Recruiting relentless in age of YouTube

Former Edgewater offensive lineman Michael Brewster, a top-10 recruit nationally, learned the hard way how watched he was.
He still has a MySpace page, set to private, and is careful about what he posts, knowing people with the power to get him in trouble might be watching.
He used to use his MySpace page more often.
One day he heard message boards were posting quotes from his MySpace page if he wrote about football.
"That was when I started really being careful about that stuff," Brewster said. "It happened last year, when I was a junior in high school. It's no big deal; it just shows you what people are looking at."
Brewster now uses Facebook.com more, a site mostly geared toward college students.
"That's a kid's personal business," said Meadows, the Spruce Creek football coach. "Invading their privacy, that's wrong. Let a kid be a kid."
The time for that may be long gone.
