An Interview with Shane Morris

  • View
  • Revisions

  • 2013 recruiting

  • shane morris

Shane [in video above]: I'm Shane Morris, class of 2013. I committed to the University of Michigan. I committed to there because I felt it was just somewhere I grew up as a fan. When I was younger, it was always a dream for me to go to the University of Michigan, but I never thought I would get the honor to have the chance. So, right when I got the offer I was just ecstatic, and that's the place where I knew I wanted to go. The new coaches there are just great people. So uh, thank you.

Tim: You were at the Barbecue at the Big House about a week and a half ago. How did that go for you?

Shane: It was awesome. I mean, I got a chance to meet a lot of the players who are committed for 2012. They're great people, you know, we're going to have a great group of people there throughout Michigan. So that was really fun.

IMG_3571.JPG

Tim: Have you been doing a little recruiting of your own?

Shane [at right, between future teammates Terry Richardson and James Ross]: Oh yeah. Definitely, I'm just trying to get the best players out of the country to come to Michigan. On Facebook or whatever I have to do to get ahold of them.

Tim: A lot of times when guys make an early commitment, they stop going to the camps and stuff, and seem satisfied. You seem like you've been doing a lot of that sort of stuff still to prove yourself, what are your goals there?

Shane: I'm definitely going to do all I can, because I mean, I want to be the best player that I can possibly be. I'm not going to relax or take a day off just because I'm already committed. I mean, I'm not going to go to other college camps, I'm going to Michigan. I'm 100% committed there, I'm not going to check out any other schools or anything. But I'm going to keep doing all I can all during the winter and offseason to be the best I can.

Tim: Is any part of you gunning for that five-star status?

Shane: I mean, it'd be something cool to have. You know, just to know that you were a 5-star when you're in high school. But I mean really, I don't really care about that, I don't care about all of that. I've already decided where I'm going to go, and when people think of me [how good I am], they can just think about that. [SWAG]

Tim: Your De La Salle team made it to the regional finals [in the MHSAA Playoffs] last year, so what are your goals for this year, and what are you planning to do to achieve them?

Shane: Our goals are obviously to win a state championship and I feel like we did enough work in the offseason, and we've got some kids who can play for us at our school that we can do that. You know, we're just going to keep working hard every day at practice and our coaches are gonna do the best they can to get us prepared.

Hope to see Shane and his

Hope to see Shane and his [SWAG] carving up some B1G defenses in a couple years! This guy is going all out for the Maize and Blue already, gotta love the enthusiasm. Great interview Tim!

Shane

I'm with you on that. I'm no psycholinguist, but as much as he tries to downplay it, he probably wants it pretty bad. I know I would!

Recruiting

He probably sees the five star status as a benefit to have when he is out trying to recruit players. I think he wants it more for Michigan than for himself.

This should remind you to

This should remind you to keep your clothes from the '97 Championship. Right now, it's just out-of-date and grungy looking, but in a few years, it will be 20 years old and totally retro cool just like Shane Morris' Fab Five era block M.

I am officially assigning

Shane Morris a five star. Young, very promising quarterback, loyal to Michigan, and recruiting with class. Hell yes.
