Absolutely. If you were a coach and had to choose between two equal ballers, would you choose the one who had a record of projecting a positive immage on social media for years or the one you only had a couple visits with?

I used to only see a handful of the tweets referenced here. Mostly retweeted or liked by instructors or coaches I follow. But over the last couple of years, I have seen a lot of accounts that have popped up that do nothing other than retweet any tweet they are tagged in. This leads to EVERY girl who tweets tagging them in EVERY tweet and then they all get retweeted. It doesn't bother me much when I see 21's, 22's, or 23's doing this but lately I've been seeing 26's and 27's posting video of ground ball reps indoors and them doing power cleans. I thought the D1 recruiting changes would eliminate the middle school recruiting tweets but now everyone seems to think that you still have to "get on their radar" three years before they can actually recruit you.
I have to mention my favorite new phenomena. Has anyone else noticed the large number of front toss videos at night? It seems someone realized that if you hit at night with the lights on and place the camera (phone) low and off just to one side, you see the first 100 feet or so of the ball travel before it is lost in the lights/dark. Every hit from line drive to pop up looks like a bomb this way. Over the last few months I must have see 100 of these videos pop up in my feed.

How would you decide between two equal ballers? Ton of talent out there.

Fair enough. You say you wouldn't base your decision off a social media presence. I'll take your word for it..
Choose one player from the same league:
Player 1
4.3GPA
15 bombs
78 MPH pull down throw
2.9sec home to 1st
Shady social media presence
Player 2
4.3 GPA
14 Bombs
75MPH pull down throw
2.98 sec home to 1st
Positive social media presence
A positive social media presence wouldn't persuade me... but a negative social media presence would definitely make me steer clear.
Knowing that everybody checks out social media for jobs and other things, the stuff some people posts amazes me.
When I use to manage a store for the company I work for, my tie-breaker was handwriting.
Wouldn't be a choice. A shady social media presence would DQ anyone. That said those two examples if one had no social media and other was all unicorns and ice cream still wouldn't add to her stock. Social media posts are polished, scrubbed versions of reality. I think most people know that.
