don't know why folks feel the need to follow players on facebook or twitter. It's the recruit's decision to make, not the fans.

Well, as much as the fans shouldn't be doing that, he shouldn't be friending people he doesn't know. If he used the site how it was intended, his recruitment would not have been a living nightmare.

... This is the exact same reason joe mcknight switched to USC over LSU. I also remember being facebook friends with marcus lattimore, everytime he posted something he would get 100 comments from people telling him what school he should go to.

They did a story about this same subject about a year ago. It also mentioned two other high school football players who accepted all their fans friend requests, one was marcus lattimore and the other was devin gardner. Both facebooks have been removed

have not reactivated yet. It really a great not knowing what is going on with everyone at every given moment.
This leads to a broader discussion on how technology impacts our communciation habits. I kinda want to make more of an effort to interact with people on more of a personal level...
Anyway, there is a realitively new book out by MIT prof Sherry Turkle called Alone Together that I just started reading, it's pretty good for those who may want to read a little more on the issue.

Everyone should be reminded
Everyone should be reminded
Everyone should be reminded that contacting recruits in any way is illegal (violates NCAA recruiting rules). I can't find the exact page I was looking for, but this MGoBlue.com page kinda explains what the rules are:

Not that anyone on MGoBlog would be pathetic enough as to write on a recruit's wall about telling them where to go to college...

Social Networks
Social Networks
I wouldn't be surprised if, over the next two years, recruits completely steer clear of these social networking sites.
Not so much because of actual stalkers, but because I suspect a lot of overzealous fans will pretend to be stalkers from rival schools and send lots of obnoxious messages trying to drive prospects away from the competition. Either way, it is likely to get too ugly to put up with.

My opinion of the average fan
continues to slide downhill. The recent events with Cutler haven't done much to help, either. I think some of the blackberry warriors would be happy with a return to lions and gladiators, as long as they felt entertained.
