The NCAA allowed coaches to like, favorite, retweet and repost tweets from high school players as of 12:00 a.m. Monday. Coaches are still not allowed to comment on any posts or tweets, however.
This is obviously a game changer in recruiting. Coaches will be given more time to interact with potential prospects.
Credit to Hand for giving recruits a heads up on how he’ll manage his Twitter account moving forward.
