Today, my visit consisted of more of the same. However, this time, my job was to research every potential recruit to see if they have a Twitter account. In order to be able to track them down, I would use Google to search for their name and twitter. If they had one listed, I had to write down their twitter handle. Coaches use this to see what kind of material the potential recruits send out. If I was unable to find their accounts by using google, if multiple guys from the same school were being recruited, I would find one of those guys twitter accounts and look through their list of followers and who they follow in order to find the guy I was originally looking for. I was able to find maybe a dozen guys this way. It was somewhat difficult because some didn’t use their real names and used nicknames instead, and I was able to verify it was them by either their prior tweets, their twitter avatar, or their header if they had their jersey on. On my next visit to the mentorship, the working in the recruiting will continue.
