I clicked on the Twitter accounts listed, followed some threads and I agree with the reaction. I've never associated with higher level, intercity AAU types representing 3-4 star recruits, BUT my hunch is that badgering them and provoking them to anger is probably not the route to take if you want to build good-will. My guess is that they'll turn to their inner pride and really not want to even (double) reconsider their LOI. Also agree that fans have no place in contacting these types personally, but if they feel compelled, I think the opposite approach would be warranted--encourage them that Ohio is STILL the right place. As I glanced through the exchanges never once did I get the impression that the points being made by our fans encouraged the Owens group to possibly think, "you know, maybe we do need to at least pause a moment and listen." Quite the contrary, I would guess they were thinking more along the lines, "go screw yourself Ohio." Thank can't help as it probably only reconfirmed the direction they're leaning/going.
If you really feel the need to badger them, I'd only do that after they're out of the LOI and onto another school. These fans didn't do anything to help Saul's chances and probably hurt them siginificantly though they're the voice of the minority. #badmove
