One of the coaches I’ve talked to said social media makes it hard to keep kids grounded. He said one of his younger guys recently had a big game and he got too much into all of the love from Twitter and it was hard to get him back down to earth. He said he’s a great kid, but the amount of praise he received went to his head a bit.
Another coach said the same.
A coach also said he’s been to several Arkansas practices and believes Bielema is one of the few coaches that’s still down-to-earth and not full of himself. He mentioned two other coaches in the state of Texas. He had trouble coming up with others.
