No privacy!!

In my blog this week, I read that college recruits are now paying more attention to the players social media activity and are using this as their background checks.  I think, though some may disagree, that this is totally wrong! I could argue both ways, but when weighing the pros and cons, the cons win. These players are in their teens, and while they shouldn't be making a fool of themselves, they have a right to have fun. We all need to have a point in our lives that we should be able to experience new things. We also need to learn what is good and what is bad. During high school we learn these things. And shouldn't the recruits be happy that it's already over with by the time we go to college? I would want my players to have gone to parties and learn lessons so that I won't have to deal with it when they come to me. Some may feel different, but the teenage period is for mistakes, don't judge what they did before they met you.
