Might be a bad question. But what ever happened to Shawn Conway. Last I knew he committed an signed but I haven't heard anything about him and couldn't find a goodbye post. I thought he could be a good receiver for us someday
Mod edit: Title changed. Please make thread titles as informative as possible; additional information can be found in the MGoBoardFAQ linked at the top of the page. JGB.
Academics?
That train sailed sometime in
That train sailed sometime in the summer before he enrolled, if I remember correctly. I don't an official reason was ever given.
Not that I loved Rich Rod less, but that I loved Michigan more.

Gotta love the Dutch.

And no need to click the link because it's in the link, but he wasn't academically elligible.

He had some legal issues as I
He had some legal issues as I recall. Got caught stealing from a fellow student or something. Hoke's staff never pursued him after RR left.

"as I recall"
Why make this comment when:
A. It has already been established that academics were the issue.
B. As I recall, stealing from a fellow student does not preclude one from participation.

I was helping answer the OP's
I was helping answer the OP's quesiton you little douche. Conway was videotapped stealing money out a fellow student's locker and some fans speculated that this was part of the reason Hoke's staff never pursued him even if he were able to get his grades up.

He didn't qualify
He didn't qualify academically and played at GRCC with Dorsey for a year, maybe two, and then that football program was discontinued.

He never played at GRCC. He
He never played at GRCC. He went to Butte College and then I think he was at Hutchinson C.C.
hmm maybe this is REALLY old
hmm maybe this is REALLY old news then and never happened.

It didn't. Unless he played
It didn't. Unless he played the entire 2011 season for Butte College in Chico, CA while playing football for GRCC as well. That would require an awful lot of travel, though.
uninformative title
is uninformative
I didn't even remember who Conway was and had to open this to find out. Suggestion for edit perhaps: What ever happened to recruit Shawn Conway?

This seems like your problem,
This seems like your problem, not the OP's.
I was trying
to suggest a title edit for the OP so that he could make a more informative title. There is a reason that his post got so many downvotes. I made the same mistake when I started posting topics here, having uninformative titles. I was doing this as a PSA so that way he could try and improve his title, because I did the same until some others here pointed out to me the error of my ways. Just trying to help make the forums here a better place, as others did for me.

overly informative poster
I didn't even remember who Conway was and so I chose to open this to find out. I found out and was happy.
Thank you for the twitter and blog info. Perhaps your many followers could discuss "uninformative title" at length.............OVER THERE.

He's actually giving information about THIS blog
What should I title my threads?
Please make your thread titles as informative as possible: "Justin Feagin" is bad. "Justin Feagin leaving the team?" is good.

exactly - titles need to be clear and informative so we know what the topic is. exactly my point, thanks for the agreement.

What happened to Charlie
What happened to Charlie Conway? Now that would be an awesome thread.
"Are you an official here?Because you've officially given me a boner."
I'm still waiting for that
I'm still waiting for that movie.
From last year (h/t TouchTheBanner)
Conway’s original intent was to go play at Grand Rapids Community College, but instead he took his talents to the West Coast to play at Butte. “I wanted to get away and be my own person, so I left the state and went as far as I could go,” Conway said.
Conway has enjoyed his experience so far at Butte and still has his sights set on playing Division I football.
The coach that offered Conway to play football at the University of Michigan, Rich Rodriguez, is no longer the coach at U of M. Rodriguez was hired by the University of Arizona and is still interested in coaching Conway.
“Rich Rod offered me [to play football] at Arizona so I might end up there,” Conway said. “But I’m keeping my options open so far.”
Conway had always had his sights set on UofM, but now his decision on where he will go to school is open.
“It’s pretty open right now,” Conway said. “I’d love to go to Michigan, but I’ve only talked to Brady Hoke (Rodriguez’s replacement at U of M) once since he’s been the coach and I don’t know what his plans are with me or even if he has any intentions with me so I’m just keeping it open.”

From what I can tell
He ended up at Butte College in Chico, California. Here's an article about him from the Seaholm school paper http://seaholmhighlanderarchive.com/sports/football/1211-conways-untold-story
He was also identified as the primary assailant in an assault when a bunch of Butte players allegedly showed up uninvited to a party and started a fight . http://www.newsreview.com/chico/off-sides/content?oid=5763331
He no longer appears on the Butte roster, so he has either transferred again, or was kicked off the team after the incident. http://www.butte.edu/departments/athletics/football/Roster.html
To bad he
has not been able to get himself under control. He is a big body with speed and has some talent. Doubt he makes it to Division 1A football, but you never know.
I went to high school with
I went to high school with him. The kid was a moron and a thief
If you don't like Michigan you are a peasant
As a poster said above
He went from Butte to Hutchinson CC in Kansas. Apparently according to Rivals a few schools have offered Conway: Marshall and Mississippi State with Louisiana tech also showing interest.
