Hoo to Follow

Sorry for the stupid title, but it felt appropriate. I have fallen into the twitter trap (@mikev1b, follow me!) and have decided this might be a good time to tell everyone who they absolutely must be following on twitter to get some good info/entertainment regarding UVA sports.

1. LaRoy Reynolds (@Rampagee9)

Favorite Tweet of late: We in there tonittttteeeee !!

About 95% of the time I have absolutely no idea what LaRoy is talking about. He will tweet the most random stuff providing absolutely no context for it. Case in point the example above. He's always good for a head scratcher at least once a day, though recently there has been some sort of strigfe involving a girl that must have lied to him or something. I have been glued to the twitter for updates.


2. Mike Scott (@MScottuva23)

Favorite Tweet of Late: My pops txted me shm .. lol I said, its SMH dad lol wow

Mike is great. He will twitpic everything he does, which is always a treat. He also seems to shake his head at everything. EVERYTHING. The best part about Mike is that he will follow you back, no matter who you are. Plus his shit is hilarious.


3. Eli Harold aka Swaggdaddy GQ (@Medgar_Harold)

Favorite Tweet of Late: Errythings purple errythings purple swagg swagg swagg swagg!

If your phone does push notifications you should a) change that, and b) not follow Eli. Kid is a machine on the twitters. Also tweeting some of the dumbest things I've ever read but does occasionally tweet at other recruits. It's well documented that he is recruiting kids to UVA almost as hard as the coaching staff, so at least for this class, it's fun to see who he talks to. Current targets appear to include Salem QB Bucky Hodges, and Bayside RB Smoke Mizzell.


4. Jamie Oakes/Wahoos247 (@JamieOakes247/@Wahoos247)

Favorite Tweet of Late: UVa is in the hunt for 2013 Gladstone (N.J.) Gill St. Bernards four-star point guard Jaren Sina ...

Jamie is the moderator of Wahoos247 which Kendall says is the best recruiting site out there and I am starting to agree. His stuff is always solid and seems to be able to scoop everyone else. If you have the spare cash to invest in this and love recruiting, do it. It's well worth it.


5. Virginia Baseball (@UVABaseball)

Favorite Tweet of Late:Just 24 days til the UVA baseball season opener ... and only 4 weeks until the home opener vs W&M!

If you like baseball you have to. It is very well done and keeps you up to date on everything.


Those are just a few. If you know of some that I missed drop it in the comment section. Twitter is actually a surprisingly useful tool as a sports fan which I am finally using. If you don't use it, give it a try! No one says you have to tweet anything...
