[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is an athletic recruit, applied ED to a high academic D3, and anticipates receiving a likely letter in the next few days.  Should DS wait until the acceptance in December before putting it on social media?[/quote]

What? Pffft. No.

He should blast it on social media and rub the noses in of the losers who did not get in.  What could go wrong? [/quote]

Huh?   Athletic recruits are expected to produce excited social media posts as part of the process when the time comes.  It has nothing to do with rubbing anyone's nose in anything.   The athletic programs...and lots of other programs....are important to the schools and they like to see school spirit from the new admits.   The coach will often explain how and when to proceed with any announcements.    [/quote]

LOL! OP wrote it was a D3 athlete-- hardly a powerhouse.[/quote]

Does not matter.  All the schools that recruit for their athletic programs try to support them.  The audience for these posts is the school community...students, parents, alumni, staff and potential new students.   That is true for 90 percent of these sports regardless of division 1 2 or 3.[/quote]

Also ties in to the athlete's club associations, the school's relationship with those clubs, and the club's desire to tout the success of its members and its recruiting pipeline into the school.[/quote]

Meh.  The clubs are generally exploitive money grubbers preying on parents bank accounts.  Most  athletes make it through in spite of these clubs, not because of these youth clubs.   [/quote]
