What happened to Shawn Conway?
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.

It's not THAT crazy.

That's a HOVERCRAFT, not a SAILBOAT. Geez, don't you know your watercraft?

Gotta love the Dutch.

But this site had an update about a year ago...not sure if anything new has come of it-

Also from around the same time, but not very current-

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 recall. Got caught stealing from a fellow student or something. Hoke's staff never pursued him after RR left.
January 18th, 2013 at 10:21 AM ^
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.
January 18th, 2013 at 11:03 AM ^
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.
January 18th, 2013 at 9:25 AM ^
He didn't qualify academically and played at GRCC with Dorsey for a year, maybe two, and then that football program was discontinued.
January 18th, 2013 at 10:09 AM ^
He never played at GRCC. He went to Butte College and then I think he was at Hutchinson C.C.
January 18th, 2013 at 10:27 AM ^
hmm maybe this is REALLY old news then and never happened.

January 18th, 2013 at 10:39 AM ^
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.
January 18th, 2013 at 9:34 AM ^
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?
January 18th, 2013 at 10:27 AM ^
January 18th, 2013 at 10:54 AM ^
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.
January 18th, 2013 at 10:40 AM ^
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.
January 18th, 2013 at 10:57 AM ^
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.

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.”

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

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.
January 18th, 2013 at 9:57 AM ^
January 18th, 2013 at 10:16 AM ^
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.

They're still around, moving truckloads across the country, much as they ever did.
