KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Eric Bailly Jersey . -- A new NCAA rule change is catching some recruits by surprise while causing coaches to debate how much time they should spend on social media.Under the change that took effect last week, athletic department staff members are allowed to retweet or show their approval of social media posts made by recruits. The policy change has been nicknamed Click, Dont Type because coaches still arent allowed to add any sort of comment to a recruits post.NCAA spokeswoman Emily James said the Mid-American Conference proposed the rule change.Kristin Williams, the MACs associate commissioner for institutional services, said the original idea from the leagues coaches was a complete deregulation of social media usage. Williams said the idea was modified to the proposal that eventually passed because of administrative concerns that the initial recommendation would turn into an absolute free-for-all.Many coaching staffs wasted no time capitalizing on the new policy. Tennessee football coach Butch Jones smiled and shook his right hand to jokingly symbolize how tired it had become from all the retweeting.Were going to use it the best we can and not let it interfere with our current team or anything like that, Jones said. I had to have my thumbs popped out a little bit.Some prospects were caught off guard by the rule change.Knoxville Catholic teammates Amari Rodgers and Cade Mays said they were unaware of the new policy until they noticed college coaches had retweeted some of their posts. Although they already have made their college choices -- Rodgers has committed to Clemson and Mays to Tennessee -- both said they could see how a retweet from a coach or staffer might affect an uncommitted recruits decision.It would be cool to see a coach retweet one of your tweets or favorite one of your tweets because you know theyre looking at you and seeing what you put on social media, said Rodgers, a 2017 receiving prospect.Of course, that assumes the coaches are the ones actually doing the retweeting rather than delegating the responsibility.Im sure they feel pretty good when a college guy is retweeting their stuff, but is it really the (coach) or are they putting someone else in charge of handling that stuff? said Murfreesboro (Tennessee) Oakland High coach Kevin Creasy, whose team includes two seniors who have committed to Southeastern Conference schools. I dont know a lot of Division I head coaches sitting around that have time to retweet what a 16-year-old is putting out there. I feel like maybe its helping our unemployment rate go down because somebodys being hired to do that.Different coaches have responded differently to the new policy.Mississippis Hugh Freeze said he personally didnt plan to retweet any posts from prospects, though a scan of social media accounts shows that some of his assistants have done so.I think thats a poor reason to choose a school, because a coach retweeted something, Freeze said. Im not going to partake in that. Some of my coaches may, and I havent instructed them one way or another on it. I could end up doing it, but Im indifferent today.But Tennessees staff was particularly active on social media as soon as the rule change took effect. Jones and his assistants immediately retweeted hundreds of posts from prospects, including some tweets in which recruits announced they had received offers from Tennessee or had committed there.Its kind of a great way to start your morning off, Jones said. Or at night, its kind of my mental escape a little bit from football.The move already is paying off for recruits in at least one respect. Mays, a junior offensive lineman, cited the effect of having one of his posts retweeted by Jones.I think I got 250 followers the first hour, Mays said.---AP Sports Writer David Brandt in Oxford, Mississippi, contributed to this report.

SUNRISE, Fla. -- Its not last season anymore.Thats obvious, of course, but what it means in a hockey context is that the San Jose Sharks (7-6-0) and the Florida Panthers (6-6-1) are battling to regain their form.Both teams will be trying to rekindle that magic from last season on Thursday when the Sharks visit the Panthers. San Jose made the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time in its history last season and Florida set the franchise record with 47 victories.Recent events show signs of improvement.The Sharks snapped a three-game losing streak by winning on the road and dominating one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference, beating the Washington Capitals 3-0 on Tuesday.That win was big for us just to kind of right the ship for us a little bit, said Sharks goalie Martin Jones, who made 24 saves. Everything kind of went our way.For the Panthers, starting goalie Roberto Luongo broke a personal four-game losing streak by beating the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 on Monday.Even better for Florida is the fact that it is starting to get healthier.Forward Jussi Jokinen, who has missed the past nine games due to a knee injury, is set to return on Thursday against the Sharks.Hes ready to play, Panthers coach Gerard Gallant confirmed.Florida center Nick Bjugstad, who has yet to play this season due to a broken hand, is set to return next week.The Panthers also made a trade on Wednesday, acquiring former New York Rangers defenseman Dylan McIlrath, a 6-foot-5, 235-pound bruiser.Florida dealt the Rangers a conditional seventh-round draft pick and 28-year-old defenseman Steven Kampfer, who has been a healthy scratch in 12 of 13 games this season. The Rangers sent Kaampfer to their AHL affiliate, so he is a non-factor, for now at least. Joel Castro Pereira Jersey. .McIlrath, 24, could actually help the Panthers. He was a first-round pick, No. 10 overall, in 2010, but has been unable to crack New Yorks lineup of top-seven defenseman.Part of the problem for McIlrath is that he doesnt play the speed and puck-moving game the Rangers prefer. But with the Panthers, his toughness could be an asset if they indeed use him.Interestingly, the Sharks played the power game all the way to their first Western Conference title last season. But then in the offseason, general manager Doug Wilson added speed by acquiring David Schlemko and Mikkel Boedker as free-agent signings.Neither player has made much of an impact so far, combining for a total of just five points.The Sharks were outstanding on the road last season with a 28-10-3 record. They are off to a 3-4-0 start in 2016-17, including that big win over Washington on Tuesday.The Panthers will have a couple of advantages on Thursday that have nothing to do with personnel -- they are home and did not have to travel. They also have one more days rest in between games than San Jose.Panthers backup goalie James Reimer played for San Jose last season, but is not expected to start on Thursday.San Jose was fourth in the NHL in average goals per game last season, and the Sharks power play is one of the most dynamic units in the NHL. That top unit includes forwards Joe Pavelski, Joe Thornton, Logan Couture and Patrick Marleau along with defenseman Brent Burns at the point.
