Shane Morris Selected to 2013 Under Armour Game

Submitted by Wolverine15 on

Per his twitter, 2013 5* QB commit Shane Morris has been invited to the 2013 Under Armour All American Game. This shouldn't come as a big suprise considering his performance in ESPN's Gridiron Kings last year, but still good to hear.

I would bet he knows this.  MHSAA prohibits any high school player in the state from participating in all star games.  total b.s. but they would nail him  if he did.  Any senior from MI that does is ok as long as they are willing to not play a spring sport.  Good for Shane though !

He didn't get selcted for this years game, smart guy. He is selected for the game next year, as it is a SENIOR only game. So yes, if he decides to not do spring sports next year, then I would expect to see him play in one of the two All-American games.

Clowney? And yes, I would say he is better than just pretty good. He was the consensus number one player in the country last year, something that never happens that all of the major sites agree on the number one guy. Rivals named him the best prospect over the last ten years. At this point with UA having now been around for a few years, the talent level of the two games are pretty much equeal.

I'd disagree about the talent levels.  Some of the reason that UA is able to pull in higher-level talent recently is geography (this includes S.C. native Clowney).  Some kids just want to stay closer to home so friends/family can go to the game in FL.

Although you can't see expansive video of the practices, there are still highlight videos, an intense combine, and in-depth reporters' analyses.

Using that argument proves my point alone. With the talent in Florida alone, combined with Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Georgia, I would put that up against all the other states combined. Once they pull a few players for their game from Texas and California, and the rest of the other states their game has easily compared to the Army game over the last few years. Not to mention UA got the best player in Michigan the last two years (Gardner/Gholston (both) and Thomas last year), along with the top three from Ohio last year (Grant/DePriest/Miller). Also, UA had the top player in Florida (Clinton-Dix), South Carolina (Clowney), North Carolina (Stephone Anthony), and  Lousiana (La'el Collins) last year. There were over 35 kids that played in the UA game last year outside of those six states I mentioned last year. Compare the two rosters from last years games. There is very little difference in the talent level. If you disagree with that statement, then yes, I guess we will agree to disagree.

I could see him choosing to play in the game where his future teammates get invited too, which looks like Army AA at this point

Edit**  Stupidly mixing up 2012 and 2013 classes.  Crazy that we have such a stud committed already
