here is one data point I'll share ...

My son, now a 17 year old 2024 with plans to play in college, had a multi-year recruiting journey with significant social media activity. The D1 college baseball recruiting coaches that had some level of interest in my son, would follow him on twitter (i.e., send a signal with a follow). As a parent, I could see the colleges/coaches that followed my son on his social media, and then I could update the "list I kept" ... to help him target and plan for unofficial visits or future camp opportunities.

Note ... the majority of his meaningful communications with college coaches (before the NCAA contact date) were facilitated though his travel team coaches.

Good luck to all the green parent(s) out there (I was one myself), keep asking questions ... try to enjoy the experience.
