Via Tom, obvs.

There was some confusion lately on how these interviews are conducted, so: Tom uses a phone, with which he calls the recruits. Then he writes down what they said. 

If there's a 2010 recruit with bloodlines better than Canton McKinley linebacker Jewone Snow, he's yet to show himself. Snow, a run-stopping middle linebacker, is the son of former Wolverine Garland Rivers and the nephew of former Spartans Eric and Percy Snow. The younger Snow is fielding interest and offers from all around the Midwest and plans to visit Michigan this weekend. Tom VanHaaren got the latest.

TOM: Are you going to make it up to Michigan for the BBQ, or a different date?

JEWONE: Yea, I'll be up next Saturday for the BBQ.

TOM: What are you looking forward to seeing up there?

JEWONE: I just want to visit the campus again. I went to the Spring Game, and ever since, I've just wanted to come back.

TOM: Is anyone coming with you, or are you friends with any other players going?

JEWONE: I'm not sure yet. I might bring some people, but I'm friends with [2011 DE] Steve Miller and Bryce Wilder.

TOM: How many times have the coaches came to see you so far?

JEWONE: There's been multiple coaches all over. Tennessee's coach came last week, other coaches visit almost every day. Bruce Tall came once or twice so far.

TOM: You've got a pretty healthy offer list, who else are you expecting offers from?

JEWONE: Possibly the rest of the Big Ten, Stanford, Duke, South Carolina, and Tennessee. I've been hearing from them, and I've even heard from Alabama.

TOM: Are there any schools you're hoping to get an offer from?

JEWONE: Those schools we've talked about, because I want to weigh all my options. So we'll see.

TOM: You play inside linebacker now, what are most schools recruiting you for?

JEWONE: Every school is recruiting me as a linebacker. I was told that Ohio State might be recruiting me as a fullback, but I'm not really sure.

TOM: What do you want to play?

JEWONE: I like to play linebacker, whether it's inside or outside. That's where I'm comfortable.

TOM: Your dad was a great player at Michigan, and your uncles played basketball at Michigan State. How has that factored in to this?

JEWONE: Surprisingly, they just want me to go where's best for me. They don't really mind which school I pick. I haven't really asked them anything though. My dad said that back then it was boring, but when we went back up there he saw all the new stuff, he was glad to be back there. He wished they had all that stuff when he was there. We both loved it. All the facilities at every school are great, but Michigan's campus and the Stadium was what caught my eye the most. One of my best friends is Jerald Robinson, and I'm cool with JT Turner too. Jerald's trying to convince me, he's doing a lot of recruiting for the coaches. He told the coaches a lot about me.

TOM: Have you gotten a chance to speak with Greg Robinson?

JEWONE: Yea when I went up there, I talked to him twice. I also talked to Jay Hopkins too. They said that at meetings they talk about me everyday, which feels good. We talked to Coach Carr, and he coached my dad when he played. He was saying that he wished they'd offered now. The linebacker coach was talking to me the whole visit, so I felt like they were really interested.

TOM: So, have you narrowed your list down at all yet? Who's near the top?

JEWONE: I'm still weighing it out, but I have an idea of where they're at. My top 5 is Michigan, Michigan State, West Virginia, Cincinnati, and Tennessee so far.

TOM: When do you want to decide?

JEWONE: I'll just go with the flow, and take my time. I'm an Ohio State young scholar, so I have an academic scholarship there if nothing else works out.

TOM: If you take a visit, and you feel it's right, will you end it, or are you going to stay patient?

JEWONE: I'm not really sure.It just depends, for all I know that could happen. I can't really answer that, because it would just depend on the situation.
