I get that people take an interest in top recruits, but something about these types of threads feels creepy and stalkerish to me. We're talking about 16- and 17-year-old kids. She'll decide to go wherever she decides to go, when the time is right for her.

Yeah, you're right. Discussing where the nation's best women's college basketball recruit may go or when the nation's best women's college basketball recruit may make their decision on a women's college basketball forum is definitely "creepy and stalkerish".

It goes beyond mere "discussion," in my opinion, when about every five days someone feels compelled to start a whole new "What's the Latest on Megan?" thread and her every micromovement, both IRL and on social media, is surveilled and hyperanalyzed to the nth degree. But that's just me.

It is not just you.

 

[chrissaran]

Plebe, then why are you on here commenting? Nobody said you have to read and comment on other people's posts. Don't say anything.

Because this time I felt the desire to share my feelings about these recruit-helicoptering threads.

It's apparent that some people agree with me and some don't, which I expected. Just because not everyone agrees with me doesn't mean I must remain silent. People with divergent opinions can share the same board.

 

[Charliebball]

In case there are those who are interested:

Ain't that the Damn Truth!!

I certainly think you should feel free to speak your mind as long as you don't disparage those on this board who find it entertaining to do some non-intrusive recruiting detective work..... .....I always have found it interesting that some of those folks who find it "creepy" have no problem making critical remarks about an 18 year old player's physical ability and/or mental makeup once they attain a college scholarship.........

Yes, let's have more peace and tolerance on this board. Sometimes the search for recruiting news can seem intrusive and overbearing. I don't believe that's true in this case. Again, peace.

Intrusiveness (unwelcomed contact) at 16-17 is creepy. The same intrusiveness at 18 is perhaps "less creepy" but still ...... Intrusiveness at any age is potentially still creepy. Commenting on a players physical ability and/or mental makeup is none of the above.

Who is this Megan Walker everyone keeps talking about?

 

[Orangutan]

The irony is that we're having this discussion over Walker who retweets compliment after compliment. She appears to enjoy the spotlight moreso than most recruits.

Apparently you're not allowed to ask that question until she starts her freshman college season

Agreed..............Walker sure appears to love all of the attention that comes with the recruiting process and now that the new NCAA social media rules allow college coaches to like and retweet the recruit's own comments, it will take on a whole new dimension...............I have a feeling that there are those out there that are unfamiliar with social media and the way that it is viewed by high school athletes or any high school aged person for that matter............perhaps it's an age thing.........I live it every day with my high school daughter so perhaps I have a different perspective............

This story explains the new NCAA rules on social media/recruiting:

Players like it, but the NCAA's new social media rule could be chaos for coaches

 

[Charliebball]

Here's how the the University of Massachusetts handles the new rules for coaches and social media:

Can't believe there are rules about clicking but not typing with respect to social media (what do you do if your computer doesn't have a mouse?), but none addressing real issues like student-athletes taking fake classes to stay eligible. Goes to show you how lost the NCAA truly is. In any case if Walker comes to UConn that'll be the end of her tweeting.

 

[skilz]

I like the new social media rules, but I've already seen 1 coach break this. Recently a recruit committed to her college. The next day the coach sent a tweet tagging the new recruit. Makes you wonder what else was done prior to the commitment to get this girl to commit.
