If you follow the link to the athletic dept. and visit the Post-Grad football section (which is what KN will be playing) you will find they went 5-3-1 against college teams. There is also the list of their current NFL players including Tory Holt, Brandon Flowers and Keon Lattimore.

Yeah. Those college teams include the Naval Acadamy's JV team and also Tennessee's JV team. Not to mention that there are some pretty good players that Newsome will be going up against on a regular basis in practice that are also attending Hargrave.

Not sure if this was already posted but I found this interesting article on Newsome and how he looked very good at the Top Gun Showcase Camp. It also says that him and Bryce Mcneal have become real good friends and have been bragging to other top recruits. Either way, it's a great read and update on Newsome.

He sounds like a good hard working kid. Hopefully we can keep him.

All we have to go on is what the kid says today. Today, he's going to Michigan. It doesn't mean anything at this point, but that is where he's going. If he changes his mind in a year, he won't be the first kid and surely won't be the last.

Yep. I had enough of this with Pryor so for me, I couldn't care less what the kid says or does right now. If he signs, great. If he doesn't, no big deal. Something tells me that RR won't have a lot of problems finding QB's to run his offense.

The head coach at Hargrave makes sure kids stick to their commitments; that's one of the main purposes of being there. If he's still a Michigan commit by the time he gets to Hargrave, he'll stick.

Believe it or not, I hope you guys get Newsome. I think it will add some fun to the rivalry. Unfortunately, internet chatter abounds about this one not sticking. Too many home teamers in his ear. This one won't be over until he signs on the dotted line.

After clicking on that link and looking at their football results from last year, they weren't pretty. They went 3-6 if I'm correct, but I'm guessing Newsome knows more about that program and how it is going to help him in the long run.

thats good to hear.... does anyone have any new news on Darius Winston ???? is michigan still in the driver seat ????

Yes. It's pretty telling that even when the Clemson site interviewed him, he made it clear Michigan was #1 right now.

The second Texas officially offers him, though...hold onto your seats.

Oh and BTW this is a great move for Newsome. Just search Hargrove MA and look at all the NFLers that they have. Impressive. This can only help KN coming to UM next year.

-Newsome arrived late at the camp and never seemed to get on track completely. He did have some nice throws, especially on three-step drops when he could unleash his arm strength. But when it came to making good five and seven-step drops, reading progressions and completing intermediate and longer passes, he wasn't as effective.

There wasn't another player put together like Newsome, though. He's one of the most impressive looking players from a physical standpoint. A rock solid, 6-3, 217 pounds, he's about as good looking of a player from the eyeball standpoint in the nation.

Newsome also revealed to Rivals.com exclusively he will be leaving Western Branch and attend Hargrave Military Academy next fall. Newsome said the move will be done to help him stay on track academically and advance as a quarterback prospect. He definitely will get top-notch coaching at Hargrave.

As for Winston, Michigan is still his #1 right now. He'll most likely be coming to AA only on an official during the season. RR and staff (Coach Hopson) are recruiting him hard. This one looks like it might go on fo awhile. We'll see though.

Everybody at Rivals was freaking out - and rightfully so, that's a dick move to do with that headline. He's not enrolling early, he's not decommitting, he's just changing high schools. He's going to Hargrave Military Academy for his senior year (Vidal Hazelton, USC WR, did the same thing a couple years ago).

A change in plans for Newsome

by Jeremy Crabtree of Rivals.com Football Recruiting
More than 70 of the nation's top quarterbacks were in Las Vegas Saturday for the final chance to qualify for the prestigious EA Sports Elite 11 Quarterback Camp. While there, Michigan commitment Kevin Newsome informed Rivals.com of a change in plans for his future.

I'm guessing that he is enrolling early - but don't have access. Any information would be appreciated!
