Too me, that sounds like 2 things.
A. His father is riding the my-son-will-make-me-rich train
and
B. OU
But you don't exactly get on the job training there, and he will get overlooked on his passing ability being at OU. I'm not sure if his dad doesn't get that, or if someone is feeding him lies.

No grilling, I've read the same thing
The more I've read what his dad has said, the more I'm of the opinion his dad is an idiot quite honestly. Far too much I I I and Me Me Me in what he says instead of "Whats best for Cam."
As far as working on passing, thats kinda why I think he's gonna come to MSU. He knows CDM has a history of mentoring QBs and we have a big enough stable of good running backs (and another dual threat QB that I hope they make a RB) that Newton can focus on building his passing game and decision making skills.
Between RS FR Montrel Connor, JuCo signee Vick Ballard and Jr. Robert Elliot plus Chris Relf if converted, we should have plenty of rushing options without having to depend on Newton.
All that and virtually guaranteed, he will start should he come here. Tyler Russell, our blue chip QB that red shirted this year is supposed to be an awesome natural talent but word is he needs another year or so to build his size and get his feet wet on the college level.
