Reply to "After You Verbally Commit"

As time goes on the use of social media has changed in recruiting. When my kids went through recruiting they were told to stay away from social media. One of my daughter’s softball teammates lost an offer because a picture with a beer in her hand was tagged to her page from someone else who attended the party.

My daughter said she didn’t have time for Facebook. Even now she barely uses it except for vacation and dog pictures due to her professional and potential future political career. Her black lab made the well known Dogist Facebook page. My son changed his name on his Facebook page from high school recruiting through college. Call me Ismael. As an adult he says he doesn’t have time for Facebook.

Locally, where I live now there was recently a lawsuit over a college prospect, high school lacrosse player being suspended from the team due to a picture with a beer can being tagged to his page. The suspension was reduced from the season to one week.
