Social Media has become a huge part of the recruiting process. The majority of college programs have a presence on social media. Usually the coaching staff and program will each have their own respective pages. Following coaches and programs is one way to make a connection. Interacting with their tweets is another. Coaches like recruits are building a on-line brand or image. When you like or comment on their tweets you build that connection. This in-turn builds your on-line image. IF coach's DM's are open you can also connect with them there as well.
