High school athletes are quickly learning that anything posted online can go viral instantaneously.
Fans can now receive updates on scholarship offers, visits, and commitments the second it happens. Social media networks have
given the entire recruiting community instant access to their favorite prep athletes or potential recruits.
Twitter and Facebook can be a valuable tool to "brand"
student athletes. For example, check out our Facebook Wall to see how student athletes in the network are promoting their academic and athletic skills to college coaches and why a coach might "friend request" a recruit! On the other hand, it's important for student athletes to use common sense when using social networking sites because
one wrong "tweet" could put them on the sideline. For instance, check out What Not to Name Your Facebook Page or What Not to "Tweet"! **
