An Interview with Jay Guy

Submitted by RonVH on
Hi everyone, my name is Ron and you may recognize my last name. But I am NOT in any way related to Tom. I just thought it would be clever to use his VH moniker. I live in Texas and work as a trainer for a lot of the local players. I recently found this site and would like to contribute in any way that I can. So without further ado, here is an interview with Jay Guy, a defensive tackle prospect out of Eisenhower TX. He is listed as 6-0 and 315, a little bit on the short side but plenty of substance. Ron: So Jay, how is everything going as you prepare for your senior season? Jay: It's going good. I've been hitting the weight room to get bigger. Coach also wanted me to get faster. Ron: I see that Michigan is on your list of schools to consider. Tell me about how you became interested in them, and some of the other schools on your list right now. Jay: Michigan has great tradition. I've been watching them since I was a kid. I've talked with Coach Rodriguez and he seems like a real cool down to earth kind of guy. I'm excited to visit Ann Arbor and show everyone what I can do. I'm also considering LSU, Oklahoma, and Texas right now. I really like Texas, but haven't received an offer. Ron: Recently there seems to be a lot of kids who get home sick and transfer. Would you be okay with leaving Texas and going somewhere else that might be colder and far from home? Jay: I mean, Texas is great and I love it here. But I'd have no problems going somewhere else. It's like, when you in the NFL, you have to be traveling all the time. So it's something I wouldn't mind getting adjusted to. Ron: Is early playing time a factor for you? Jay: Yeah, I'd like to see the field early. A lot of coaches have been telling them I can come in and compete right away. Ron: What're you most excited about this next year? Jay: Just the chance to visit all these different schools. I want to get accustomed to being away from home and just take in everything. Ron: Have you been talking with any other recruits, and has anyone been persuading you to go anywhere? Jay: Not really, I'd really like to meet some of the other recruits to see what they have to say about some of the schools I'm considering. Ron: Is there any schools you grew up rooting against? Jay: No, but I love to watch rivalry games, especially Michigan/Ohio State, and Oklahoma/Texas. Ron: What is your biggest asset? Jay: My will to work hard. I'm in the weight room everyday, and I just want to maximize my potential. Ron: When do you think you'll make a decision? Jay: Not until this fall, I want to take it all in. Ron: Has anyone been in your ear about where to go to school? Jay: Nah, but there's always people wanting me to stay home. But I don't listen to that too much. Ron: Thanks man.

yeah, this is a nice piece. There doesn't seem to be too many Texas recruits interested in Michigan this year though. Anyways, thanks for the interview. Good to know there's news happening on the DT front.

I dont know why someone would do a fake interview and then make it not funny (and not attempt to do so) or without having shock value (e.g. give false info re his status). Unless the comedy is so subtle that I am not seeing it, this is probably legit. That of course begs the question - who is this guy. The interviewer does not have any credibility at this point unlike his namesake TomVH. If he wants to be taken seriously, he should not use the VH moniker and should give a little more background on how the interview came about and his background. He forgets that before Tom and his work was widely known on here, Tom was introduced as the MGoblog intern.

first off this has nothing to do with liberalism/conservatism. It's just like WLA to start something. How are you going to say he isn't real? And if he isn't, why do you care?

I guess that was the "brilliance" of it. Dont put anything funny or shocking in a mock interview, and make it seem realistic. Trying to work over M fans and not even getting their hopes up. Impeccably timed as well given that Guy just committed to Cal.
