Carmel QB commits to Kentucky

Like a good quarterback and an educator's son, Morgan Newton did his homework when it came to making a college decision. The Carmel High School standout knows what kind of impact Kentucky quarterbacks coach Randy Sanders has on his pupils. Sanders was one of the factors in Newton's announcement Thursday that he plans to sign with Kentucky. The earliest current seniors can sign a national letter of intent is Feb. 4, 2009. The 6-4, 215-pound Newton was familiar with the connection that Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning had with Sanders when both were at the University of Tennessee.

Sticking to your commitment for high school guys these days is like sticking to one stripper at the club, it just ain't gonna happen....

Interesting to see UK get someone from Indiana. Strong recruiting in Indiana, Ohio and surrounding states could be Kentucky's ticket back. Makes sense. Good for UK - nice people there.

Word. It's hard to stick to one stripper. Especially right after I just got paid.

Congrats to UK... This is a program I would love to see rise in the SEC EAST. They had an amazing '07 and need to rebuild a little but I think they have a good furture ahead. With the two Miss teams rising in the WEST, UK turning it around is great for the SEC. We just need Vandy to see the light. Well they have had some moments over the past few years.

When Jared Lorenzen heard the news that his former school was getting some top talent, he celebrated by eating a Buick.

He verbally committed, will he stick with it? Not sure, hopefully he will though, he'd jumpstart that team's recruiting I think. Isn't he one of the best High School QB's in the nation?
