Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 5040684, member: 10"] Figured I'd post this since I thought it was interesting. It's a long article about how the recruiting service On3 started and how Tipton uses his "Tipton Edits" to trade for recruiting scoops. Makes sense. Tipton tells a kid he'll make one of these cool graphics for them to announce their commitment on social media if they give him the scoop first and an interview with some quotes for a commitment article. If you're a recruiting junkie it's kind of interesting. I didn't realize the guy who started On3 also started Rivals (sold to Yahoo) and 24/7 Sports (sold to CBS). [I]That brief transaction is one of hundreds that Tipton juggles throughout the year, working long hours to build graphics for every major transfer announcement and recruiting commitment across the basketball landscape. It’s painstaking work—especially during busy recruiting seasons—which requires loads of screen time and a regimented daily calendar to ensure every photo request gets completed and treated with the same effort and amount of creativity. “While the portal is open, it’s absolute mayhem and madness,” Tipton tells FOS. “Every time my phone buzzes, I have to check it.”[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://frontofficesports.com/on3-tipton-fawcett-graphic-designer-college-sports-insiders/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
