College coaches turn to Facebook, Twitter to land recruits


“It’s probably the only way to communicate with recruits,” says West Virginia football coach, Dana Holgorsen, when asked about Facebook and recruiting.

Like it or not, Facebook & Twitter now account for 50% of college recruiting interaction between coaches and recruits.

Coaches and experts agree that the increasing use of social media is indicative of communication trends, as voice mail is considered superfluous, e-mail is passé and phone conversations are often clipped and awkward.
