Just more evidence Twitter is taking over the recruiting game....

Just more evidence Twitter is taking over the recruiting game....

I dont know about taking over, but it is certainly becoming a compliment to everything else out there.

Wow..this young man is heading for a let down when he hits the first few days of two-a-days and finds that all the attention was in his own very overblown mind.

But, hopefully, he is smart enough to pick the Mean Green!

Now, who is so bored as to even follow this twitter Twinkie? OK, in full disclosure, I am just tired of these over ego'd teenagers and their Look at me...I am so cool" crap. Yep, I am of yesteryear....I admit it.

Good thing I am not the one having to put up with this teen ego stuff on the recruiting trail, huh?

I may be the only person who thinks these recruiting/signing announcements are way overblown...I get it...it''s perhaps an age/maturity thing....just sign and get on with it.

I don't see an ego problem. I see a kid having fun with Twitter to announce his decision.

I don't see a big deal, either. Although I do see the general issue with modern recruiting and media attention giving kids the big head. But I don't see more egotism in announcing on Twitter versus having a pep rally at school to announce the decision or pretty much any other way of announcing.

Those clouds do look scary.

He is having a "pep rally" or siging event at MHS. It is noted on his Twatter feed.

I'm a little disappointed that our GMG softball teams weren't announced in a somewhat similar way
