D19 was an athlete, and those guys/girls DO get checked, pretty much across the board. I know some coaches personally, both in and out of his sport. They all say they have stopped recruiting numerous kids based on social media. Knowing this, he was always paranoid about anything he ever posted.
I’m guessing like @PetraMC alluded to there was another account I didn’t know about. He was cagey about that. But I figured if I couldn’t find it then coaches couldn’t either.
But for all my kids I just periodically remind them that if you would be embarassed if your grandma read it, don’t post it. NOTHING is private anymore.
