Back in my day that was way better than social media clout.
Times have changed. Social media is everything because of the potential to get paid. Motherfrickers on TikTok are making millions broadcasting themselves playing video games. Was that happening back in your day?

From Tim Watts:
Chris Youngblood - USF Bulls - Small Forward (on3.com) arrived for his Alabama visit today (he leaves Sunday), and the early feedback is strong in Bama's favor. Couple of sources tell BOL that the visit is going well. And that isn't shocking, as most visits do. It is worth noting that Youngblood had over 40 schools reach out the minute he hit the portal, but the UA trip leapfrogged others after Youngblood spoke to Nate Oats and staff.
That happened Thursday around lunch. A couple of visits had already been scheduled elsewhere when Oats reached out and Youngblood quickly rearranged his schedule to be here this weekend. So, the interest from Youngblood's end is obvious.
Oats is making a big impression and sources near Youngblood’s recruitment see the system as the perfect fit. Also, there is a hometown feel here with the dad being from Tuscaloosa and his mom having attended UA, per Mr. Hastings.
Tomorrow will really tell the tale, and if things go as expected, we feel UA will be very tough to beat here.

Griffen is a very solid player, might be a late 1st rd NBA guy if he develops a better handle.
I don’t do social media especially as it relates to following players so if he’s smack talking Bama obviously I’m not a fan, but his perimeter defense in the tournament was a key factor in the team going from where they were during the regular season to ending in the F4.
I also just refuse to view any of these guys like I used to because they’re just minor league professionals at this point. So some guy transferring to catch a paycheck from Kansas is no different than a pitcher leaving the braves for a huge deal with some other team.
