our new top-10 QB recruit, Morgan Newton, is currently playing on ESPN, a ESPN high school football special. I'm hopin to get a good look at him!

The announcers said he has 4.5 speed, but he seems slower than that to me. Has a rocket for an arm and seems to have a good field presence (checking off receivers, evading the rush, etc)

My friend lives in Carmel, she says it's BRUTALLY hot out there. That is probably taking away some of his speed....esp as those pads get full of sweat and get heavier.

Probably has a lot to do with it. He is definitely a great athlete and a great UK get. Go Big Blue!

Newton has 2 TD's passing, 2 rushing (91 yards), Carmel leads 28-21 with the ball and 5:31 left in game.

Bad idea to play a HS FB game on a Saturday at noon in August in Indianapolis. Not fair to either team or the fans.

Carmel wins!28-21. Morgan Newton 201 yards passing, 92 rushing, all 4 TD's. Suffered from cramps as did several players. Morgan's dad wearing UK cap and recruiting Delaware receiver Justin Brown while being interviewed. Better athlete than Woodson according to announcer. I may have missed some but counted 11 UK mentions.

Lol there were 11 mentions in the promo and first quarter!

I loved it!!!!

If we can get that WR from Delaware, and add them to these two QBs, plus the two brothers from Louisiana....we're building a rock-solid foundation here!

If Hartline does well - they both get redshirted!
