I don’t typically follow recruiting closely, but I have been lately with the transfer portal. While reading various home boards, I’ll see that someone posts a Tweet from a player that he’s visiting a school. This is where the fun begins…
Fans of whatever school he’s visiting will respond on Twitter with comments like “Hell yes, let’s do this!”, or “You’ll love being a Spartan, let’s grind this shit out!”, or “Gamer! Join us bro, sky’s the limit!”.
Then I think about what it means to “do this” or “grind it out” for each of them.
For the player: Get up early, lift weights. Film study, then get ass kicked at practice. Get treatment for aches and pains, then do homework. Maybe more film study. Eat clean to maximize potential.
For the Twitter fanboy: Sit on couch, crack beer. Lick Cheeto dust off fingers before picking up phone. Open Twitter app, stalk strangers and send encouraging messages. Lift leg, fart. Check home board for more Tweets to comment on.
I know the young guys like having followers and going viral, but they also have to laugh at this dynamic a bit.

sites to build credibility. I’d show up just often enough that I’d never have to answer a question that would trip me up. During recruiting battles and coaching searches I would low key insult them. Things like, “the staff loved him, offered on the spot…but he went to the game during his visit and couldn’t stand the fans”, or “ his parents are coming around…they love Coach Izzo, but since he didn’t offer, this is decent too”.
