He must be, right? He wasn't blowing up AAU though playing with the '19 group so I'm a bit surprised.

This today from Corey Evans. -

Morton is far from a college decision, so it's difficult to single out a favorite in his recruitment at this point.

What makes Morton such a prized recruit is the fact that he can play all three perimeter positions on the offensive end. His intellect, egoless approach and maturity bolsters his resume.

Look for Morton to remain patient with the recruiting process. Practically the entire Big Ten has prioritized him to date and, thanks to his grades, will not be short on elite academic pursuance.

Maybe an author choice, but interesting that Indiana was listed and discussed first.

For those who have seen him play, would you categorize Morton as a true lead ball hander or more combo-ish?  In my mind, a lead ball handler has to be a hard point for the 2020 class.

I feel stupid for not noticing that.

I want this kid for the 2020 class. You win big in college basketball with players like Morton.

Has anyone seen this kid play?  Can anyone walk me through the appeal?  I see his ranking is in the 50s, and he's got plenty of high major interest.  I've watched his highlight videos, and honestly there's nothing there.  The article posted is nice.  Is this a kid we want?

He’s a 6’5” point guard who looks to have a good work ethic. Additionally he’s unanimously ranked in the top 60, has numerous big time offers, and will be a multiple year player. He also continually posts triple doubles in high school so he seems to be a well rounded player.

I would welcome him with open arms

Yeah I watched him at Westfield. He was playing up an age group and didn’t really stand out scoring wise but he has great size for his position and his passing his one of his better strengths. Above average shooter and is one of those kids that seems to make the right plays all the time. I wanting to watch him more but I would take him in a heartbeat. Michigan wants him as well

At least 9 drawn fouls each game. No wonder Archie likes him.

Yup. More drawn fouls than made shots. It’s like Archie CRISPR’d him. Seriously, a  kid with PG skills and Wing length. Love it. 

[Hoosier Guy]

Pretty safe to say Archie knew what he was doing offering Morton. I remember a lot of people questioned the offer. Archie knows what he’s doing. I have complete confidence in him

Still rumors of him reclassifying?

Honestly I haven’t seen any report of this being an option from anywhere besides a message board
