Twitter Offer Picture Tracker

Earlier this week, Journal Sentinel Marquette beat writer Ben Steele noted on seeing a player use Dawson Garcia in their official offer announcement on Twitter, a pretty odd sighting as most players use established greats like Dwyane Wade or Markus Howard.

I’ve always been really curious about this process. Do coaches provide the pictures for player? Do they just google them? What goes into deciding who to feature?

While I do not have those answers for you at this time, I did have time to dig in and examine all of the public Twitter #mubb offer announcements in 2020. So I put them in a spreadsheet to be able to track this going forward.

In any case this is just a fun summer project, no real analysis is needed. If you want to see the exact players Marquette has offered, I’d recommend checking out the JS’ big board.

One last thing, I follow Twitter closely, but be sure to send me any you find going forward to make sure they are added to the tracker. Here is the full list:
