Just let the thought of a QB in command of his offense wash over you, and forget your pain, if only for a moment.

What is the hold up offering Perry? He REALLY want to come to Michigan; not like the guys who are looking around and dragging their feet... and the kid can Play!

I sure hope so (Brees II, that is). I'll wait to see if he can work his magic when everyone is bigger 'n stronger 'n faster. Same with Perry ...

He is a proven leader. Three straight state titles.
He always seems to know where to go with the ball. Clearly studies his playbook and watches film.
He is accurate. Puts balls into zone windows and throws a beautiful fade.
He's not running for 75 yard touchdowns or heaving bombs as far as he can.
I think these skills translate well.

I could go for some of that.

I am not saying that any of those things are necessarily wrong, but I think how you got to those conclusions is not necessarily right and you might end up being disappointed because of that.
I went to see him play a couple weeks ago when they played Groves and it was brutal. It was like watching Alabama play Alabama St. Everyone on Brother Rice is just bigger than Groves. The first play on offense for Brother Rice was a slant (or some other short-to-mid-range route across the middle of the field) and the receiver just weaved in and out of the defense for 70 yards. Runs were often 10 yards before the RB got touched. It was just a complete domination due to physically-gifted players at every position.
Brother Rice is like that in pretty much every sport. They have feeder programs at the lower levels and they recruit players to their schools. Obviously, there has to be some skill on Malzone's part, but he is surrounded by great players and has been since he first started. Three straight titles to me is a reflection of the skill across the team, not necessarily his leadership skills. A lot of the yards (from what I saw) are YAC and that is a reflection of the skill on his team. It's also a reason that they can keep the playbook simple with short, quick throws, which increases his completion percentage.
Long story short, I think he'll be great for us, especially if we end up with some sort of passing spread. I just wouldn't read too much into those numbers as there is just too much of a disparity of talent in high school sports for them to mean much.

My post to which you responded had nothing to do with numbers. I'm very familiar with Brother Rice and have watched them play on more than one occasion. They are a machine, no doubt, but they weren't a state championship machine until Malzone came along. Also, while they have good players, they are not exactly pumping studs into Power 5 conference teams. You are way overplaying that angle.
I guess, to put it succinctly, I disagree with almost everything you said, except for "I think he'll be great for us."

Should be Alex Malzone/Grant Perry Highlights. Nearly every highlight seemed to be going to #1.

they couldn't have left a better present for the new coach than Malzone.

was the savior? Now, it is apparent that he may take more time to reach his percieved potential, if ever living up to his 5 start status. Yet we are so excited (I really am) about Malzone, a kid who our staff seemed to not want to offer.
I'm going to apply the Beilein theory here, which is not recruiting kids that have peaked physically their So. or Jr. years of HS (a lot of time 5 star kids), and focus more on kids who are on the rise and have yet to have peaked( most of the time 3 or 4 star kids).
The fact that this kid had to beg for an offer and he was the staff's 5th option, if not lower, reinforces the idea that our staff CANNOT identify and evaluate talent, yet alone maximize skill sets, but thats for a whole other thread.
I still think Malzon will win us a B1G Championship, looks like he has the "it" factor. Now offer that reciever on his team already!

Ive said something similar on here as well. As much as he's bashed for his bad play when subbing for DG, Shane is as responsible as anybody for helping to bring in that highly rated class he in came in with. Its unfortunate those classes didnt translate on the field, but I still appreciate the effort he put in. The trend of those classes having a "leader recruit" to put a strong class together started with him.
I'll disagree with the "our staff can't evalute talent" theory, though. Its not like Malzone had offers from everywhere else, and we were slacking. With the QB position, its an absolute crapshoot...We've tried to land plenty of players (Treadwell, etc) who became great players, they just chose to go elsewhere.
The staff's ability to "developing talent" is a much easier critique to make.

Hopefully his accomplishments in HS will transfer to college because God knows the team needs someone to step up at the QB position to lead the offense.
November 20th, 2014 at 1:10 PM ^
Does anyone have a complete game of him in the playoffs, highlights can be misleading, one of the main indicators of evaluating a player is watching game film and not just one game but 3 or 4 games.

But I loved parts of Morris' senior highlight film too
