Directly addressing players


Jan 24, 2013, 3:02 PM

What's the deal with directly addressing players in Tnet posts?

Do y'all think that recruits read this?

Even if recruits did read this, do you think that referring to them as "Mr. Adams" or "son" and then either extolling the virtues of Clemson or begging these 18 year-old kids to come here has any positive effect?

Many of the same people that do this sort of thing have told me to withhold my opinions on various things (S&C, etc) and "let the coaches coach." Well I say to those of you wasting board space with personal messages to high school athletes, let the recruiters recruit.

Actually yes, some of the recruits do read sites like this. RK pretty much stated so and so did his mother...and they werent happy with the bashing towards him...

Well then we will call it a wash because I wasn't happy seeing him bash the university I graduated from for no apparent reason.

That doesn't read the way you really meant it, I am pretty certain.

Actually I am only commenting because it made me laugh.... In a good way.

Peace brother, and go Tigers!

I apparently graduated for no reason too.

Then I'm sure he really appreciated you getting his last initial wrong.

Note to you:

they don't really mean this seriously. They know it's a board. It's just part of the entertainment culture of the board. Most people understand this.

yes

I would think players would read postings on a site after they commit or even if they are coming in for an official visit. I can just imagine most of us would if we were in their shoes. Thats why you have to be careful what you say.

So this is an admission of your motive?***
