Morris to Grad Transfer

dragon.   The guy is armed with a cannon.   He might have a shot at the League if he can find a program that will let him throw for 3,000+ yards next year.

And I remember how excited I was for him to lead us to greatness. Sad it didn't work out, but I'm glad he got his degree and I hope he finds success elsewhere. And I will always be mad that he was allowed to play while obviously concussed. That's one of my least favorite Michigan memories of all time.

Good luck, young buck.

I admit it makes me a bit sad to see this. He really hung in there and love for the University. Hopefully it will work out for him wherever he lands

Would very much like to see him tear it up wherever he goes.

I hear Sparty is looking...

Good luck to him. I have a feeling he may do well for himself next year.

Always nice to see the Asshole Association come out in full force for a kid who, despite little playing time, gave his all for the school and the team.

Hope he winds up somewhere where he can start on the field and get a good graduate degree off of it.

It all seemed to go downhill after he got mono, sucks his football career at michigan never amounted to much.

Hope the kid gets the starting job wherever he goes and kicks ass. As long as they aren't on our schedule next year.

Pulling for Shane. Hope he lands somewhere great and can show off that cannon of an arm!

He's the living embodiment of the Hoke era. Much promise at the start followed by stagnation and eventually a fall. None of this, essentially, was on Morris. He lost a year of development in HS to mono, then  he came in and was forced into a role he shouldn't have been in (#2 QB) without a guy capable of developing him because the staff failed in recruitment. And then there was Minnesota. Feel very badly for him, but as folks have said, grateful that he was able to get his degree. Wish him nothing but the best.

A casualty of the Hoke failure and a victim of absolute shit luck. Hard to say his career would have played out way differently had he not contracted mono and missed his senior season. Sometimes life gives you shit lemons and you could try your absolute hardest but you're destined to make shitonade.

Sad to see Shane go but I hope he goes somewhere that he will have a chance to be a starting QB.

Unfortuniate that when most people think of his name and Michigan Football in the same sentance it will remind people of one of the more embarassing moments in program history.

You should be proud of the four years you put in here.  Don't listen to the negative Nellies.

for four years Shane.  Congratulations on staying and getting your degree.  Will be rooting for you next year and always.   Michigan man for life.  Good luck.

Good luck Sugar Shane!

Best of luck to him. A lot of our offensive players from the Hoke years got the short end of the stick when it came to coaching and development. The defense at least had Mattison to guide them.

Double Post

May you find that team that let's you really show what you got.

A true Michigan man. Wish him nothing but the best

Wish him the best.

His genuine excitement and pride in playing for Michigan, along with his efforts to bring in other players during a very dark time for our program should be remembered and appreciated. 

How petty and childish for people to criticize him, now that he's making a difficult decision to leave his chosen and beloved school for a chance to play.

This kid, as far as I've ever heard, accepted his role and contribution with grace and class.

He soldiered through his whole concussion debacle without bad-mouthing anyone (when he would have been perfectly justified to speak his mind).

He's graduating from the University of Michigan, after honoring the school and program for four years.

Thanks for giving your all to U of M, Shane.  Congratulations on graduating, and best of luck with your new school and team!

I always wanted to see Shane throw an option pass for the win against,"you know who!" The team with hall of fame referees, patting asses.

To demonstrate his talents, start at QB and perform well. Who knows about the NFL?  Look at Rawls.  Stranger things have happened.

I graduated from De La Salle fifty years (no shit 50 years) prior to Shane and hoped for his best here.  Can you imagine a starting QB from that Christian Brothers school in Detroit (my time) and Warren (his time)? DLS never delivered the number of scholarship players as some of the other Detroit area Catholic high schools and Shane was my big hope for DLS.

It didn't happen and he was placed in some weird (terrible?) situations.....starting in the bowl game as a true freshman without any game experience......then the Iowa game (again without any game experience that year) where he was targeted, concussed and the officials didn't give a shit about that.  No comment about Brady.

Shane never complained.  Rather, he continued to support his competitors and teammates.  Others passed him for starting positions and the depth chart but he never complained.  Instead, he was always a true, supportive teamate and Michigan Man.

I never understood the visceral posts on this board about his capabilities and still don't.  But.........whatever if that floats your boat.

Go Shane! 

Go Blue!

Honestly, the person most surprised by this is probably Morris himself. Best of luck to him, I hope he does well elsewhere.

Best of luck to Shane. He stuck through some tough times and looks like he's leaving with a degree and a year to play. That's commendable.

Go blue!!!

Any obvious possible landing spots for him?  I hope he gets a legit chance to shine somewhere else.

EDIT:  Answer might be right above me.  Good timing.
