Clemson coaches clicking away after new Twitter recruiting rule

Clemson’s coaches aren’t wasting any time taking advantage of the new NCAA Proposal 2015-48, which went into effect at midnight Aug. 1 and allows coaches to “republish” or “endorse” prospects on social media for the first time.

In other words, coaches can now re-tweet, like and share the tweets or posts of recruits, with the only exception being they can’t comment on them.

Already, as of this article, Clemson co-offense coordinator/wide receivers coach Jeff Scott and defensive coordinator Brent Venables combined to re-tweet 30 tweets from recruits.

Scott mostly re-tweeted Clemson commits while sprinkling in a couple of re-tweets from top targets OrTre Smith and Jordan Williams. Venables, on the other hand, re-tweeted uncommitted players more often (nine out of 13 times, to be exact).

You can check out the full list of re-tweets below:

Defensive tackles coach Dan Brooks got in on the activity, too, despite a lack of re-tweets. He liked this tweet from Amari Rodgers earlier in the day:
