Minutes ago, ND Kendrick reported this:

Lyle, an Evansville native that spent last year at Huntington Prep, had signed and planned to enroll at Oregon, as is indicated on his twitter bio. He confirmed this with a well-emoji-ed tweet.

Are you too having this internal debate? No worries! We're here to help with AN EXPLAINER:

SHOULD I TWEET AT RECRUITS?: AN EXPLAINER

Jaquan Lyle MIGHT go to Indiana! Should I tweet at Jaquan Lyle?

No. You should not tweet at JaQuan Lyle. He will, most likely, not go to Indiana.

What about other recruits? Should I tweet at them and tell them to come to Indiana?

You should never tweet at recruits, ever.

What about recruits that commit to other schools? Should I tweet at them at question their integrity and character?

No, unless you are a Ohio State football/Kentucky basketball fan. If so, please see below template.

What about other social medias, like Facebook?

No, unless above reasons. See below as a guide.

So, there are no circumstances where I should tweet at a recruit, correct?

Correct.

Are you sure?

Yes. Don't tweet at recruits. Don't tweet at JaQuan Lyle. Don't tweet at any recruits, ever.
