I just thought this was so cool, coaches using text messages to help with recruiting.
Back when Carter quarterback Michael Crabtree thought Kansas might be the place for him, he punched a few keys on his cellphone and sent a quick, powerful message to the coach who was trying to recruit him there.
Crabtree was letting him know the Jayhawks were on his mind.
"WHA UP COACH"
"Not much – U? Hws THE man doing?"
"Doing great!!!"
In today's high-tech world, coaches and recruits increasingly communicate by text messages. It's a quick way to keep in touch, and while it didn't help Kansas with Crabtree – he orally committed to Texas Tech last week – it still let a coach show a recruit that he was trendy, too.
It is a brave new world, and we just live in it.
