Virginia quarterback Kevin Newsome has narrowed his potential college choices down to three schools:Penn State, Virginia Tech, and Boston College

Newsome, who intends to enroll in college in January, will hold a press conference at a sports bar in his hometown of Norfolk to announce his decision. The press conference is slated for early evening, but a specific time has yet to be set.

We need a Quarterback in this class.

In a sportsbar?

I’m glad I’m not the only that thought. That kinda scares me.

John Madden told me 90% of the game was half-mental...

Beachum made his verbal to PSU in a Ytown sportsbar

but yeah, I thought the same thing. Why is a prep school kid who is under 21 making an announcement in a sportsbar? Hopefully we’ll get the news that everyone is projecting this weekend!

It could be

a Damon’s or something like that.

He is from Virginia which produced the Vick brothers….

Not a big deal

A lot of kids make announcements in an ESPN Zone or something. It’s not uncommon.

yea, remember when all the MD recruits in '05 got together....

and announced together at the ESPN sports zone in Baltimore. Par for the course these days….

Better not be a Damon's...

jesse could lose it:

"Screw Damon’s, bad ribs served by Ohio State fans to the unsuspecting public."

Newsome

As I said earlier today, all my VT coworkers came in to work mad at me today. They’ve all heard over the weekend that Newsome has swung our way with Devlin’s transfer. And some of these people are the type with subscription info.

I ain’t saying, I’m just saying. I’m not counting this fish until it’s in the boat.

Luring recruits with my new "Posting HD" scheme since '08.

I heard the same thing

From a co-worker whom is a Va Tech alum, along the same lines. And he said these insiders are pretty much on point when it comes to recruiting news.

Need a QB in this class....

….that is an understatement.

Getting Newsome is CRITICAL to future success at PSU.

WE ARE.......PENN STATE!

On a scale

of 1-10 on how much we need Newsome…we are at a 0 beacuse we have Zug…

You’re right I should have put an Exclamation point on the end.

Wow

I just watched some video on ESPN. He’s very raw. But no worries our QB coach extrodinare will coach him up to be a stud. Wonder if he has any interest in LB or DE? Doubtful I’m sure.

Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

Brackett

Any word on the let’s move Brackett back to QB camp?

I stll think we should Redshirt Newsome if we get him because we need to fix those passing (lack of) skills. Very much like MRob (Legend) coming out of Virginia. Big, athletic, just needs to work on touch, accuracy, etc..

Subscription Info

Indication from a couple of sources is that Newsome is going to go PSU, but I’ll believe this when I see it.

Brackett has been practicing at QB, supposedly.

We are currently

at #13 for recruiting classes on scout.com. Does Newsome put us in the top 10? And if we get Jenkins would that put us in the top 5? Not that it really matters though, however it would be a nice badge of honor.

by whiteoutonly on Dec 15, 2008 3:14 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

Who knows

There are still a lot of uncommitted kids out there. I would imagine that adding Newsome, Brown, Jenkins, and Exum would put us in a great position on the board regardless.

by psuphiman80 on Dec 15, 2008 3:38 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

Yeah, saw Jenkins has scheduled his official in late January

could be a nice final push to get him here. Looks like Florida might be the team to beat for his services.

awesome..

we’re putting up “late January in State College” against Florida…

by The JuggerNitt on Dec 16, 2008 2:24 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

Yeah, not exactly comparable

I would say that I hoped it was raining the whole time he was at UF, but from what I’ve read he said it went “perfect”.

by Screen Name 20 on Dec 16, 2008 3:39 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

we were gonna be his last visit in January

until those damn swamp lizards got his attention a month or so ago. He visits us and supposedly will give UF one more from what I have read. Hopefully he comes to Happy Valley and never wants to leave. :)

I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member

One thing going for us

I believe I remember reading his mom wants him to stay close to home. PSU is closer than Florida.

Florida

I don't think we're allowed to play ourselves

and not sure if we could beat ourselves. Sorta like the unstoppable force meets the immovable object…or the “can Zug create a rock so large that even he cannot lift it?”

Sheeet

I didn’t hear that.

by Screen Name 20 on Dec 16, 2008 4:17 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

Possibly

Get Newsome, Exum, Brown and Jenkins we’re probably a top five class according to the recruiting services. But the important thing will be that Penn State went out and met all of their needs. Class rankings are good, but at the end of the day they don’t matter much.
