Street Novelist Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Top junior college quarterback Cameron Newton (Brenham, Texas/Blinn College) updated ESPN affiliate Web site OUInsider.com on the latest surrounding his recruitment. "Talking to Coach Stoops, Coach Heupel and Coach Wilson and all those guys, I have an opportunity to be the man if I commit there," he said. "That is what I want in a school. I want a chance to compete for a starting spot. I don't want anything given to me, because I feel if something is given to you then people won't take you as seriously as if you earned it." "Oklahoma, North Carolina, Auburn, Mississippi State, Baylor and Arizona," said Newton when asked which schools were still in contention. "But out of those schools, especially with this weekend being as good as it was, Oklahoma is right there in the race. Coach (Bob) Stoops has an excellent coaching staff there, good guys on the team, good personnel and the recruiting class that is coming in is an eye-opener nationally." "I have had a lot of universities give me a call, but Oklahoma, Mississippi State, North Carolina and Auburn are the top tier of schools in the running right now." There! That should end all the speculation. Quote Link to comment

MadcatNU Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Strange to me that OU is pushing for a JUCO QB. I thought Landry Jones showed some good potential. Quote Link to comment
HuskerBruin Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Strange to me that OU is pushing for a JUCO QB. I thought Landry Jones showed some good potential. Landry was very inconsistent over the course of the season. I know a ton of Sooner fans who don't have a lot of confidence in him. I'm sure Stoops wants to introduce some competition by bringing in someone to push Landry. Personally, I don't know if Newton will be able to do that. Quote Link to comment
HuckFoley Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 sign that QB up Quote Link to comment
papio2chi Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Cameron Newton has told Rivals.com's Jeremy Crabtree that he will officially visit Auburn this weekend. Sources have said that UNC and Kansas State will not get visits. Supposedly Mississippi State leads Oklahoma for Newton. Quote Link to comment
caveman99 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I think his announcement of a Top 5 is hilarious because KSU fans were all over other NU boards talking smack about being better than NU once Cam arrived at Manhattan. Absolutely hilarious stuff. I think will check out some KSU boards today to see the fall out of this announcement. Quote Link to comment

Absolutely hilarious stuff. I think will check out some KSU boards today to see the fall out of this announcement. I think that I will do the same Cave. But anyways. Im glad to see a kid get a second chance. He made a mistake once and schools around are willing to give him another shot. I hope he makes the most of it. Quote Link to comment
HuskerBruin Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Sounds like he's a heavy lean toward Mississippi St. Crabtree predicts he'll eventually commit there. I'm not sure how good he really is, but I would be happy if he didn't land in the Big 12, just in case. Quote Link to comment
SECHusker Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Said to decide on Dec. 22 between: Mississippi State Oklahoma Auburn North Carolina Kansas State Quote Link to comment
caveman99 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Said to decide on Dec. 22 between: Mississippi State Oklahoma Auburn North Carolina Kansas State OUInsider quoted him as saying that Arizona and not KSU was in his top 5 with the other 2, quote is listed in a previous post above. Even KSU fans seem convinced on their boards that they aren't getting him. Quote Link to comment
illnino Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 This guy is a character nightmare! No way do we need this kind of baggage, I don't give a damn how good he is. I know he was busted stealing while he was at Florida, but what's to say he hasn't turned his life around? Is there something you know that we don't? Quote Link to comment
Nexus Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Newton expected to announce his commit on Dec. 31st. http://blogs.clarionledger.com/msu/2009/12...oining-the-fun/ Quote Link to comment
HSKRNOKC Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 OU fans are real confident. Folks on their board are calling it a lock. Quote Link to comment
