Author Topic: a twitter feed mu fans SHOULD flood (Read 3019 times)

im against mu fans crying at writers for where they rank mu in their polls, but what mu fans should flood on twitter is support for this stud to let him know maybe the big state school doesnt like him succeeding but the better basketball program right down the road supports him.

edit: Nope.

It's creepy and quite possibly counterproductive.

I don’t take that as an MU vs UW thing. I don’t think the Nicolet team is very well liked in the high school basketball scene much like Germantown was when they had Showalter. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of high school kids transferring schools to play basketball together either.

Following HS recruits on twitter will not end well.

Got better things to do, like floss my teeth.

Adults contacting HS kids on social media is bizarre

i dont even want to know what people are doing that theyre worried about what problems theyd have or being creepy if theyre following a 17 year old on twitter. i think a lot of people just outed themselves here. heck nobody even said follow the kid. theres a single tweet referenced. just like there are when kids tweet out that mu is in their top 5, top 2, on an official visit to mu, etc. heck, people keep track of who 17 year olds start following on twitter and instagram here all the time.

You said flood, and people could take that to mean flood with comments to convince him where to go.

No one outed anything, adults in general probably are hesitant to follow minors that aren’t there kids for any host of reasons.

This link describes what is means to be a booster or representative of athletic interests. The NCAA has strict guidelines about contact. Most of the people on this site fall under these guidelines. That is why contact cannot be made.

Ooof, you would hate Illinois high school basketball then. Suntimes used to send reporters to Simeon and Morgan Park on the first day of school to see who was enrolled.
