#michigan qb commitment shane morris, decked out in maze and blue, really impressive this far. #elite11 [via Twitter] |
This is the chat link but the chat is rather boring
http://espn.go.com/college-sports/recruiting/football/story/_/id/772554…
trent dilfer is high on him FWIW lol
But would he give Shane the car keys if everyone was heading out to eat?
(Google "Mark Sanchez car keys trent dilfer" for some insight)
Is there any way we can watch this, or at least get some play by play or something?
They are having a chat but its going by very slow and you can't ask questions.. So you only get the lil bits of info they put out
http://espn.go.com/college-sports/recruiting/football/story/_/id/7725541/dallas-elite-11-live-chat
It doesn't update very much information, all it really is, is a collection of writers there tweeting. Best I can find thus far.
Thanks to umfan323 and dothepose for the info on where to find out more. We may get some information about this thing yet !
Interesting to think what Shane can do with top shelf receivers that can catch those rocket balls he can throw. I'm not sure that the typical HS receiver can get in front of one of those things without breaking a finger. . . .
I'm not even sure what the purpose of that live blog is, it is giving aboslutely no information out at a rate of 1 tweet per 10 minutes. Yet i'm more focused on that compared to the Louisville vs Florida game.
Also, apparently Tony Romo is there giving advice. If Shane is smart he will not listen to a damn word he says. I would love to hear his take on how he was being recruited to play football for Eastern Illinois lol.
Romo might be a choke artist, but you've got to be special to make the bigs from a background like his. Most players will do more in life with hearing about how far work ethic will take you instead of learning to throw a better spiral.
Will probably tell Shane to stay away from blonde pseudo-country/pop singers. Bad news.

Tony Romo is the 5+ year starting QB for the most valuable franchise in the NFL. Clearly he's doing something right.
Is the Elite 11 open to the public? I live in Dallas and it would be sweet to check out the camp.
atleast according to what I've heard
I will pay you $20 to live update was going on, because you can't be doing worse than what anone else is doing there.
Apparently, a Zach Allen (no star) and Devonte Kincade (3 star, but plays on Skyline in Dallas) are doing the best so far
Does anyone know if any WRs that we are recruiting are playing at this event? It would seem like getting to catch a few balls from Shane could make more of an impact on a WR recruit than visiting campus or meeting coaches. After all, this is the guy they'd be spending four years working with. . .
Michigan commit Shane Morris throws one heck of a fastball. Probably the most mature/developed-looking guys here.
Nice praise, huh?
Our receivers are gonna have to do a lot of hand workouts so they can handle his throws.
One thing that may (just MHO) have kind of held Shane back a bit over the last season is the amazing velocity that he gets on the ball. His De La Salle receivers just might not be up for catching that kind of a pass.
I remember that in college at Colorado, Michael Westbrook (college All American and highly drafted by the pros) broke a finger trying to catch a Kordell Stewart pass.
It may be that Shane's zing is just a little much for any but the very best of HS receivers. Of course, he is going to learn how to make good throws without his full velocity once he gets to the M.
That's one reason that I am interested in hearing how he performs with receivers where he can really let it go without having to hold back quite so much.
Michael Westbrook suffered more damage from Kordell Stewarts throws than when he dropped stephen davis
Nice little nod to Denard, Shane has his shoelaces untied in that picture.
How many guys get invited to the final camp from each regional workout? Is there a limit?
DaVante Kincade got the 1st Elite 11 invite per ESPN's Crabtree
wins MVP and was 1st QB selected to Elite 11 Final in California... Trent Dilfer says he was "most intense from 1st snap" doesnt say anything about skills tho
Shane needs to work on those calves.
you'll find his sweatshirt.
March 24th, 2012 at 10:08 PM ^
Your comment history has piqued my interest...
But...he still has tomorrow.
March 24th, 2012 at 11:01 PM ^
The national competition in Cali take 20 guys. You don't have to win a regional to make it out to the finals. Shane will be there. For sure.
March 25th, 2012 at 12:32 PM ^
To improve your mechanics as much as you can before your senior year...
March 26th, 2012 at 12:39 PM ^
It's a little of both. They bring in the top QBs and work with them on their mechanics. No one is going to master what they learn in the camp, but Devin Gardner was said to have improved his mechanics massively while at the elite 11 camp. They just degraded as the season progressed on without any additional coaching.
FREE-espn interview and write up

I feel bad for the guy. You can really tell he wants to be the number one qb in the class. I bet he lights it up at the Columbus regional. The guy that wrote this up seems to agree with the poster above about Morris blowing receivers hands off being the reason for a lot of dropped balls, which is good because I think he's very capable of improving his touch. Curious, however, that the article says if the first invitation was given out for energy alone that Morris would have won, but it sounded to me like the only reason Dilfer gave it to Kincade was because of his energy...
Thats 1 thing i've noticed about Shane Morris is he throws a hard and fast ball when he needs to take some off of it and put a lil touch.. If he takes that advice into consideration then he will be fine
