Twitter and GT prospects

[MaconBacon IM88]

It's clear we're going about this differently - an updated media savvy approach.

For the first time, I followed a couple of recruits and liked their GT posts or even commented verbally or with imagery.

What is appropriate? What says we want you at GT - but is helpful?

I personally did not feel great about following some 18 yr old kid but see other fan bases gushing all over them.

I'm 27 and haven't ever done it. I think it's weird, but they might appreciate some acknowledgment from the fans as long as it isn't creepy. Just something like "glad to have you on the flats, Go Jackets!" wouldn't be weird, I don't think.

Just post the wonderful graphics ‘Morpheus’ has created. I only like, retweet and maybe respond to stupid opposing fan. I don’t tweet at the recruit

Tweeting at recruits is kind of weird. Imagine random adults trying to tell you where to go to school.

 

[Gtbowhunter90]

I respond on recruits posts...

Mainly saying Welcome or sending GT gifs of Buzz or whatever. I don't think it's weird, but if you act like Scott...… yeah hes a weirdo.

 

[Whiskey_Clear]

I’m a radical conservative....Twitter is the devil

 

[smokey_wasp]

I made a generic GT fan profile to follow recruiting. I dont use my personal account. Use hype graphics like ibeeballin says. When they sign, a simple congrats and welcome is cool. If they sign with someone else, say nothing.

 

[SteamWhistle]

Never tweet some weird stuff.
Just think of what is ok to say in person and say that.
Tweeting out pictures and hashtags and stuff like that is 1,000% acceptable.

 

[smokey_wasp]

An example of a good hype tweet would be a graphic and a hashtag like #biGTime19, #GoldBlooded20, #404TheCulture, #FamilyOverEverything, etc. You aren't trying to sway them, but just show that GT fans are engaged and excited. Keep it generic and always positive.

At first I felt creepy watch Coach collins, but then saw he was his own marketing department (w the morpheus guy) . Really a lot of content.

I can't imagine lurking on a players account. I assume we have some intern doing this and funneling it to proper coach for action .

Following teenager -- not a good plan.

 

[boger2337]

I like to plant ideas lol.

Tag multiple kids that visited together and say man... you guys together at Tech would be unstoppable.

 

[ATL1]

I tweet at them. Nothing negative. Just memes and buzz phrases pro GT.

Grown men should not be interacting with kids online. Period. Unless he’s your nephew or maybe a family friend, it’s very creepy.

Disagree. Not creepy. Social media plays a big part in recruiting and when a fanbase shows love, it makes a difference

Ewww. No thanks.

 

[Gtbowhunter90]

Ewww. No thanks.

So is it creepy when former players who have won championships do it? Or just creepy when when a regular Joe like me simply says #ForTheCulture #404 ? Just gathering a bit of context

So what about posting here now? Because you are a grown person and there are a range of posters here.

Or are forums acceptable and Twitter not? Define this kids online? Only under 18?

Just need context for what you mean interaction online. Not being sarcastic. But before you throw that out there would like to know what is or isnt ok from your eyes etc

For the record I dont tweet. So for me its moot.

 

[AlabamaBuzz]

I do think that congratulating them, when they do commit to GT OR liking their posts about GT are 2 things that are NOT crossing the line. If someone is trying to form a new "relationship" with these HS guys, other than the coaches or staff, then yes, that is "creepy".

Is this rhetorical?
