Brand/Social Media

I feel like this part of the road to glory process isn’t as realistic as it could be. Seeing as now you can play in high school and became a 4 or 5 star recruit, it should be easier to build a brand without it affecting anything else. Most 5 or 4 star players that’s a top 10 national player already have a brand or have a big following. Any player that has media coverage like OT7/Overtime, MaxPreps, ESPN, and other high profile players already have a brand with a high follower count. Some players that aren’t in college yet have almost 100,000 followers on one social media platform. Bryson Wright is an amazing example of this. He’s a 2028 high school recruit that has been covered by high profile media outlets, he already has his own signature cleat along with offers and interests from 4 and 5 star college programs. The brand/social media aspect of the game should be tweaked because it’s unrealistic to an extent.
