He is Blue but is he Blue?

As you know from my posts this week Kevin Newsome, the highly rated Dual Threat QB out of DC has been giving hints on his MySpace page. He is wearing a Michigan Sweatshirt and the song he is playing on his site is I'm Blue.

Now comes a rumor from a Buckeye Planet insider saying he committed to Michigan on Monday. That would be great if we could confirm it, but neither Rivals or Scouts is running with the story, so I believe it's just a rumor. We will keep our fingers crossed that it's true or will be true at some point.

From Super Prep: Another coach that has piqued Newsome's interest is new Michigan head coach Rich Rodriguez.

"He's a great coach," he said. "I love the tradition at Michigan. It's Michigan! I think he'll be very successful there. Just look at what he was able to do at West Virginia. That's really impressive." Newsome says that the Wolverines are currently recruiting him the hardest. "Everywhere I look around my house I see a big "M", he said. "They definitely send me the most mail".

There is also an email from Tate Forcier on Kevin's site talking about both of them going to Michigan and doing the Tebow - Leak thing. Bring it on, but I bet if Kevin comes to Michigan, Tate would look somewhere else for playing time.

Aye bro! How sick would it be if we both went to Michigan? We could do like the florida thing with tebow an Chris Leak... Cuz dude if we both go there we could do some serious damage.

• Mike Hart told a radio host that he believes he will go in the Third Round on Saturday:

"Obviously the big question with me coming out is my size and my speed," said Hart, who finished as Michigan's all-time leading rusher. "I'll probably go in the third round (of the NFL draft). I don't think I'll get into the second.

• Reports are that Rich Rodriguez contacted Michigan first. I really don't care who called who, just happy that he is in Ann Arbor.
• A couple of Ohio HS recuits pick WVU:

  Choosing the Mountaineers over Ohio State is Steubenville High School standout Branko Busick (6-2, 228). Following a 25-minute meeting with Stewart, Busick gave his word to play for the Mountaineers. Also giving their commitments following the Gold’s 59-15 victory were middle linebacker Chris Snook from Highland High School in Medina, Ohio, and receiver Deon Long from Dunbar High School in Washington, D.C.
