Creating List object from string

Question

Having an issue creating a List object from a string value. The selectedObject value is coming over as a string value. Trying to convert the string value so that it can be used as the object in a list or a Map

Class

private Sobject selectedStringSobject;
selectedObject = 'CustomObject__c'
selectedStringSobject =Util.getSobjectFromString(selectedObject);
List<selectedStringSobject> newrecords = new List<selectedStringSobject>()

Util

public static SObject getSobjectFromString(String stringObject) {
        Map<String, Schema.SObjectType> obj = Schema.getGlobalDescribe(); 
        Schema.SObjectType so = obj.get(stringObject);
        Sobject newObject = so.newSobject();
        return newObject;
    }

error is : Invalid type: selectedStringSobject

Try this way:

private Sobject selectedStringSobject;
String selectedObject = 'Account';
selectedStringSobject = getSobjectFromString(selectedObject);
List<Sobject> newrecords = new List<Sobject>();//This one should be change I guess
public static SObject getSobjectFromString(String stringObject) {
    Map<String, Schema.SObjectType> obj = Schema.getGlobalDescribe(); 
    Schema.SObjectType so = obj.get(stringObject);
    Sobject newObject = so.newSobject();
    return newObject;
}
