April 12, 201214 yr I am sure any followers were doing so to gauge his intent in choosing a college. I highly doubt all 4000 he lost were Kentucky fans. I would think he's likely not worried about that stat in the overall scheme of things.
April 12, 201214 yr I unfollowed Bazz. Only high school/college kids I follow are UK players or recruits (some break news on Twitter now days), so when a recruit goes elsewhere, I unfollow. I would never in a million years consider sending them any messages "bashing" their decision though, that's just stupid. I unfollowed him the night before & not because of any ill-will. He's a talented kid who can go wherever he wants. But my only reason for following him was because he was a UK recruit. Wanted to see what he said about the process. I fail to grasp how unfollowing someone you don't know on Twitter is a big deal... I am sure any followers were doing so to gauge his intent in choosing a college.

April 12, 201214 yr I'm old. I don't get following high school kids on Twitter. Heck, as some know I'm close to kid going through some major recruiting and I don't follow HIM on Twitter. I don't care about his girls, his math homework, his new fave song, his comments about a school. That's me. I don't get it but I don't judge anyone who does follow those kids. We ALL agree that bashing a kid is simply wrong.

April 12, 201214 yr I'll follow anyone who interests me. Their age and school affiliation means little to me. I've had some good conversations with high school kids. Some even prove to be more mature than some adults I know.
April 12, 201214 yr I don't know why but I really don't follow recruits until they announce they are coming to the school I cheer for (e.g. I started following Noel last night). I had a buddy who tried to get me to follow Shabazz a few weeks ago to send him things about coming to UK. I declined because if I was Shabazz I wouldn't want all that extra crap from fake people begging me to play for their favorite team.
April 12, 201214 yr I'll follow anyone who interests me. I have a two-fold rule for people I follow on Twitter. You either have to #1- Entertain me (make me laugh) or #2- Inform me on something I care about. I couldn't care less about who follows me. I'm there to be entertained & informed.
April 12, 201214 yr Don't you think Adidas and Nike also grease the palms of some these kids parents?? OSU is a NIKE school. A few weeks ago, Satch was shown on the tv during a game. He was sporting a really nice Adidas garment. Wonder what shoe company his son will sign with? I think shoe companies should be banned from having affiliations of any type with AAU teams.

April 14, 201214 yr Similar to Jeff Teague getting a big Nike deal while burried on the Hawks bench. Business is business... Teague has been playing a lot lately GT.
April 14, 201214 yr Teague has been playing a lot lately GT. I know. At the time this went down he was averaging about 2 ppg...
April 15, 201214 yr I know. At the time this went down he was averaging about 2 ppg... Oh okay. I don't really follow the NBA, but saw where he had put up some good #'s lately.
April 15, 201214 yr Teague has been solid all year long. Jeff Teague Stats, News, Videos, Highlights, Pictures, Bio - Atlanta Hawks - ESPN
April 15, 201214 yr Teague has been solid all year long. Jeff Teague Stats, News, Videos, Highlights, Pictures, Bio - Atlanta Hawks - ESPN He got the new Nike deal early last season. He didn't play much until later in the year because of an injury. Got the deal right around when Mook signed in November 2010...
