The stories of a recruit being removed from a school’s list due to inappropriate behavior on social media unfortunately are not rare, but the SMU football program has taken Twitter-monitoring to a whole new level under first-year coach Chad Morris.
Van Malone, the team’s defensive coordinator, shared a picture that displayed a relatively comprehensive report about an unnamed commit’s Twitter feed.
We have a team of people who monitor what recruits are putting on social media. Watch what you tweet and retweet. pic.twitter.com/MNjrwSbuEd

The breadth of the report might seem unnecessary, but Morris, Malone and the rest of the SMU coaching staff are utilizing their resources.
