Tuesday Morning Links on VTM | Don't Tweet Recruits; F.Ball Camp Update

1. Sick . . . Again | First it was the kid, and then it was my wife over the weekend. I essentially took over taking care of the kiddo during the weekend, and then, late Sunday night, I started to feel bad. And then yesterday I was coughing and it felt like someone was punching my lower back. I feel better today. I think this is four times I've been sick for this school year.

2. Don't Tweet at Recruits | This is really one of my pet peeves, so I'll be brief. This past weekend, former Red Raider Wes Welker tweeted at a potential recruit. I have no idea if this kid was really a recruit for Texas Tech or even has an offer, but whatever. I should say that I think that it is only a violation, I think, if Welker is a booster, and has given money to Texas Tech. I assume that's the case, but a lot of people seem to be making that assumption. Someone needs to tell Welker to let the coaches do the recruiting. Of course that goes for everyone. Don't tweet at recruits. When recruits are sitting on twitter and wanting to get attention or more follows, don't do it. Just let it go. If you write for a website and you are a booster and an alum, then you are committing a violation. There is a reason why I don't tweet or even mention twitter handles, and it is because I don't want you all tweeting at recruits either. DON'T TWEET RECRUITS.
