PSA: Do NOT Tweet at recruits

[Will Baizer]

As the time between now and National Signing Day dwindles I would like to remind all of you of one thing.
 
DO NOT TWEET AT RECRUITS
 
[SIZE=13.5135135650635px]I know this won't come as news to any of you lovely people on this board. Just something I had to get off my chest after the past few weeks.[/SIZE]
 
Especially after today's events (OTL story about Baylor rapes of 2012) that were brought to light by StringSays on twitter of Longhorns fans flaunting the rape news to Patrick Hudson

Come [SIZE=13.5135135650635px]on [/SIZE]yall...

 
 
 
 
Don't get mad at StringSays of Good Bull Hunting for point out something Longhorn fans did because he's an Aggie writer because it "Wasn't an indictment on horns just shitty fans in general."  And he's right
 
Now that's where we delve into a few of my favorite ways to remember whether or not you should tweet at recruits
 
Red Cup Rebellion made a clock to see if it's time to tweet at recruits

Maize and Brew also did an entire PSA on tweeting at recruits
 
Somebody even made this helpful flowchart of whether you should tweet at recruits
 

 
So please don't end up looking like this jackass here [SIZE=13.5135135650635px]and don't tweet at recruits... ever... or if you do... just don't.[/SIZE]

Can you hear me now?

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Everyone needs to read this. 

 

[tejasrulz]

Everyone needs to read this.

I didn't read it but I don't tweet.

 

[Epictetus]

Follow but don't tweet much in general. Never at, or part of, a recruit's account.

I think this is aimed at one of our former members that is a self proclaimed high roller in Dubai/UAE and uses colorful centered fonts, Keep Calm memes and branded logos in his posts.

Just wouldn't be a quality thread without a negative reference to our former esteemed HS member, stalwart, and run on poster.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

For the record, I reject the term "stalwart" used in that instance.

 

[shotime73]

I'm Twitter stupid lol so I wouldn't know how to tweet

Negative?  No.  It's more like accurate.

smh

 

[Johnstark23]

Good ol Winston the butterfly. Never an opportunity to show his ass he didn't take.

 

[UTK66]

Good work Joey. That's one account I assure you I won't be following. 

 

[joeywa]

These kids have enough on their plates with school work, fielding calls and texts from college coaches and the recruiting websites, and from every local guy that knows them that is a fan of team X where they want the kid to go telling them whenever they see he kid out on the town.

Random "fans" on Twitter sending tweets to recruits is over the top.

I hadn't thought about him in a long time. Here's a private message he sent me once after I asked him to post in English.

It's "many of my great pals from far away places" or maybe "in far away places". As per usual, your constant misunderstanding of how and where to use "upon" overshadows the points you are trying to convey and makes your posts unreadable. I hereby request that you start posting in English. 

please hurry and get your countryfied plano ass on over to your local SERVICE KING COLLISION REPAIR CENTER!  you have just collided with the wrong HS member.   it now seems as though, you are​

hereby experiencing a brain leak.  additionally, before you take the initiative to start handing out ENGLISH LESSONS... please get your country ass out of plano, tx.  you just may inspire some​

form of credibility.... ​
