Cameron Newton commits
Hey everyone. The recruiting czars -- AuburnUndercover.com, AuburnSports.com and Inside The Auburn Tigers -- are reporting that quarterback Cameron Newton has committed to play with the Tigers beginning next week.
He is, according to Rivals.com, the nation's No. 1 junior-college prospect.
Newton chose Auburn over Mississippi State and Oklahoma.
He signed with Florida in 2007 out of an Atlanta high school. He was arrested in November 2008 for grand theft and larceny for allegedly stealing a student's laptop computer. Urban Meyer suspended Newton and the quarterback soon landed at Blinn (Texas) College, which recently won the junior college national championship.
In a telling demonstration of what former Florida staffers thought of him, head coaches Dan Mullen (Mississippi State) and Charlie Strong (Louisville) have pursued him during the past few months. Both coaches were UF assistants during Newton's days in Gainesville.
The Florida State Attorney's Office recently dropped the charges after Newton successfully completed a pre-trial intervention program.
Newton stands 6-foot-6 and weighs 235 pounds. He was an option quarterback in high school and is considered an advanced runner. He threw for 2,800 yards at Blinn last season, though observers said his mechanics will need significant refinement.

Great news!
Substance from Kathy, and JGT!
Good work, both of you!
I always feel better when JGT tweets it!
If JG says it, you know it's true.
Stars shine bright...
I'd love to pick up a big commit on TV during the Under Armour AA game on Saturday.... Regardless, AU should get plenty of publicity in the game.
War Eagle!!! We are ballin, baby!!!
Now it is going to be a Happy New Year....ok it is anyway but what exciting news!!!!
Dusty, Dyer said he's using this game to recruit!
The guys in the booth have to be talking about it tomorrow, and that should be good for any leaners that are watching.
I believe
So is Ladarius Owens, and Goodwin, and Reed, and Mosely...
Let's not go overboard. This could be huge or he could fizzle.
His numbers look very Tebowesque though.
Any news regarding Ziemba going pro? Next year could be pretty interesting.
What a nice New Years present. Now if he can just walk on water we'll be alright.
I'm so glad we didn't wast those 2009 scholarships.
I mean "waste".
Mother of all Woots!
Staying another year could really help Ziemba in the draft. Of course there's always the risk of injury. I don't envy him making the choice.
Ziemba should stay... and I think he knows he should stay.
Jay, will Isom play tomorrow?
By the way folks, a commit from people like Newton, Dyer, or Reed means more than just what they end up doing on the field. They raise eyebrows. It has to catch the attention of other high profile recruits.
Did CM stay out of the doghouse while in JC?
Until Z man can go a whole game without a penalty I think it would not be wise for him to try to jump to The League
Kathy, from what I have read he didn't get in any trouble in Juco.
So true Girly Dad.
From everything I have heard, Kathy, CN was a model student while at Blinn....
(We're not getting a Ryan Perriloux type nutcase, IMO).
Good to hear Steve. I hope he has learned his lesson.
Navy fixn to take it in again.
Ziemba could likely be a second or third round pick in the draft, but he would definitely raise his stock if he hung around another season. I don't know how much better we will be, but I am certain we will be better next season.
Thanks Dusty. I hope what his dad says is true.
Now if Tyrik can straighten up.
You do realize that LZ went 7 or 8 straight games in the middle of the season this year without a penalty of any kind (false start, holding or otherwise)??
Good question Kathy. His past does give a little pause, but if he's a baller who cares? (Just kidding) We are the Auburn family and all and we do only recruit a certain type of kid.
YES!!!
I didn't think Z had that many penalties this year. I would hate to lose him.
I don't recall 7-8 games for LZ, maybe 1-2. If so, I'm man enough to say, " I'm wrong, Sorry LZ".
If Ziemba looks like second or third round, he should go. Linemen tend to have short careers.
Mullen was recruiting him, and I figure he knew the whole story regarding the laptop. Kids do stupid stuff. Most of them learn from it. I think he realizes he was given a great opportunity, and I think Chizik will keep him on a short leash.
If CN hadn't screwed up, he'd probably be Tebow's successor. Hopefully losing that taught him a lesson.
He gets a second chance and doesn't have enormous shoes to fill.
I don't think Ziemba should go. I have seen players projected as third rounders that end up undrafted.
Good point Kathy, Mullen did know the inside story and still went after him. Must have felt pretty good with the situation.
I think I read that Ziemba could possibly be an early round draftee.
This Stanford/chOklahoma game is a good one.
Stanford/OU game has been a good one.
I agree Dusty!
4th and 2 for Stanford.
So what will Gus do with a QB that can run? Cam averaged 6.1 a carry and had 16 rushing TDs. Admittedly, it was against JCs, but that's still impressive.
I didn't know Charlie Strong was also pursuing Newton.
That was a great job by the Stanford QB to get rid of the ball, but what an ugly play.
Can anyone remember Auburn ever having a recruiting class like this? I know that the 2006 and 2007 classes were very good, but I don't think they were this good.
OU is going to win this game.
Mizou trying to make a game of it. Navy flubbed a 4th and short inside the 5. Mizzou took it the length of the field and got sacked on 3rd and goal. They'll likely try a field goal to start the 4th qtr.
Who said you can't recruit these type of players to Auburn? Never mind.......
"Newton stands 6-foot-6 and weighs 235 pounds."
That statement alone excites me!
Jay, I thought Newton was 245, not 235.
Folks, I was very impressed when we got Trovon Reed. Getting Newton is simply incredible.
I think he's a bit thinner.
War Cam Eagle!
If it's that important to you, SteveFC, just pretend that he's 5.2% bigger than I said.
Thanks.
You've got to like the size on the JuCo recruits. Curry is the smallest at 6'2" 215.
Sorry. Make that 4.1%.
Jessel Curry is from a Georgia high school.
It's the holidays and he's not playing, he could be 255 at this moment.
Gayden's size is unbelievable! 6-7 310
Sorry, I was just looking the ones that have signed. I guess a couple of them are early graduating seniors.
Anybody heard anything on Adams?
I am so excited!! I just hooked up my new surround sound....who needs Tampa when I got the den!
Kathy, don't be surprised if we back off Adams now, unless we use a spot next yr.
Let's hope Lattimore takes notice. From Rivals:
Should have a similar impact to Knowshon Moreno and Carnell Williams in two years. Will be able to wear defenses down, and help run time off the clock in the fourth quarter.
We could use another Caddy.
AU1, there's nothing like surround sound and High Def. Who needs a theatre. (Except for Avatar, See it in IMAX 3D if you can. AUsome.)
NoVa... that is referring to the instant impact that Caddy had... not his style.
Lattimore is more in the mold of Ronnie Brown... style-wise.
Shoot, forgot to switch for Navy!
It's awesome! I linked a wireless subwoofer and I am just loving the drums!
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WAR. DAMN. EAGLE. BABY!!!!!!!!!
I'll take a Ronnie Brown...
AU1, play a DVD with good sound. I recommend the pod race from Phantom Menace. It will blow you away.
There was a movie called the Shadow from years ago that has some excellent surround sound.
WOW This staff is doing phenomenal with this class it has every single piece you need for this offense, very very very impressive...I think it ends up a top 5 class
I wonder what Eddie thinks of the QB situation now. Rollison and Moseley both seemed to have a shot, but I would guess Newton is the clear favorite now.
TD coming!
Navy has dropped an anchor on Mizzou.
Navy just scored again. This game is over.
I like Jet's description better.
Man, I am stinking at bowl pickem. I think I will turn to predicting pro wrestling matches.
WONDERFUL!!!!!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR HOTTIES!
Now lets all get behind Paul Rhodes and those mighty Iowa State Cyclones!!!
funny SFC, i was thinking about the 'Rollison Express' earlier today. hmmm.... competition can't help but make him better, eh?
TERRY
BEASLEY!!!!!!
back-to-back Beasley posts! what a way to send 2009 out in style!
This comment has been removed by the author.
Yea, I wouldn't count Rollison out. He has talent. He might not be the starter next season, but it will be very interesting to see who is the number 2. I am betting that our second string QB will get more playing time in 2010. I think the coaches will have a bit more faith in them.
sorry, that was my delete. i double-posted. internet at my in-laws is not so good.
Let's see, the choices for QB are 2 redshirt freshmen, a perennial backup, a wideout, Trotter or Cam.
Trotter and Caudle couldn't beat out Todd. The freshmen have no experience. The wideout will remain a wideout. I think it's Cam's to lose. He obviously does too or he wouldn't have signed.
Anyone know what channel the Insight Bowl is on?
Nova, we didn't have anyone that was even close to Todd.
Rollison and Mosely will still have 2 years when Newton leaves. I hope they will gain experience while waiting.
I'm all for them competing for the job now. It's good for all. I just think there is a very likely outcome to that competition.
You don't sign JUCOs for the sideline.
My bowl pickem sucks
JayG. Not that I follow recruiting, or this blog, can you find out of Ath Shaun Kitchens is enrolling in January?
ISU is on the NFL network on my Knology cable in Madison, AL.
Now Navy is taking that anchor and beating Mizzou over the head with it.
Navy is good... and very well coached!!
Minn up 3-0 after 1 quarter, but ISU has been moving the ball.
i thought it was weird that that bowl game was on the NFL network.
Aero... have you heard (or read somewhere) that Kitchens was enrolling early?
The channel is free on my digital cable, but the picture is not HD.
ok, off to eat homemade philly cheese steaks before the kickoff of the UT game. yummy for me tummy!
oh, so is PF a married man at this point? not sure when that kickoff started?
Get FiOS. Something like 120 free HD channels.
Congrats PF where ever you are!
If he's reading this, he's going to be in trouble.
Time Warner doesn't have that NFL Network!!! Argh!!! I was afraid of that.
Jet, I do believe you are correct about not setting a JUCO. I am sure Malzahn wouldn't guarantee him the job, but I bet he told him the thought he would be the likely starter.
Newton only has two years left, so I am pretty sure he came to Auburn because he felt he had a very good chance of being the starter.
To me, this pretty much seals Neil Caudle, Kodi Burns, and Trotter's fate. I can't see them competing with Newton, Moseley, and Rollison.
Happy New Year everyone. CN commit should help bring in a few more stars. Heading out to a party (wife's idea). There's no place like home, especially tonight.
Be safe everyone.
Okay, we are done with QB recruiting. What position is the most critical now? DB? DT? OL? Another RB would be great, but I don't consider it critical.
Air Force and Navy are both basically running the Paul Johnson option offense. I have seen it referred to as the fly, jet, or wingbone. Some think it is the next big thing in offenses. After today, it is hard to argue.
Steve, I would like to see us get Eric Mack! Also Lattimore! Both from SC.
I agree with Jet too. You sign someone with only 2 years because you need immediate help. The gap in talent and experience in this case is huge.
How is Gus at coaching passing mechanics?
Steve, IMO... DT.
I'd like to sign 2 big uglies for the middle of the DL...1 more edge rusher, another mail toter, and an OL.
I think that would get us square.
DT, DT, and DT is what else we need.
Also some DB's, but I'd love some more DT's. You can never have enough.
Never.
D Miller, I would like a DT if he is a real playmaker. I think what we have now are solid players, but they aren't Marks or Sims. We could really use someone that forced double teams.
Because of Nosa Eguae, I am not too concerned about DE. From what I read, Eguae is going to be a playmaker.
Eric Mack would be wonderful and I am getting a good feeling about him.
Should we get Lattimore or Seastrunk, I may soil myself.
I'm happy that we got Newton and all, but to be honest, I just look at him as one more guy competing for the starting job next spring.
If Rollison makes it back by Spring, there's five guys as far as I'm concerned. Not just one.
Newton's gonna have to prove himself. Juco QB's worry me.
Just sayin'.
I am a big believer that QBs need experience, which is why I think Newton is the clear favorite. Kodi has a lot of experience and Caudle has some, but they have never looked like a solid choice.
Rollison and Moseley seem like the two with the best shot of competing with Newton, but I still think there is a better than 50% chance that Newton is the guy.
I can't help it. Every time I see Kiffikin on TV I go, "This guy is an SEC head coach? Really? Really?"
I normally root for the SEC in bowls, but in this case:
1. I HATE UT.
2. Kiffin (self explanatory).
3. Tech is one of my schools.
UT is going DOWN.

New Year's Eve edition of DYK?
According to the Chinese/Zodiac Calendar
2010 is the Year of the Tiger!
War Eagle & Happy New Year!
2010, the year of the Tiger! I like it.
Steve, PJ's option seems to be up and down to me. It will look unstoppable for several weeks then completely fall apart the next. I think it may be something a good DC with the right players can figure out. Then again I guess CWM proved the same about UF's offense.
The Pac 10 is looking pretty bad this bowl season.
Weaker than usual?
I haven't been keeping track.
Oregon St who almost went to the Rose Bowl got demolished by BYU, which is a good team so its not sooo embarrassing BUT, Arizona who was also was in the running for the Rose Bowl got HUMILIATED by Nebraska, and Stanford lost to a struggling Sooners team.
The storyline all year long was a supposedly rejuvenated pac 10 that was second only to the SEC... and apparently the Big 12, and MWC.
JayGT - I thought Cam Newton was 235 1/4 lbs?
But maybe the weight I saw listed was after a trip to McDonald's to celebrate his commitment to AU.
Every year the press loves the Pac 10 and says how great they are. Every year it is shown otherwise in the bowls with the exception of USC. This year even USC is down.
I'm not going against SFC's QB picks again.
Last summer he said a healthy Chris Todd would get the #1 job in the fall, and I scoffed mightily. IIRC, so did almost every other HOTTIE.
No scoffing for me this time. I think Newton may now have the inside track. As I heard another AU fan say about Todd back in '08: you don't sign a JUCO QB to ride the bench.
HOTTIE ALERT!
Hotties... We plan on being outside the stadium at 9:30 outside of Entry Ramp C (I think that's the SE corner of the stadium). Come on by & have a meet & greet and maybe someone can take an "Official Hottie Souvenir Photo"
FF, it isn't nearly as clear cut this season. While Newton is the leader in my book, Rollison or Moseley could get in there.
Last season I was very bummed be cause I didn't feel we had a legitimate candidate at QB until Todd healed, but this season we have 3 and possibly 4, which is an amazing turn around.
ISU defeats the Golden Gophers 14-13, thanks to a late fumble recovery deep in Cyclone territory.
Congrats to Paul Rhoads and Co. for the turnaround from 2-10 to 7-6.
Ok, Cam is one of us now. I will pull for him as a player. He still has to win the job, and I'm not counting out Caudle yet.
API, the more I think about Caudle, the more I am convinced he won't be the guy. He has been turned down by at least 3 coordinators and only has one year remaining.
I have considered Moseley the possible surprise starter for a while and recent comments seem to give Trotter more potential than I thought he had. I can't really discount Rollison because of his hype and because Eddie is so high on him. Eddie isn't your typical couch potatoe.
I still think Rollison's major stumbling blocks to success at AU maybe sold off the shelves at J&M.
No inside info, just remember that most schools backed off of him because he seemed such a longshot to qualify.
The pursuit and subsequent signing of Newton leads me to believe that the AU coaches may share my concerns.
The Tennessee defense has regressed since mid year, IMO.
BTW, in honor of tomorrow's game, I have changed my avatar pic to display the Scariest Food In America as designated by the editors of Eat This, Not That: The Outback Steakhouse Aussie Cheese Fries.
2,900 glorious calories, 240 grams of delicious carbs, and 182 grams of tasty fat per serving.
Yum.
FF, that could very well be. Hopefully he is able to get things straightened out. I do remember some comments in here that he is in more trouble than most of us realize. That could be it.
Man, those fries do look good.
Faker, I agree. Virginia Tech has made scoring against Tennessee look pretty easy tonight. I was impressed with the way Tennessee came back and I think Virginia Tech will win this game. I just didn't anticipate Virginia Tech to make moving the ball against Tennessee look so easy.
I was excited b/c I'm having outback for dinner tonight in honor of the Outback bowl, since I can't watch it. But then my friend said they dont have those in the Outback in Korea... poop.
For those of you critical of Roof, check out Jay's article on him. It really shows how limited we have been and that Roof has more in his bag of tricks when he has the personnel to do it.
Holy Smoke!!! Tennessee just dropped a sure six.
First habotn post on my iPod touch! So cool!
Bet you looked cool doing it too.
Wor norm. Word.
Hello, Hotties.
If I am not mistaken, PF is getting married in Jacksonvelle. FL right about now. God be with him and his new spouse.
iPod Touch is very cool. I can't wait to see the iSlate.
Tech put a lock on it and threw away the key.
Now they're just taunting them with the key.
Tennessee is getting beat down...
NoVa...I can't wait to see the iSlate either.
Rumor is that it is going to be announced late next month.
If the rumors are close, Apple will have another hit and another transforming product.
Well, HOTTIEs, time for me to get home before the balls drop.
HAPPY NEW YEAR and hopefully we'll have more to celebrate tomorrow afternoon. . .
WAR EAGLE!
Happy New Year's hotties!!!
Just returned from a New Year's dinner at my sister's house. She and her hubby are bammers. We barely let them in the family. :)
Anyway, halfway thru dinner I heard my phone beep for a text message. It was all I could do not to get up and go check to see if it was news of Cam committing. Sure enough, his commitment came with dessert!
Yup PF is now a married man. Happy 2010 hotties.
I would love to have gone to that wedding - black tie, right up my alley
I can barely keep my eyes open so y'all have a very Happy New Year.
Yeah...Happy New Year Hotties.
Alright, time to button up the house. Presumably, you're all safe tonight since you're doing the same thing I'm doing. Catch you during the game tomorrow.
Aren't y'all staying up to ring in the new year? Surely you can't go to sleep before the calendar turns over?
I feel bad for Crompton. That would have sucked to get drilled and break your collar bone on your last play in college. I'm glad he got up.
I'll ask LZ about next year as soon as the bowl game is over. The last I heard, he is truly a longshot to go pro. He definitely wants to play in the league, his parents think he can make it. With that said, his parents DO NOT think he's ready and are heavily pushing for him to return. They've said it is all up to Lee in the end, and that he will indeed ask for the experts to project him, but I full expect him back as LT next season. As a side note, I'm pretty sure there's no better "inside" info on LZ than what I have...I'd rest easy hotties--unless a team pretty much guarantees him a Day 1 draft position, he'll be back for sure.
Good news "not" Tate.
Kathy,
Have you enjoyed your day of non-stop football? I have gotten to watch a lot, but not one complete game! Had to do mundane things like grocery shopping and to my sister's for dinner.
I'll be watching one complete game tomorrow for sure!
Dang do you think he is wearing enough wristbands?
Happy New Year to all.
Did anyone snatch JG out of the Hard Rock casino today? hopefully he doesn't go bak to wifey all broke and on furlough.
Happy New Years!!! ..It's 11:23pm in the EST and we're going to bed.
We've got folks coming over in the am, so we need the rest.
Will def have the game face on in the am.
Hey gang, I've made it to my hotel finally after grabbing some dinner...just in time to ring in the New Year and pop a crappy $5 bottle of Andre.
Tomorrow morning, Outback Bowl.
THT, I doubt my crew will be there in time for the meet N greet but we'll be there at some point.
Happy New Year!
May 2K10 be Auburn's year.
Yes, Cincy, much to my daughter's chagrin, I have enjoyed my football marathon! We are now playing Mario. More football in the a.m. Hope there are other Hotties on the computer tomorrow during the game.
Happy New Years Hotties!!! I am about to beat most of you to 2010 by an hour. The fireworks are already going off here.
Yup it's 2010 here. Nite all. Big game in 11 hrs
Happy New Year to all the Eastern Time Zone Hotties!
Tune into ESPN if you haven't heard Mike "WTF" Leach whine. ESPN is about to replay it for the 10,463 time.
Happy New Year, kids
Happy New Year! Here's to an AUsome 2010, beginning with a big win tomorrow , or make that later today!
Happy New Year!
To the HOTTIES, may 2010 be muy caliente.
To PF and Bride, many happy years together.
To Jay G ... thanks for all the work, the sacrifice and the patience for dealing with us.
To CincyT ... may the other condo be sold.
To WTC ... may your mother's interest in recruiting somehow make you interested in it, too.
To Cam Newton ... welcome. We're puling for you.
To Norm ... we want that other eye to be ready to go soon.
To Chiz and the Tigers ... go get 'em.
Just got in from the Disney parks. It is 2:00am here. That Walt can sure throw up some fireworks. Best fireworks show i have ever seen, and I have seen A LOT of them. That magic Kingdom was PACKED. They closed the gates at 9:30am this morning. We got there at 8:00am sharp. What a day. Daughter headed to the game friday with friends. I have a meeitng with a client right after the game so i can not go. i will be online to discuss other recruits if anyone is interested.
THT, I hear my Bob Jones High School Marching Band won the parade competition today. I hate you missed it! There's video if you would like to see the highlights.
Here's also a short video of tonight's pep rally:

I wish I was in Tampa.
Happy New Year Hotties and War Eagle!!!
wtc, I'm interested in all recruits all the time!
WTC ...
Hopefully your mom will be there to help guide the discussion.
Kathy ...
Bob Jones has a fabulous band. Saw them somewhere a couple of years ago.
Kathy:
How does this sound?
Lattimore RB
Eric Mack OL
C. Lemonier DE
Bryan Jones OL
Whitaker DL
Maybe K Adams (DE)
I think that will be wrap on the 2010 class.
mom turned the info over to me this week. Even in Olrando, I found a few tidbits that i passed on to some of you on FB.
That would be WONDERFUL wtc. The first two were on the top of my list!
This is going to be a great recruiting class.
wtc, I like your mom!!!
BTW. Turfman is not my mom. I read that the other and thought it was quite funny.
Have a good night and Happy New Year to everyone. I am draggin' now and need to rest for the game.
Tonight on CBS ...
How I Met WTC's Mother
I'm gonna flip it.
Let's do it for Norm.
And all the HOTTIES!
