Thought the ASR article mentioned MLB. Sort of an interesting turn of events. Recruited as a QB; encouraged to graduate and enroll early and end up playing defense.

As long as the kid is OK with that type of move then that would be great. He certainly has the build that will help him to add more muscle and we know that he's very athletic. Does he need to improve his 4.7 40 time for that position?

told you guys months ago hes a horrible qb thats why we got katz sorry No where in the ASR interview w/ Rocky does it say he is not impressive as QB. As of now he's still a QB recruit. Rocky is giving him the opportunity to have a shot at no.1 throughout the camps. If anything, in the interview he says the was also impressive as MLB.

I'm cool with the position change as long as they give Morin an equal and fair opportunity to compete for the QB job. Otherwise, he may just transfer out if he is set on playing QB, and it may make it difficult to recruit other athletic QB's in the future who would be worried about being forced to switch positions once they sign.
Coach Long is saying all the right things right now, so interested to see how this plays out.

Reminds me of another Aztec with possibility of switching to defense, Brian Russell. He even had a pretty good career in the NFL as well. goaztecs.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/russell_brian00.htmlCoach Rocky long seems to be a straight shooter so i have to believe trust and clear communication are paramount with players and their coaches. Is it football season yet? can't wait!!! Go Aztecs!

Let a kid be a kid and graduate and dick around spring in HS and what not - if you're going to change his position, you damn well better have been upfront with him and he was on board with it. If so, great; but, if, they got his ass on campus and therefore his clock starting, and sprung it, that's awful. I sure hope it's the former

Coach Long said he is going to give him a shot at QB thats why he's here. However, If he's not going to start now or in the immediate future which I think that he more than likley wont then coach is doing the team and the kid a service to let him get playing time at another position. Good move IMO.

Everybody relax. A few years back when U$C was winning/competing for the national titles there was a LB named Matt Grooteman (SP?) who started as RS frosh at LB and did so for 4 years. He had been an all-CIF QB from Mater Dei and was a terrific player. Good schools with smart coaches see and understand talent........and put them where they will succeed. Give this coaching staff and players some credit and quit knee-jerking these type of situations.......absolutely absurd.
