Sad that so many of you have BAS and wonder why recruits don't finish with us...

Grow up and welcome people committed to coming to A&M whether they are athletes or not.

Old Army created a welcoming Howdy environment... let's keep it that way.

Tate has done more recruiting for 2017 than just about anyone.

Who was hating and why?

Anyone can get a twitter account and act as they wish, including acting as fans of another school.

This is pathetic. He has done nothing to wrong us in any way and he is receiving hate.

Is he talking about TexAgs? Or twitter idiots?

this. Hopefully he realizes they are either just idiots (small but vocal) or actually fans of another school posing as A&M fans.

I wish everyone (us, recruits, players, etc.) would realize the internet is a lie.

It's sad that people care enough about a recruit to post something dumb...but it's equally as dumb to read and care about those types of posts.

Can he not figure out he's getting trolled by other schools fans?

Yeah you gotta be pretty weak in this day in age to care about any of that ****

There were plenty of people lashing out at him on TexAgs.

Many Ags saying some pretty stupid things.

A&M offered a QB out of Hawaii for 2017 and Tate made a statement he later deleted.

Someone on here has claimed Tate continues to chat with Spav... and some claims that people question his loyalty to A&M and will flip to Cal with Spav.

Out of all that, people have taken their frustration with KA, KM, Brandon Jones, et al, out on him.

I agree anyone can twitter, but my guess is there have been Ag Tags on TexAgs questioning him.

I guess you are claiming your own guilt.

As someone who has kids whom I hope go to A&M... yeah, I care about who is interested in A&M and how they get treated. I don't care so much about him as an athlete, as much as him as a student.

My kids tell me all the time about kids and teachers who like Baylor or the Sips, who talk down A&M. It is one thing for non-Aggies to do it, but for Ags to do it, is pretty sorry, IMO.

Sorry if I care...

The world was a better place before social media.

Suggesting a recruit may follow a fired coach, whom he is close to, to another school is not hating on him. Not even close. I have not seen a single "hateful" post on TexAgs about Tate, ever.

I'm not sure what Tate is referring to, but I'm sure he's mature enough to realize that every school has a few idiots. Not a single exception out there. Plus, as has been pointed out, rivals often masquerade on social media to undermine another school.

Tate's a bright young man who I'm sure has it all figured out.

This is a myopic view of recruiting. Recruits that flip happen all the time to every school. Alabama had more de-commits this year than we did. Should they panic? We flipped a Florida State kid at the last minute, should they panic too? It's just the nature of recruiting lately. ESPN had an article on it.

Seems to me the OP is very interested in stirring the pot. Makes me wonder.

The opinions you read from people coming after you on Facebook/Twitter/TexAgs are from stupid people.

If someone mentions someone personally through any of these online mediums, that text can be immediately ignored and disregarded as coming from a no-life dullard who has nothing better to do than find ways to ferry insults toward teenage athletes. Sadly, there are many of these people at all institutions and with continually rising access to the internet, they will persist in blathering idiocy at anyone who makes themselves available to their slanders.

The people on Twitter literally don't matter. Anyone who takes care of themselves and does their own thing can rest assured there are many more normal people who just don't take the time to all caps their approval in the way angry types deliver their message.

Ags, remember that billboard in Gainesville in 2012? It was almost assuredly either sips or Baylor, and probably the former - posing as us. It happens. We just need to make sure Tate understands that.

Kind of funny that he put "already" in there.

I don't even expect for him to sign here honestly. I think Spav might sway him or USC might finally break through.

This young man has been rock solid in his commitment to A&M and has been as loyal as possible.

How could Ag hate on him?

It will most likely turn out to be sip trolls, and I sure as hell hope it isn't really an Ag.

Good Luck young man!

The only negative things I have seen the Zoo post about Tate is comments about his height and comparison to KM being too small for the SEC. Also, some were making fun of him wearing his jersey up to show his stomach. Others have made comments about the talent level he plays against compared to Texas high school big school football.

Not much else. Most if not all are just hoping he signs and plays ball here.

I agree with most of this post. But you might be missing the fact 18 year olds don't have the same filter as people who have been around longer. Most, not all, of them take way more offense to some random internet poster then perhaps you or I would and it could actually sway their decision on which school to attend.
Sounds stupid, because it is, but remember that's apparently why Rojo came on here in February of 2015 and made false promises of all these commits we were getting, just so everyone would chill out and stop posting hateful things towards Daylon Mack and his family.

Pretty much what I'm thinking as well

It'll be interesting if the sips start recruiting him. Then we will know

OH, But I thought recruits don't care about social media and message boards like this one....

Yep. None of this matters until it does

Any Aggie who is being an ******* to Tate should turn in their ring immediately. That's unacceptable. Tate has been the most loyal recruit I've ever seen.

Stop worrying about what 16 year olds post on twitter, be a grown up.

He should grow thicker skin.
