Um, no. Please?

Seriously, with kids making their announcements on twitter and with media including kids' twitter handles in their articles (and retweeting them) it is only going to become more mainstream IMO. I think 24/7 now includes twitter handles each individual's profile page. Short version: it's only going to get worse.

Looking at some of the VolNation traffic analytics it is probably already much worse than you would guess.

Ah, the man has spoken.

I am never going to regard the stalking of high school kids by strange grownups as mainstream. The fact that the "reporters" in the so-called "sports media" exacerbate it makes it worse, in my opinion, rather than legitimizing it. It's already appalling.

I'll probably check it out soon. Going with a stand up or documentary tonight because I doubt I'll finish it.

I'm not thrilled with the whole idea either, but it is what it is.

I can understand how those who follow recruiting closely might enjoy reading kids comment on a visit they just made or which schools made their top five list, but beyond that it's a bit of a head-scratcher.

If they make me laugh I'm down. I can be thoroughly annoyed by any variety. Who did you have in mind?

Someone said the other day that social media is making the recruiting process into more of a circus, and I tend to agree.

When I look in a recruit thread and I see people arguing over whether a tweet he posted was about football or his girlfriend situation, it has gone way too far.

I get that you can't unring the bell. I just think it's grotesque. It's sad that Sabanoccio is going mainstream.

The example you cited has been happening for a while now. I think recruits and players tweet vague things like that just to troll people. They probably sit back and laugh while they watch the meltdown ensue.
