Good article on social netwroking and recruting

Something we talk about on here with people getting mad at recruits and saying nasty things as well as how recruiting through Facebook and Twitter is here to stay

Real commitments -- and decommitments -- via social media have turned out to be equally as messy. South Carolina running back pledge Mike Davis stunned his 4,000-plus followers earlier this month when the Stone Mountain (Ga.) Stephenson star tweeted that he had decommitted from Florida. Many of those followers were Gators fans.

"A lot of them were like, 'We respect your decision, you have to do what's best for you,'" said Davis, the No. 62 player on the ESPNU 150. "But most of it was negative, people taking it the wrong way, attacking me. "

Just one of the examples talked about among others

Notice

It’s best if you don’t talk to recruits/players on facebook at all. If you feel that you absolutely must, please refrain from saying anything that might reflect poorly upon yourself and the program as a whole. If you’re embarrassing the program and we see it, we’ve encouraged everyone to put you on blast publicly. That kind of stuff isn’t OK.
