The same buddy who feeds me all of my VT info (whether I want it or not  ) is hearing that PSU is not a real player here. Apparently Newsome is 50/50 between VT and UNC... as always with info like this, TIFWIW |

This is still in the recruiting forum and the topic of the thread is Kevin Newsome.
Garbage split elsewhere.

Newsome's probably done with Michigan. Oh well. What I think will happen is Newsome will look at VT, PSU, (Never heard UNC but you said them so I'll add them) UNC, and Florida (TJB on GBW said this).
Only thing I don't get is VT. He'd would have Tyrod Taylor in front of him, then that 2010 really amazing QB (Sims?) behind him. At Penn State he'd probably start yeah, but they haven't developed anybody (best QB under Jay Paterno was 45th in efficiency). I'm not trying to justify him back to Michigan, I think he's gone forever.. I'm just trying to figure out where he would go. What do you all think?

I've read that he really likes the coaching staff at UNC. PSU would provide the easiest path to playing time, but as you stated, their QB track record is pretty poor. Michael Robinson is probably the best QB they've had in the past decade and he's a backup RB in the NFL now. His family seems to want him to got to VT and that would be my bet right now.

I agree with many and think VaTech is the main player here. While UM fans can spin it any way they want, the kid was flat out lied to. RR said "Your our guy", and then came the commitment of Beaver, also maybe Forcier. No matter if the kid is afraid of competition or not, the kid apprently just dosen't like being lied to.

It was pretty common knowledge from the beginning of this class that Rodriguez was taking two QBs to fit his offense. If Newsome decommitted because he thought they were only taking one, what took him so long to decommit? |

Hey now...don't let logic or reality get in the way of us hating RR.
You raise a good question...what did take him so long to decommit?
