The Digital ACC in Review

We've made it through the ACC -- thanks for sticking with me! Here's a quick summary of the ACC -- what you need to remember, what you need to watch.

First, the rankings, along with a fantasy football-inspired style cheat sheet (super short blurb to describe each program digitally)
  1. Duke - 3 sites + hoops Twitter feed. If they can make these work together, watch out!
  2. Virginia - A digital presence from Coach Bennett away from taking on Duke
  3. Clemson - The surprise program, the best at sharing what they stand for
  4. North Carolina - Coach Roy on Twitter, nice original video content
  5. Maryland - Great imagery, great foundation, so-so updating
  6. Florida State - Many ways to stay connected to program, though football is clearly #1
  7. Wake Forest - Some good pieces (blog and desktop app), but need to dive into basketball.
  8. NC State - Blog from the AD + men's and women's sports... but not basketball
  9. Virginia Tech - Coach Greenberg among most active on Twitter
  10. Georgia Tech - Use podcasts and YouTube well, but needs better organization
  11. Miami - Love the "For Recruits" button, just wish a hoops recruit would find something
  12. Boston College - Limited ways to connect with the program
My 3 favorite ACC digital features?
  1. Virginia Social Media call out - I love how they let you know where you can follow Virginia athletics, with this icon:


2. Clemson TV - it's pretty obvious what they stand for, and that D is a big part of it!


3. Duke's Twitter feed - pulling directly into the Duke basketball feature:

Finally, here's my ACC All-Twitter Team (those you should consider following, not those with the highest number of followers):
Coach Oliver Purnell, Clemson
Assistant Coach Chris Collins, Duke
Coach Gary Williams, Maryland
Coach Seth Greenberg, Virginia Tech
Coach Leonard Hamilton, Miami

Honorable Mention:
North Carolina Men's Basketball
NC State Men's Basketball
Dan McDermott, Boston College Video
Duke Blue Planet

Up next?

The PAC 10.

Tune in tomorrow!
