I just got back from a business trip to Tennessee and I met with with one of my customers that follows UT football & recruiting very closely. He said that Newton is ours and that Kiffin has turned his attention away from CM because he realizes he's wasting his time trying to sway him to Big Orange country. This guy said that Newton is a "silent commit" for MSU. I know, I know, the old "silent commit" BS. Anyway, it was good news to hear from another source outside of the MSU family. Finally, we'll have a QB that can at least see over the line. Now we need to go after some mean-*** O-Linemen and a few more headhunters on the defensive side.
Also, I am very impressed by the young guns' performance in the defensive secondary. They should only get better with more playing time. John Banks is the man.
