Updated Recruiting Notes: Twitter Edition

Just thought I'd give a quick update on the twitter recruiting front with our coaches. As you all know, I am a big believe in Twitter being all you really need to follow recruiting now (IT'S FREE TOO) and we had some interesting information come in over the last day.

It appears to me UW had a recruiting meeting last night with the coaches, so expect Thursday evenings to be when we will get more information each week during the season. The reason I say this is because our coaches followed a shit ton of recruits last night (probably around 250 new follows overall, keep in mind, this can be guys getting followed by multiple coaches). Here are some of my main takeaways:

- From this new batch of follows, the most followed non-UW commits were (in no particular order): Aashari Croswell, Jackson Cravens, Kyler Gordon, Abdul Malik-McClain, Julius Irvin, Chris Murray, Bryan Addison, and unfortunately, Joey Ramos

- For the first time since I have been stalking coaches twitters, Jonathan Smith has actually started following Non-QB's. I don't know if this is a good or a bad thing. It's likely bad. He even started following non-offensive players and 2019/2020 kids. I am impressed, but also horrified.

- Coach Pete made his first follows in MONTHS on August 1st (when official offers could go out) so I am guessing he followed these guys so he could DM them their official offers from his own account. Keep in mind he already follows a lot of our current commits and other major targets. Here are his August 1st non-committed follows: Bryan Addison, Caleb Tremblay, Dominique Hampton, and Julius Irvin

- As good as the 2018 class can be, the 2019 and 2020 (holy fuck) classes could be insane. Coaches followed a LOT of these kids. I am going to start tracking the 2019/2020 classes via twitter soon. For now I am all focused on 2018.

Couple random notes:

- Only recruit followed by every single coach? Jacob Sirmon

- Most followed recruit? Devin Culp (21 follows with coaches, recruiting staff, GA's, and recruiting interns)

- Most followed non-committed player? Julius Irvin (17), Kyler Gordon (16), Chris Murray (16)


I've been working on a lot of shit for this. Inputting the data manually with the help of @Dennis_DeYoung and another unnamed source, we honestly have no life. I hope to have something coming down the road for all of you recruiting nerds soon. Stay tuned ;)

    Chris Brown
    Caleb Tremblay
    Julius Irvin
    Kyler Gordon
    Bryan Addison
    Zion Tupuola-Fetui
    Jackson Cravens


    I'm going with Caleb Tremblay over Chris Brown for next money shot

    I think we? get 2 or 3 defensive committs by the end of the month. Pete probably wants to lock things up for December signing period.

    Coker,
    How do you think UW is sitting with Tremblay and Irvin based on the Twitterverse?

    Is this "chat," because I'd like to share outside of chat?

    Go for it, but I will find you...

    This is actually the same prediction I have. Addison the toughest get, but he definitely seems more interested in UW than most, and with their last DB class and likely getting Aashari and others in this class, I think WHASWTK

    We are more in play for Taylor-Stuart than most think so thank Lake for that.
