Shawn Conway, a receiver from Birmingham, Michigan, was on very few people's recruiting radars before last night. Rich Rodriguez and his staff were able to evaluate Conway at the 7-on-7 camps last summer, and after viewing his film they offered him last night at Michigan's Junior Day. Conway accepted immediately, and becomes the third commitment in the 2011 class.
Conway plays receiver and defensive back at Birmingham Seaholm High School, and also is a kick/punt return specialist for his team. He's got great size at 6"4, and you can see in his highlight films that Shawn is great at going up and getting the ball out of the air, whether it's on a route or in traffic. This is going to be pivotal for Conway in his future at Michigan, because the last two season's very few receivers have been able to go up and get the ball and adjust well to it in the air.
Some might say Conway is a little slow, but I think he's actually got solid speed. And that can be worked on as well. Of the four recently committed receivers (Miller, Jackson, Robinson, and now Conway), I'd say Shawn is faster than all of them, and if you combine that with his hands and catching abilities, I think he's got a very high ceiling once he gets to Michigan.
