The Opening Day 3 Open Thread
The Opening Day 3 has just started with 7 on 7 play. There is already some Michigan news.
#AlphaTalon w/ a 12 yd TD strike from Tyrone Swoopes to Jake Butt. #Hookem #Michigan
And this from Allen Trieu
Big collision. Laquon Treadwell down.
Brice Ramsey hits Tramel Terry for a TD after a big play to Jeryl Brazil, Carbon up on Hackenberg's speed 7-0 #theopening
Cass Tech's Delano Hill with a game changing play returning INT for TD.
#Iowa commit Delano Hill flies in front of a Christian Hackenberg pass and takes it back for a score. Vapor Carbon up 14-0
Michigan QB commit Shane Morris to Alabama TE commit O.J. Howard for another TD.
Orlando Brown (Zeus) @ZEUS__78
Michigan Saturday #GoBlue
With Treadwell and RSJ as WR's....ole Hackenberg has not been good this weekend from the way it sounds.
Still seems like this weekend it was mainly Morris/Browne being the standout QB's
247 is enamored with Hackenberg. They were mentioning him possibly being the #1 QB in the nation. He apparently has a really smooth and natural release, and is pretty athletic. However, consistancy and decision making are not there yet, as evidenced by all the INTs.
Now down 24-0. If Shane and the Land Sharks can hold on for a win, they would face the winner of this game.
Some thought he was down, but Tramel Terry kept running and broke 2 sets of ankles enroute to a TD for Carbon, 24-0 #theopening
Not that it's Michigan related, but OJ Howard is going to be a monster TE at bama. Wolverineinabag would be proud
On our side of the fence, I'm glad to see Jake Butt is performing well in the 7 on 7's. TE's are going to be an integral component to our O going forward. Things are looking up with Butt, Funchess and Hill
Tyler Foreman picked off a tipped Hackenberg pass, Alpha Speed is getting blown out and will be out of tourney
Surprising considering the weapons he has on offense: Treadwell, Seals-Jones, Ty Isaac, Marcus Baugh.
Yeah and looking at some of his highlights, he'd have a few more if it wasn't for his WRs making some great ctaches. Treadwell has made some outstanding ones, and Isaac has the best hands there, regardless of position, according to some.
Brice Ramsey hits Dontre Wilson over the middle for another TD Vapor Carbon up 30-0 on Alpha Speed #theopening
Shane Morris' biggest asset right now is ATH Taquan Mizzell. they are hot right now. Morris showing nice patience and ball speed changes.
David Dawson @D3_MrUnderated_
Let someone get me off my square and didn't perform to the best of my ability ..
Seeing he couldn't pad up, I wouldn't read too much into it.
He has been a beast at almost every camp by most accounts as well. And he's probably been a little distracted with the whole Florida thing. I'm not worried about him.
Tied for the most after two days! #TheOpening http://instagr.am/p/M1N8-LKb9f/
David Dawson @D3_MrUnderated_
After today focus is all in my team, had a good camp season, #GoBlue
he is going to shoot up the rankings.
Nope. Ohio no want. He sux.
Brice Ramsey is struggling a lot early today as is Swoopes, Hackenberg throwing a lot of picks as well. Browne, Morris Bateman best early
Wow, when Hackenberg is hot he is good but when he is cold, he is ice cold. So many picks the last two days. Tries to force it way too much
he's either 1 or 2 with Browne @jtravisskelton: @rivalsmike how has Shane Morris looked? Where would you rate him in the QBs there?
From 247Sports Board: Land Sharks lead 18-6 over Alpha Talon.

I kinda feel bad for Swoopes in that this setting just kills him. Cant take off and use his legs and for a guy like that those legs can create passing windows as well.
Be like Denard in one of these 7 on 7's.....
Brice Ramsey's Carbon squad eliminates Christian Hackenberg's Speed squad 30-8 at #theopening
Shane Morris' Land Sharks are going to knock out Tyrone Swoopes Alpha Something squad 18-13
Hackenberg's Alpha Speed also had Laquan Treadwell, Ty Isaac, and Cameron Burrows on the team.
Swoopes' Alpha Talon had Jake Butt, Mike McCray, and Leon McQuay on the roster.
Shane Morris' Land Sharks are going to knock out Tyrone Swoopes Alpha Something squad 18-13
Elimination game. Winner advances to semis. And right to play on ESPNU hopefully.
1:50 pm games - #FieldGenerals v #SuperBad for a spot in the finals and #VaporTalon v #LandSharks in an elimination game
raising stock w me, but still a bit small @um971: Is jordan lewis raising his stock or is he what you thought he was.@rivalsmike
he's either 1 or 2 with Browne @jtravisskelton: @rivalsmike how has Shane Morris looked? Where would you rate him in the QBs there?
and close to committing. We need to close on Laquon Treadwell.
Wide out Paul Harris left #USC last week with a new favorite college and a time frame for a commitment. $
CBS EyeonRecruiting @EyeOnRecruiting
Wide receiver Paul Harris down to USC and Tennessee: http://cbsprt.co/PrQ7st
This may be good news for us... USC is still in Treadwell's final group... they already have 3 WRs commited and limited scholarships, so if Harris commits to USC, I have to think they are done at WR even if Treadwell shows interest. One less school for him to visit before he makes a decision... one less option for him to choose over Michigan. Plus, Harris has always seemed a longshot for Michigan despite his stated interest.
Both Oklahoma and Oklahoma State have 3 WRs each for 2013... have to think they're getting close to filling as well, although without limited scholarships, they may be willing to take Treadwell as "best available" even if they have 4 WRs....
I will be watching the elimination game between Shane Morris' Land Sharks and Brice Ramsey's Vapor Carbon. Game in 3 min
Brice Ramsey hits Dontre Wilson on an 80-yd TD pass. Up 8-0
From 247Sports Board:
Today, Browne has been the best followed by Morris. Bateman has improved. Hackenberg struggled. My personal opinion is that he's just a split second slow with his decision-making. Keep in mind, he hasn't had a full-time quarterback coach like some of these guys, is a three-sport athlete and still has a high ceiling, so just because he was a turnover machine in 7-on-7 and threw a lot of interceptions last season doesn't mean he's doomed as a prospect.
There is no doubt that he has all of the tools if he can fix those issues.

Larenz Bryant just took a Shane Morris pass about 100 yards the other way for an INT. Pass bounced off a RB, shoulda been caught
Next attempt by Morris picked by Sojourn Shelton.
Next play, Shane Morris is picked off by sojourn shelton, this one was on Shane 14-0, Carbon driving again
Jourdan Lewis' squad is rolling in the other game and looks like headed for the finals:
Noel Ellis just picked off a deep Cooper Bateman pass and nearly took it back for six for some SEC-on-SEC crime.
Halftime scores:
Halftime scores - #FieldGenerals 20, #SuperBad 6; #VaporTalon 14, #LandSharks 6.
Huge finish to the half. Land Sharks still breathing.
Shane Morris engineers a pretty 2 min drill, finishes with leaping TD by OJ Howard on 4th down 14-6/ half #goblue #rolltide
Pic of the TD catch from 247sports:
Vapor Talon scores to put Shane in a 2 TD deficit in 2nd half. Doesn't look like we are going to get to see Shane on ESPNU tonight.
Quick 3 and out by Shane Morris' Sharks, Brice Ramsey throws Tramel Terry for a TD, PAT to Travis Johnson good 22-6 Carbon
Shane strikes back to close the gap:
Shane Morris lofts one in the corner and Ahmad Fullwood goes high to get it for a TD, PAT fails, 22-12 Carbon still leads
DB Jourdan Lewis struggled a bit Saturday but has been one of the betters corners today
Shane has done a decent job considering is only real weapon is Howard. Seems like his WR's haven't done squat today.
Have barely heard his WRs mentioned over the weekend.
Shane with Troy Smith. This must be why he is struggling today as the Buckeye QB bust hex has rubbed off on him.
But not in the way that you might think.

Clearly....there are dollar bills in that plastic bag smith is holding. I have no question about it.
