Are we on Snapchat?

Seeing a lot of action on Twitter about Tennessee's photoshopped magazine cover with Shy Tuttle and Beyonce.

The thing that stood out to me most was the fact they "snapped" this to him. As you may or may not know, Snapchat is a monster of a platform for kids we're trying to recruit. With these two new recruiting coordinators on campus, I really hope they're in this space.

Just found this as a good reminder of what it takes to compete these days.

LOL I don't post often on here, but that's my snapchat name. I sent Spilly pictures of my corgis.

Every second counts

You win for two reasons: the awesome Snapchat name, and corgis.

Enjoy this delicious(?) virtual turkey leg.

Wonder how that can be tracked by the NCAA.
(not the Dick pics...the contact with recruits.)

So, The U is buying burner cells as we speak!

I'd be surprised if that metic was available to the NCAA. Would get into all kinds of privacy issues that Snapchat says it prides itself on. Moreso from the recruit's vantage.

That's my thought. Unlimited contact. Whole nother ball game.

Wow. Thanks for the info.
That could be a very dangerous or strong tool that could be used for recruiting.

For the life of me, I still cant figure out the purpose of Snapchat aside from the aforementioned dick pics. I've asked many Snapchat enthusiasts and they cant ever seem to articulate it either. So odd.

I think the ability to send/'converse' with pictures/captions (like we do on TKP often) is a fun concept. Yes you can do it via text message, but you cannot (easily) meme/add captions in the messages app. While the 'expiring' aspect is nice for dick pics, it is also removes clutter from the app.

Just my $0.02, as someone who uses snapchat, but not (yet) for dick pics.

TechHokie13's picture TechHokie13 | 11 years 10 months # ^

.... is the "yet" really necessary there? Can we be a little more definitive on this one?

you never know when you'll need to send a dick pic

Just for the record, Snapchat pictures don't really expire. They're stored in a hidden file on your devices that aren't exactly difficult to locate if you know how to fish around a device's directory.

Hence the quotation marks. My iPhone is Jailbroken, there's at least 10 different tweaks available to keep snaps around.

You don't even need that, you just need to gain access to the file where all those pictures are stored. With a jailbroken iPhone or a rooted Android device, finding that folder isn't difficult.

Females. Females and more females. That's how I personally got into snapchat anyway. Any bizarre, trendy social media app can be thought of as a modern extension of quirky fashion trends that have popped up over the years.
