Slow Thursday News and Notes

• Kevin Newsome has trouble with commitment: We all remember Kevin Newsome, the 5 star QB that attended Michigan's Spring Game last year and quickly committed saying that Michigan was a the perfect mix of athletics and academics. Well, things have changed since then: He loses his 5th star due to poor throwing mechanics during the summer elite QB camps. Then Kevin decides to leave his high school Western Branch and transfer to Hargrave Military. Next he decides to de-commit from the Wolverines and re-open up the recruiting process. Now comes word he is leaving Hargrave Military for Churchland so he can enroll early at the college of his choice. He says he final list is Virginia Tech, Penn State, Ohio State and Boston College. Can anyone tell me how you can transfer High Schools in December and think you will be enrolling at college in January? Quick Prediction: Whichever college Kevin picks, look for him to transfer within two years (like he is going to sit behind Pryor for two-three years?). That Tate Forcier pick up is looking pretty good right now.
• Ohio State QB Sneak Killer and redshirt sophomore qurterback Pat Devlin has left Penn State and plans on transferring to Division 1AA school, so he can play right away.
• Latest rumor is that LSU is looking to hire former Syracuse coach Greg Robinson as it's defensive coordinator.
• From reports it looks like Skip Hotz has an offer from Syracuse and trying to make a decision to take the job or stay at East Carolina.
• Brady Hoke is very interested in the Auburn job and has interviewed with them. It sounds like Auburn is going in another direction.
• 2009 Tight End and Basketball prospect Dion Simms has eliminated Michigan from his list of schools. This is not a big loss for the Wolverines since Dion is not committed to playing football in college and prefers basketball.
• Michigan official visitors for this weekend include: Taylor Lewan, OT from Scottsdale, NC CB Josh Hunter (North Carolina Commit), FL S/LB Commit Mike Jones, and FL K Commit Brendan Gibbons.
• William Campbell is retaking his ACT this weekend, which could put his early entry into jeopardy.
