Shane Morris seemed to do well in the QB Elite 11 camp this past weekend. He didn't though make the top 11 ranked QB's at the camp by the Elite 11 coaches. I wonder why some of the other QB's were ranked above Shane? Morris reportedly threw the ball 75 yards in the air and also won the accuracy award on one of the days. So it wasn't his arm strength or accuracy. Seems he had trouble with consistency but Scott Kennedy from Scouts had Morris rated as his #1 guy at the entire camp. So the top 11 list seems a little fishy to me.
Shane is now off to the Gridiron Kings 7on7 at Disney later this week. He is really earning some frequent flyer miles this summer.
- Darryl Stonum is going to play his final year of football at Baylor. I assume he will be eligible right away. He sat out last year and did graduate on time. He is a good WR and with a good senior year has a chance at getting drafted. Good luck Darryl and too bad RG3 is gone. Let's hope he has learned from his mistakes while at Michigan.
- 2013 Florida WR Alvin Baily list his top 8: "Right now my top eight is South Carolina, UCF, Notre Dame, Florida State, Georgia, Texas A&M, Michigan and Auburn," Bailey said. "There's an order but that's only for me to know right now." We know he prefers to stay close to home, so Michigan fans should not hold their breathe on this one.
- Penn State's NCAA Penalty is just coming in now. We know the Joe Paterno statue was taken down on Sunday morning. It looks like PSU will be hit with the following sanctions:
-$60M in fines
-The loss of 10 scholarships a year for 4 years.
-Any Penn State player can transfer with out losing a year of eligibility.
-Vacates wins from 1998-2011
-5 years of NCAA Probation
-NCAA can investigate and penalize any individual after the criminal process has been completed
This is worse then the death penalty for Penn State Football. It is crushing the program for 4 years and many years after. It also takes away wins from Joe Paterno who now will no longer have the most wins in college football history.
Big Ten added:
- No BIG Ten Championship game for 4 years.
- PSU will not get any shared Big Ten Bowl Revenue during those 4 years, which is estimated at $13M a year. That revenue will go to charity.
Players from the State of Michigan on Penn State's current roster:
-Rob Bolden QB JR.
-CJ Olaniyan DE JR/SO
-Allen Robinson WR SO
-Anthony Zettel DE SO/FR

As unpopular as it may seem, we've got to understand that what PSU did institutionally was a criminal act. Minor children were victimized and there was a big cover up to protect the perpetrator and not the kids. Those who want to cry over the football program actually misses the point, PSU systematically victimized minor children placing football over their safety. That is a dark mark against the NCAA if they didn't make an example of this for their other schools who may try to cover up other horrendous acts against humanity. Listen, none of us are angels however, we've got to draw the line somewhere.
I agree the NCAA had to do something and this penalty will hurt Penn State Football for probably 10 years.
I wonder what the Big Ten is going to announce at 11:00?
The $60M ($12M a year) can be covered with PSU's share of BTN yearly revenue.
