C-time: Ohio State's basketball website is completely updated with the new roster including the walk-on's plus the non-conference schedule and the conference schedule. Why am I comparing Dayton's internet presence with Ohio State? Answer: Because Dwayne Cohill or his parents might be noticing it; just like I just noticed it!
If you want to compete, you got to get in the game and little things like the internet page can be important.
Now, I see that the web-page has, at least, put some of the bio info on the web page. My point was the internet presence and social media marketing is REALLY IMPORTANT. In life there are so many things that you CAN NOT CHANGE but working extra hard and keeping a web page "top notch" is something that CAN BE CHANGED. Having spent much time, preaching to my C-Team, at work, about the importance of marketing through every channel and the importance of web and media presence; I just hated the perception that the University of Dayton is not trying to be technologically savvy.
Do I really think that the University of Dayton having a "top notch" presence on Internet web pages, Twitter, Facebook and others will swing a "top" basketball recruit or his parents to sending their kid the Dayton? Maybe, its just one factor. But, like the consumer, you never know what swung the buyer to buy your product. Was it the price, quality, referral from another consumer, or just a great web presence that got the word out?
