QUOTING HEAD COACH WAYNE TINKLE ON MORGAN: "We kind of did him a favor (having him walk on at UM) because he's such a great kid, but low and behold, he's turned himself into a pretty good basketball player. He's our best student and he's a great representative for Grizzly basketball.

"He asked me this year, `coach am I going to be able to compete for playing time?' It his third year, and it wouldn't surprise me that at some time he will get into the line-up, just because he works so darn hard and he's come so far. We love having him on our team, and he's a great personality. He's got a bright future in front of him no matter what he decides to pursue."
