I have read often that coaches check on the social media accounts of perspective recruits to get a feel of the type of person they may be bringing into their program. While, I am not really sure how much this factors into whether or not to make an offer (5 star recruits with crappy social media presence will still get scholarships), it can obviously be a factor for a fringe kid.
My DD is 12 and does not have any social media accounts due to the fact that she has mean parents. I assume that at some point, we'll break down and let her sign up for something. But, my question today is how do coaches view it when a player has no social media exposure? Is this considered worse than someone who has a good social media background? Do they assume the kid is hiding their identity and it's therefore a negative?
