What does the article of Scout talk about? Does he mention UT etc? Say what you want about him, but right now, he's our best bet to challenge for a starting job next season. He's played in the SEC, leading Blinn College to the playoffs (10-1) and avenged only loss to Navarro last week. Has 22 TD's/4INT's, 2,486 yds passing, and completed 61% of his passes. I think he's more thancapable on the field, and has more than likely learned from his off the field issues. It's worth the risk. Just one fans opinion.

Did anyone ever respond with an answer? Scout said he listed a top three anyone have the info? It is a good debate he may indeed provide the best chance for success next year, but I don't think CLK thinks this short term. Think in terms of year three and championships. GO VOLS

I don't want to dwell in 7-5, 6-6 etc for the next couple of years waiting on our "Savior" to come to UT.

Count me as one who finds a lot of irony in a massive thread about Cam Newton.

After constantly harping about wanting to run a cleaner program than UF, where does the desire come from for a guy who was booted from their program for theft?

If the staff doesn't think that Cameron is an upgrade over what we have, then I trust them. Does that mean they could be wrong and he turns AA while we suffer a few more mediocre years? Of course they could. I don't think they are completely sold on him, especially off the field

So let's assume the Tennessee staff has indeed decided to take a pass on Cam Newton. Either they have communicated that to Newton, or they have stopped the flood of phone calls and love letters. Either way, Newton has gotten the message. So why would Newton still list UT as one of three favorites? Holding out hope that Kiffin will change his mind?

I don't think so.

Newton has viable options on the table in Miss St and Kansas St. Both programs are now off of life support this year. Tennessee would provide a better platform to showcase his talent with a better supporting cast. As an EE, Cam would be moving on already to KSU/MSU if there was no interest from UT.

There must be some interest from UT remaining, even if it is tenous. Otherwise, UT would let him save face and let Cam say he dropped UT from consideration and was down to KSU and MSU.

No Blinn game this weekend. Maybe a surprise visitor in store for the Vandy game?

Didn't know that. Damn, that would be nice if he showed up and got emersed in the Orange kool-aide, get offered and sign before he left.

Actually, Miss.St. and KSU hav already offerred. He needs no leverage. He is in contact with Reaves regularly IIRC. He has no offer. I do not know what the deal is but am recalling this from past interviews that were published. All I know is people on here who are right a lot of the time although not always think we have passed.

I'm talking about offers from other schools. I know those two have offered. I think we may just be keeping him at an arm's length just in case. The problem is that it isn't as necessary to pull 2 QBs as we first thought. Combine that with the fact that we just lost two DBs and that extra scholly may go to a safety rather than another QB.

We only have a few weeks to offer and it isn't likely he's guaranteed to jump at an offer from us over one from MSU since that offense is set up just for him.

Sure, it's not guaranteed. But then you have to ask yourself why hasn't he gone ahead and gotten it over with and cast his lot with Mullen? Is it just that he has not yet been to Starkville? There has to be an attraction to the elevated talent level at UT and the pro-style offense readying him for the next level.

If he likes Brenham, TX, he'll love Starkville. :blink:
