brianstl Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Unfollowing isn’t about hard fellings, it is about business. Twitter followers and how often accounts are interacted is one thing players can use to generate NIL opportunities. Don’t help players build a brand after they passed on playing for SLU. Do follow the social media accounts of all of SLU’s players and engage with their accounts when you have a chance. It is the easiest thing all Billiken fans can do to help make SLU a more attractive option in the modern landscape.

brianstl Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 On the topic of following players, it is criminal on the part of Billiken fans that Perkins, Okoro and Jimerson don’t even have a thousand followers on Twitter. Come on Billiken fans, do better. RUBillsFan, stmdragons, thetorch and 2 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littlebill Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Getting back to the topic at hand.... The top player in the portal just committed to Creighton. He's from a couple hours west of Omaha. Interesting for a top, high level transfer to go and play for a preseason top 20 team near where he grew up..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianstl said it was criminal that Billiken fans had not given Billiken players thousands of likes on their Twitter accounts. My response was that not all Billiken fans have twitter accounts. BrettJolleyComedy responded in like on Instagram. I responded that not every Billiken fan has an Instagram account. I have torch, among others on ignore, so I have no idea what was posted there.

I am an older fan who has twitter and follows Bob Ramsey, Carter, Rothstien, and A10 talk. I have complimented Hargrove and Bell but I do not follow players. If a tweet about a player I will respond at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t have a Twitter or Instagram account get one and follow the whole roster. It cost you nothing and is the easiest thing you can do support the players on the team. Building a brand is important to many basketball recruits. Help the players that come to entertain you build a brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one of the first things I check every morning. I have a total of 0 tweets but it’s a great way to get information quickly. You just need to avoid all the nonsense.

I suspect the validity of your statement depends on how you define “fan.” brianstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
