I don't really understand twiiter at all.  I think it has the ability to completely kill these recruiting sites in a few years.  It seems like all these kids tip their hats to every decision on twitter.  Other players are breaking stories about scholarship offers for their friends, where their teammates are going to go, etc.  "You heard it here first."

As for the athletes, most of them seem hellbent on trying to amass more and more twitter followers.

Marillac, imagine if everything you said from age 10 on was documented on the internet.
This is not a toy. Some, will learn the hard way.

As far as killing recruiting sites, let them kill that aspect of it. Fine with me. This site, for example
offers so much fresh content, that it's not going to miss a beat.

Big East Boards broke stories, too. Where are they now?

I have Zero interest in twitter and  to me it just seems like a glorified facebook status update thing and refuse to join ( but I like facebook )but I will say the one thing about it that can help us is all these recruits and potential recruits talking to each other on it all the time.

These younger kids it just seem dont make phone calls anymore.
