I don't get why people are so upset about the rankings put out by the coaches.  I watched the ESPN coverage of the Elite 11 last season and the whole time it was Dilfer trying to mess with the kids heads to see how they reacted.  I think this is what is going on here.  We will see who is selected into the Elite 11 but I will be very surprised if Shane is not one of them.

2. Shane Morris, Warren (Mich.) De La Salle: Morris has the strongest arm of the bunch by far and he's not afraid to use it. The ball comes out quickly and with a ton of zip, but he has also been showing more patience and touch and his long ball hasn't sailed on him as it has in the past. Morris still needs to see more of the field, but he is improving working across his body and he has been smart about checking down when needed. His physical upside is better than anyone else's at the event.

I think Shane's a great QB and fit for Michigan. I'll be happy for him if he wins some extra accolades for himself. I'll be even happier for him if he learns some useful skills from the competition. But I'm not going to really care that much if he doesn't win this or even if his high school team doesn't win every game next year.

For those hyperventilating about a Trent Dilfer/WWL conspiracy; take a deep breath and relax.

Shane has the talent; but obviously, being a QB is more about having a gun for an arm otherwise Todd Marinovich, Jeff George, and Ryan Leaf would have been All-Pros, and Tom Brady would have been a typical 6th round draft pick.

Having a little bit of reinforcement that QB also includes film/classwork/etc is NOT a bad lesson for a recruit of Shane's caliber (for all intents and purposes, the #1 or #2 pro-style QB in the country this year) to learn.

It may bruise the ego a little, but who really gives a rat's ass if Shane "win's" the Trent Dilfer Elite 11 Memorial trophy, but never beats Michigan State, the Domers, or Ohio?  Would we care if Shane doesn't win the Elite 11 but ends up going 4-0 v. the above three teams?

I know it's the slow season, but everyon stop getting their panties in a knot.

it'll look good on TV, but right now Elite 11 is like watching a sitcom being filmed over 8 hours for 22 minutes of content. TV Production

Every article that I read and video I have seen has given Shane Morris a ton of props. Everyone that has reported on the Elite 11 has considered Shane as one of the top 3 QB's at the camp. What are the coaches seeing at this camp that observers are not seeing?

Last year, consensus 5 star, top QB Gunner Kiel was the top or second performing QB to every service. If I remember correctly, he did not make the final 11. 247 suggested it had a lot to do with him not 'buying in' to Dilfer and what he was selling.

I've determined that since Morris doesn't seem to like to check down then he will continue to not be on the "top" 11....so it goes with a gunslinger mentality.

I had that thought earlier along with this one: most of the coaches are from the West Coast. 7 of the 11 QBs in the rankings today are from the West Coast with most committed to Pac-12 schools (all 4 QBs from CA are in the rankings). The only West Coast QB not in the rankings is Cooper Bateman from UT, and he is committed to Alabama.

There are 6 QBs from Texas, and none of them are in today's top 11 (out of 24).

Michigan commit Shane Morris 3/3 and a sack, 47 yd TD pass on the fly up the left hash, picture perfect pitch and catch

Pretty much most QBs have been able to complete their 2 min drill with a TD (except Tyrone Swoopes of course) but 3 for 3 is impressive with sack only blemish.

I see it as a win-win situation. He is obviously one of the most talented QB's in the country and works hard to improve himself every day. If he doesn't make the final, imagine how hard and determined he's gonna be to prove them wrong. Either way there's nobody else out there I'd rather have to lead touchdown drives in the near future, including kids from the 2012 and 2014 classes.

Someone posted this on 247, so I thought I might bring it up here for all the conspiracy theorists.

The #1 QB according to the coaches so far is Zach Greenlee, who only has one offer, from Fresno State. Where did Trent Dilfer play? Fresno State.

My personal Elite 11 after 5 days and 32 or so throws: 1. Morris 2. Olsen 3. Woulard 4. Browne 5. Goff 6. Ramsey 7. Bateman 8. Dobbs cont.

9. Hackenberg 10. Kincade 11. Zaire and no, don't expect big rankings changes coming off of a 30 throw shorts and Tshirt event
