If you were joking, I apologize for my misinterpretation.

And not as a QB.

Here is an interesting tidbit from the original source (the local newspaper, the Virginian Pilot) that the Detroit Free Press relied upon:

"I thought when he picked Michigan, he jumped the gun a little bit, and I was disappointed," Johnston said. "I told him that."

Johnston is not a big fan of Wolverines coach Rich Rodriguez, who told Newsome he was "their guy" and then continued to recruit several other top quarterbacks. Michigan received a second QB commitment just days after Newsome's pledge.

I was semi-serious.. wasn't sure if Marcus got drafted or not, though.

(I had a joking tone, but Michael Vick was fairly successful when he was in the league)

Scout.com: Newsome is Back on the Market

Decommitted

it's not funny that he decommitted....just that some Michigan fans were so certain he wouldn't.

I wasn't certain he wouldn't, though I obviously hoped he wouldn't. Definitely hurts. I think Tate Forcier will take his spot.

VT bound?

I'm quite curious if Tate Forcier has had his own spot for awhile...

You think they would have taken/take three QBs?

[MD Buckeye]

Thanks 22!

VT, UNC and PSU are all standing in line for Newsome's services, VT leads.

Ouch!! It was only a matter of time though. My buddy is batting 1000 this year. They better hope they get Forcier!!

I know one guy who is pretty happy about this:

I would have thought so too; however, apparently Lew Johnston didn't think so after Dick-Rod told Newsome he was "their guy".

Yes it is.


No surprise here, there's been smoke for quite a while, and no matter how much they wanted to deny it, where there's smoke, there's often fire.

This has an impact on PSU too. They have been really wanting to land Forcier and with Newsome no longer a scUM verbal, they have to be the favorites now. PSU really needs a top QB in this class so you gotta think if Forcier does turn blue, they have to go after Newsome hard. For the record, I think he ends up a Hokie (Newsome that is).
