Tennessee fans embarrass themselves following tweet regarding Vols’ interest in elite high school prospect

[BeardedVol]

Wish we could agree as a fanbase, to just not follow recruits on Twitter....

If you ever find yourself with your phone in your hands about to tweet something negative at a recruit, stop, reconsider your life, and delete that tweet.

That was stupid.

Who cares. Every team has yayholes.

That is probably the worst part of vol twitter, the ones that comment and follow teenage attention seekers.

If a kid gets swayed one way or the other because of what some person he’s never met says on Twitter, then the kid is a flake.

Tennessee fans are a very easy target. There is some looking in the mirror to do on this too.

No. I don't tweet at any recruits. All I'm saying is every team has them. As soon as a recruit picks a school the fans of schools not picked will tweet their venom.

These coaches work hard to try to get these players to come in. Probably could’ve had a chance, but this sickening stuff probably got him on the verge of going now. This has got to stop.

If he plays anything like his brother, I would love to have him!

 

[vols1707]

Fans acting like that to that kid are a big part of how the program is perceived nationally.

 

[bigorangecrush89]

People tweet kids they don't know, about coming to a school they likely never attended, to play a meaningless game that they themselves likely never played.

Not as good as his brother. Although, I wouldn’t ever tweet that to him. One: because I’m a grown man. Two: he’s a big dude.

What does it say about the so called adult who is swayed enough to comment on what some teenager who they have never met says on Twitter

Hello Donnie.

Probably a lot less than it says about the person who doesn’t use punctuation.

Dave, I’m sorry about the punctuation issues. I hope you were able to discern the idea in the fog of the word jumble.

 

[casetopia]

wait some people on twitter don't say nice things? oh my.

It’s ok? Sometimes! I make mistakes too,

Any kid that grew up with constant access to the internet and social media does not get upset with trolls. This is just something recruits are using to recruit for the school they have chosen. Every fan base has its idiots and every fan base has fans who pretend to be rival fans and try to troll.

 

[utvolpj]

though it’s important to note that this seemingly is only a small portion of the fanbase:

Even the article didn't oversell it as much as this thread

Cant blame Cade for doing what he did and Twitter is an idiotic cesspool.
