Safety Winston Guy talks commitment

[The Recruiting Guy]

Winston is 6'2 185 with 4.35 speed from Lexington Catholic HS, Lexington Kentucky. Here's what Winston had to say about his commitment.


TRG: Why Arkansas?

Winston: I really like everything down there and I've got a really good relationship with Coach Chris Vaughn and Coach Houston Nutt, Coach Herring. They're really pumped up guys. I feel like Coach Houston Nutt is a player's coach and I can really relate to him a lot. I have a good relationship with De'Anthony Curtis, I talked to him a couple of days ago about a lot of stuff. My parents really feel comfortbale about the decision I made. They're 110% behind my decision. My mom and dad main concern was about my education and Coach Houston Nutt said I would have a great education if I came to Arkansas. That was a major point with me because without a education you can't provide for yourself. I like Arkansas a lot and I loved the recruiting process it was a lot of fun. I feel like Arkansas is the place to go after my Senior season.

TRG: What were your other offers?

Winston: Kentucky, Minnesota, Cincinnati, Middle Tennessee and Akron.

TRG: Your mom and dad came with you to Sr. camp. Tell me some of their thoughts about Arkansas.

Winston: They really liked the facilities and everything a lot. My mom and dad really liked Coach Vaughn and Coach Nutt because they came in with in with real talk and they really respected them for that. Their thing again was about the good education I would get if I came to the University of Arkansas. That was the main thing they were concerned about and second came football. When they talked to the Kentucky coach Rich Brooks, they had kinda a different perspective about how Coach Brooks came to my them and talked. They really like the coaches a lot. My dad likes Coach Herring his fired up style of coaching.

TRG: Arkansas recruited you as a FS. What's their expections of you?

Winston: All coaches expect the players to come in and work hard and try and earn a spot as a freshman and that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to come in and work as hard as possible and do everything the coaches tell me to do no matter what postion I play. I'm going to be coachable. 


Another good pickup for the Razorbacks. We plan to have Winston on Sports Rap this Thursday.

His mom and dad are some great people. His dad is very old school and that's why he likes Herring so much.

Quite a few of these kids seem to be good kids with good heads on their shoulders.

Another well spoken recruit that gives in-depth answers.  I really like this guy.  I hope he can use those after burners on the field and save some touchdowns from happening.

Best part of the entire interview in my opinion.  I like the fact he is coming in with an open mind and wants to be coached as well.

[hogsmaster]

Good to hear that he already has an idea of what type of coach Herring is.  The man doesn't promise anything and expects you to give maximum effort. 

[Eric Cartman]

the 07 and 08 class has some promising secondary recruits. alot of 4.4's, gotta love that. no more 4.6's in our secondary.

[flagstaffhog]

Excellent Richard. Glad He's a HOG and glad your still pumping the information to us...

[The Coletrain]
