is at his second camp location, after failing to get an invite earlier in the offseason.)

“I think I came out and I did a pretty good job,” Zaire told Irish Illustrated. “I saw a lot of things I need to work on but at the same time I competed well with Shane and the other guys. I have a little bitter taste in my mouth, but I’ll definitely be back out tomorrow and try to win that spot.”

Without the ability to show-off the running skills that made him one of the best dual-threat prospects in the 2013 recruiting class, Zaire had to earn his keep with his throwing arm and fundamentals, things that he seemed to do just fine.

“I’ve never met him, didn’t even know who he was until today,” wide receiver prospect Jack Wangler told ESPN.com about Zaire. “But I liked the way he threw the ball. I didn’t even know him and I felt like I could’ve played with him all day. I think every receiver felt that way.”

Weekend notes: Rees, Anzalone, Zaire, and more | Inside the Irish

In case you're curious, Wangler plays at Warren De La Salle with Morris...I thought that was interesting.

I don't know how some other guy gets time in this thread but we have our elite QB from this class and he is Malik Zaire. If some other guy fits Hoke's system, good on him. If Malik fits Kelly's, we will win that match-up because Kelly's offensive system is better than Hoke's. Anyone, out of loyalty to some lesser offensive system, will of course want to dispute that, but they are delusional. Kelly is an offensive superstar, and there are few others out there. If Malik can fit our system, Malik will also become an offensive superstar --- just as any of our current QBs would be if THEY could fit this system. Malik has a fantastic opportunity here with this system and the weapons accumulating in it --- clearly higher in potential than what that other guy has to work with systematically. Go for it, Malik! This machine can really roll with the right QB.

Notre Dame football: Analysts weigh in on Irish commits - southbendtribune.com

By BOB WIENEKE South Bend Tribune
5/6/12



Per Mike Farrell, Rivals:

“The first thing that stands out is his character. He’s a really great kid. He’s never going to get in trouble. You can’t predict that 100 percent, but he’s a model, perfect Notre Dame leader.
“He’s a lefty, so there’s a little bit of an adjustment there because when you have a right and a lefty, you have to adjust your line a bit, so that’s a little confusing.
“But he’s got a strong arm. On film he stands out very well athletically. He can do a lot of things in space and he can do a lot of things when the play breaks down. And he can make any throw. He’s just not big (6-foot-1, 190 pounds). He’s physically filled out, he’s just not tall.
“I think for the spread he’s a really good fit for what they want to do there.”

looks a little raw, but I thought he looked very impressive. Perfect qb for our system IMO, should be interesting to see how he is used if Gunner holds down the starting spot eventually
