2009 U.S. Army All-American Bowl Game
I figured I would start a thread on this, should be tons of interest in this game with some awesome prospects for many teams. PSU will have QB Kevin Newsome and OT Eric Shrive representing PSU.
Other posters can feel free to include free/premium articles from either site because I'll probably miss a bunch.
----------
The game is January 3rd, 1:00 P.M. (ET?) on NBC.
Welcome to the US Army All-American Bowl

Apparently, Shrive is not doing any (public) recruiting in San Antonio.
But...New New is...

HAH...I don't realie what I've gotten myself into with this thread - I forget how hectic the Army AA game can be....it is almost impossible to follow the updates, links/stories and talk on the Scout national board.
This link should lead to most of the stories (most are probably $) and will likely be updated as things move along, I see a bunch of stuff from Tuesday already up : Scout.com: Live! From the U.S. Army All-American Bowl
Good times for PSU fans though, I may DVR or record the Army AA game...looking for good performances from Eric and Kevin in the game...and I hope (obviously) Kevin Newsome is successful with his recruiting effort..
When you think of the links to guys like Eric Shrive, Curtis Drake and now Kevin Newsome, and the good reports when this recruit was on campus and met Joe prior to his senior year - it is kind of surprising how his recruitment has gone.

Do you have any idea which kids there Newsome could be working on that Penn State is also recruiting? I took a look at the roster and didn't see any kids who got offered who aren't committed elsewhere like LaLota, Stockton, Stokes etc. |

BlueWhiteIllustrated.com - Notebook: East team jells with full squad
Quote:
SAN ANTONIO – Kevin Newsome looked right, left and then right again before firing the ball downfield to Bryce Brown for a 40-yard touchdown pass on the first play of 7-on-7 drills at Tuesday's East practice here at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
Newsome, a Penn State commit, was not bad Monday, but he was much more productive on the second day as the quarterbacks got more comfortable with the receivers and had a better grasp of the offense.
"He picked it up," East coach Terry Smith said. "For these quarterbacks it's hard because the terminology is different from where they're from and then they're getting used to blazing receivers.
"All the quarterbacks said to me, 'Coach, this game is so much faster here. Where we're from we might have one, two, maybe three good guys.' Everyone here, there are no weak links. You have to adjust to the speed and then get accustomed to how each guy runs their routes. They just don't know all the different receivers."
The Chatham (Va.) Hargrave Military Academy standout was a threat both days running and throwing the ball, but he was more consistent in the passing game Tuesday.
Rivals.com rates Newsome as the fourth-best dual-threat quarterback behind LSU commit Russell Shepard, Tyrik Rollison and Tajh Boyd. Rollison and Boyd are also in the Army game.
During team drills, Newsome broke a big run that would have gone for a touchdown if the play wasn't called dead. He threw his second touchdown pass in 7-on-7s to Michigan commit Jeremy Gallon, who had another solid showing.
"It was the second day that I was able to hang out with the guys and begin to learn more about them," Newsome said. "I got to not only talk to them more but learn their speed, their timing and their cuts on different pass patterns. It was all good. I think I had a good day yesterday and today.
"We're All-Americans so we want to be the best at whatever we do, so all the quarterbacks are competing for the starting spot. We're all going to get to play and the eye in the sky doesn't lie. We'll see what happens when it gets to game time."
Newsome, Boyd and Rutgers commit Tom Savage looked much sharper during the second day of practice. Georgia commit Aaron Murray, who was the best quarterback on Day One, struggled at times. Boyd's nicest throw came during one-on-1 drills when he hit Gallon for a touchdown. Savage hit Gallon for a wide-open TD late in team drills.
