In the category of things we already knew but continue to be confirmed:
Dylan Morris report after Day 1 at the Opening - Morris is an accurate and a very good rhythm thrower and today was no exception. Can fit the ball in tight windows and has advanced timing and anticipation as well.
While the Washington commit spun a good ball, he had to really muscle up on deep throws or balls that needed extra velocity. His delivering simply is not as effortless as others in the camp. Despite that, the Graham (Wash.) Graham-Kapowsin was still able to hit a few throws on vertical routes and had good timing on the deep outs.

That's a damning write-up if your offense is based on the Raiders vertical offense.
If your offense is full of slants, drags, ins, etc. then it's less of an issue.
He'll be the type of QB that having a scheme that fits what he's asked to do will really matter.
If you have a really strong run game and it forces teams to commit numbers into the box, then the challenges that he has on longer throws are partially mitigated by the fewer numbers in the box. His strengths of throwing on time and accuracy then become bigger plays.
In passing situations, there will be the question of are teams prepared to play man against us (few will be able to match up physically with us) which may highlight his shortcomings versus do teams try to play more zone and contain (which probably plays more to his strength).
The only time with that write-up where I see Morris having problems is 3rd and 16's when you're asking him to fit in a throw like Locker did to Kearse against USC.

Surprised the shit out of me he's not the second coming of Dan Marino. What is Petersen gonna do? Oh noes!

Just reporting the quotes, nothing more. My expectations aren't super high. The 7 denotes he was rated as seventh of the QB's at the opening, which is pretty fucking good. Coming in the following year he'll likely be behind Eason, Haener, Sirmon, and Yankoff. I can't imagine Morris seeing the field, and quite honestly ideally, until his Junior season.

Graham-Kapowsin product completed 35 of 54 passes, good enough for a 65 percent completion rate, and added five touchdown throws as well.

He threw 5 picks in flag football? Hopefulle scholarship gets pulled immediately!

His decision making is an issue. Browning tucks, rolls, and takes sacks. Morris, a gunslinger, makes ill advised throws, much too often.
If Morris gets under center at UW, the more he plays, the more we’ll miss Jake Browning.

Burying the lede:
He was setting them up for a comeback!
Dylan Morris, QB, Graham (Wash.) Kapowsin - The Washington commit had an up and down day, starting slowly in pool play but getting going in the tournament part, helping his team win two games. Morris had two touchdown passes in the first four games to five interceptions, two which were deflected by his own receivers, but then bounced back in the tournament, with three touchdowns and no interceptions. He was much better in his reads and didn't attempt as many risky throws in the evening and that got his game on track.

I’m not afraid of bashing the kids.
His release is noticeably weird. I thought Jake Heaps was a QB guru?!?!?
