Everyone on twitter, give Coach Grant a Follow!
https://twitter.com/CoachGrantUD
He hasn't tweeted anything yet but it looks like it was just created (it doesn't look fake), which is awesome!
Long time coming lol

I'm sorry but this is going to be the worst coaches account ever. It's pretty obvious CAG has no interest in twitter/social media since it took so long for it to be created.
Most likely a manager or grad assistant has now been assigned to run the account and will retweet stuff from other UD basketball twitter accounts with an occasional tweet that appears to be CAG. Maybe I'll be proven wrong but I highly doubt it.

I think Coach Grant is much better off by never going to Twitter. It's a distraction to recruiting, teaching and winning.
|
Few people in important positions of leadership should ever tweet. Take that howyou will.

What in the world are you guys talking about... Twitter has actually become quite an important tool when it comes to recruiting, and someone needs to take control of Grant's account - and start communicating with this generation of college basketball's "kids".
For instance... if coach Grant wants these kids to know what UD is about - he would be re-tweeting out Archdeacon's 'Flyer “family” gets freshman through a nightmare' article.

Do you think the last guy the coached here did all his own tweeting?

Disagree there. Twitter is another way to monitor a kid, making sure they are not doing or saying stupid things. But most importantly, it's another way to keep in touch with athletes.

Thank you for not calling him CAG. Rhymes with gag.

Absolutely not. Archie was about as interested in twitter as CAG (sorry SDF).

This is absolutely correct. If he has no interest in twitter simply tell a GA to run the account and to be active doing it. Make sure the GA has some pics of the family(wife and kids) so he can wish them happy birthday/anniversary etc so it appears to be CAG's account. Like the appropriate tweets that kids UD is recruiting make and maintain a presence. I get that twitter isn't for everybody but it's part of the recruiting game and you need to be involved in it.

Also throw in some photos of his dinner plate. Everyone loves those on social media.

Distraction? How so? I'd confidently say that every single recruit we are courting is active on Twitter. While the troll level is Orange, Twitter is an effective way to monitor kids, communicate in the modern world. Twitter is what you make of it. I'm more worried if he's not active versus being active. It's an excellent way to promote your program if done right.

Drunk Anthony Grant is a much better follow just like Drunk Archie Miller was.
I'm just mad at myself for not creating a Drunk Morgan Miller account to tweet from even though it may not have been much different than her real account up until the Northwestern game.

Give me the drunk Sam Miller account please. No better way than social media to piece last night together and maybe find your pants.

I don't get the fascination with social media.

I agree with you but if the President of the US thinks it is a great forum of communication AG should seriously consider same.

I don't either, but then I don't get Rap Music, Selfie's or protests, but then my parents never got me either.

If these kids had any idea the amount of privacy they give away freely to any company they purchase from, any company they work for, government, or other organizations they would think twice before being so active on social media.
Based on some reading/research I have done, I've significantly curtailed my social media usage.

Yep, a bad social media account can very well keep someone from getting a job.
But on the other hand... at many companies nowadays, a good social media account can land you a job.

There are companies now that will not consider an applicant without an active social media account.

Dare I say Coach Grant is off to a much better start than Archie had. The program is in a much better shape than when Archie arrived. All the same, big fan of what Grant has done so far in his time on campus.
Hoping it translates into success on the court as well.

Agree he has done well. He has cast a wide net recruiting wise. Will be interesting who he lands in the boat.
