Should we tweet/ask players to stay

[InnervisionsUMASS]

Tracking individual likes on social media and then reporting them here feel intrusive to me, idk.

Yes I know those things are publicly visible but still.

You're overthinking it. It's not creepy at all.

^you walk around the board being a douche for no reason related to content only your own personal feelings about people. It is really quite pathetic, I feel bad for your spouse and friends if you have any in real life or act like this irl.

Says the wo/man that made it their personal quest to forward to every media source possible the news about the Lou Roe fiasco... Not to mention the Tu Holloway reference.

You are a real piece of work!

when do we expect assistant coaches to be named? I would assume soon as the recruiting trail will be hot on the AAU circuit. I hope we don't need to find a bunch of talent for next year....

I think he said 7-10 days. He plans to talk to at least one of his assistants at UT-C, maybe two. Interesting that Shyrone was the only assistant to be at the press conference yesterday. Maybe it has meaning and maybe it's nothing.

I found it interesting that the other coaches were reported to be at the Final Four, which I interpreted as an opportunity for them to network for other jobs. I think that Chatman staying in Amherst, along with McCall, during the Final 4 is a good sign he will be retained.

I guess my perspective is too different relating to this.

That's exactly why I think you're overthinking this specific situation.

I believe Chatman is also from TN or at least the south. Maybe a kinship there.

Yep, I agree. I actually think McCall being from the South could be a big plus for THIS specific roster with so many players from the region. Maybe it extends to Chatman, too. It is subtle, but a familiarity and comfort level might be there.

Seth Berger has been a fine example for UMass hoops. If he wishes to leave to be closer to home or more playing time, best of luck to him. If he stays with the team that is great too. I think it would be beneficial to fill a few spots for 2017/18. A skilled combo guard would be my first choice.

First of all, I don't see what the problem is with seeing whether someone liked a post/picture. Second, when scrolling through pictures on Instagram if you follow someone it shows them as having liked the picture without having to click into anything, so this is where I saw it and didn't go out intentionally "tracking" his likes.

[Worcester_To_Amherst]

Twitter means nothing concrete but Deeky's feed has me thinking that in his mind, for now, he intends on staying in Amherst. Combine that with the statements from his high school coach early after the DK firing, and I'm hopeful he is sticking around.

Sounds like thats more of an issue for yourself to deal with than something you need to portray on other people. They're student athletes who are in the public eye. Completely different than some random person being stalked as is such in your situation.

Sounds like someone who has mastered fifth grade articulation but just can 't make the next step.

^ Sorry are you saying that you are as much of a public figure as a star college athlete? Basically anyone can get a verified Twitter if they want to bother.

Step 1: Make Twitter name your brand or your real name or website name or blog name or team name or business name or YouTube channel name or other relevant identifier.
step 2: write a email to Twitter explaining why it is important that people know its the real you link to your Twitter from your site if applicable or provide identifying information.
step 3: profit

She's a professional journalist...and no, I didn't figure that out via stalking!
