In an article in The Oregonian, Beavers’ Head Coach Jonathan Smith revealed some insights into his recruiting process. Notably, he’s not a big fan of social media.
“Maybe I’m old school, but I’m just not on it that much,” Smith said. “I’m way more into phone calls that I can have with recruits rather than retweeting their picture. That doesn’t say I’m right for doing it and they’re wrong. It’s just a different way of doing it.”
In an era where a poorly worded tweet or a racy instagram can spread like wildfire, there’s something refreshing and authentic about Coach Smith’s approach.
