Short YouTube clip by Trenton Luera introducing a recruiting-advice series called 'Recruiting Sauce'. The speaker frames the series as actionable guidance to help athletes get recruited and in this episode compares email and direct messages (DMs) for contacting college football coaches — noting DMs often get more attention (especially on Twitter) but email can still be useful for 'tweeners' who need an initial contact method.

Recruiting sauce number six is a series where I drop street sauce on recruiting.

But if you're a tweener, if you're just trying to sneak your way on, if you're just trying to get in front of a college coach in the first place, email is a pretty good place to start. Now, DMs are a better bang for your buck because most coaches are going to pay attention to Twitter over anything. And definitely a lot of people email college coaches too. But in some cases DMs are closed and sometimes email works better than DMs. For some coaches, it just kind of depends preference of preference. And sadly, we don't know what a coach actually prefers because it depends. And there's also 6,000.
