How important is Twitter in terms of recruiting?

When you come on a social media platform and ask how important a social medium can be.. I think you answered your own question.

Lot of players do not keep current on their Twitter

Very important for the athlete to promote themselves on X. My daughter got a lot of looks and feedback from coaches from videos and posting upcoming events. I would say if you are looking to play at any college level, it is a must. Just do NOT do it for them....

It is a must have and you have to keep it current. My daughter was very good with video. So much so that the school she is playing at today actually only saw her once in person, 1 at bat. When she asked why they never came to see her play, Coach simply responded "We have seen so much video of you, we did not bother to come, we knew exactly what we were getting."

Some of the high level basketball players who have a Nike or Adidas behind them, have social media professionals doing their basketball social media. Helping your kid do Twitter isn't that big of a deal.

When the player has multiple sports, AP classes, clubs, S&A training sessions, pitching lessons, hitting lessons, etc, it's perfectly fine to assist them with Twitter. Just have them verify the language before posting.

My daughter was discovered and offered a
scholarship based on her twitter posts. Coach never came to see her play--offer was based on conversations with her and her posts.

Then that's literally the dumbest college coach ever to walk the earth unless this is JUCO. That would be like picking a money manager based on their five best trades posted on a website.

Easy Johnny Dummy, don't forget the impact covid had on some 2021/2022 recruiting arcs, no matter what your genius instincts tell you.

Also, there is a wide range in the meaning of recruited. There's an invite to a camp, a preferred walk-on, getting money, etc.

Yeah We used Field Lever too, but the coach came out to 1 tournamnet, invited her to the campus then came to her practice before making the offer. I guess they all do it a little but differently
