Please..please...please let that happen. What a spectacular mess that could be.
Someone tell mom that this is her chance to really stick it to Painter.
I don't know if he's said it but it would make sense. He would be a tremendous asset as the 3rd-5th option on a good team. He's had some really good games being the top option at Indiana (was awesome against Kansas for example) but clearly he's not enough to consistently carry them to wins as a top option.
Had me until it says has big # of NIL Offers haha… ur yeah if I were gallo I’d def get out of there.
This one makes Nojel's mom look like Mother Teresa in comparison.
Michael Jordan’s mom turned down a brand new Mercedes from Adidas to sign with Nike. Hope that new car Nojel got is worth it since they are going to miss the tourney this year
"Already has # of big NIL offers."
Unless he is the one who initiated the discussion with other schools, that is the definition of poaching.
I think I do like DGL's mom's stance politically, but man, she has an issue keeping her impulses in check.
Lol, it was actually kind of funny - earlier in the year, she posted a bunch of crazy stuff shit talking Underwood and DGL's playing time and insinuating he would transfer. A lot of us Illini fans were at least mildly concerned ... while we have recruited very well lately (especially the portal), DGL is still a talented kid who has given great effort the times he has been in the game. With Shannon and Hawkins set to depart, there would still be a lot of opportunity for him at Illinois, so a lot of fans were kind of bummed that this was a sign he would for sure transfer. And he posted this right after his mom went nuts on social media:
Obviously, talk is cheap and he could still transfer ... but props to him for at least KIND OF being able to ignore his crazy mom, that would be extremely annoying and difficult as a college kid.
Thanks for the insight from the Illinois side. He certainly has the potential and skill but feel like she is going to hurt his opportunities. We know first hand how an overly talkative parent can sabotage a kids career.
Got some new crazy mom tweets. Got to think he’s going in the portal the minute the season ends.
Helicopter parents have ruined kids. This is just another parent that needs to get off social media and let her kid live his life.
What do you call a parent worse than a helicopter parent cuz she’s worse than that.
Well there are snowplow parents which might be closer to what she is. Granted she is a combo of both plus probably a handful of other things that haven’t been diagnosed yet.
Lots of yappin before the game but a bunch of crickets since
Not saying I looked, because I looked a lot, showed a lot of self control by not saying anything after the loss.
Every time I see this thread title, my mind reads it as: “DGL’s Mom… has got it going on” 😂
Haha. I mean everyone is into something a little crazy
I thought that's why we got Braden... because DGL de-committed. Really worked out well
More then that. She sounds like the type to bring in a pound of Skittles is her couchie on prison visits. Just say’n.
Sorry, every time I see her name mentioned, I think of Marge Green. Marge used to own a WNBA team until her players revolted and the league forced Marge to sell her team because her mouth was too inflammatory.
I think of the Illinois players and coaches as the same as that WNBA team wondering what stupid thing their wonder lady is going to say next.

I'm not exactly sure of the timing because I recall asking Dustin about him and Braden had already committed or I wouldn't have asked Dustin about a Purdue player. I had not seen Dustin (saw his dad some) for many years and my contact started when I learned who Dustin's son was and so I think Braden was already in the fold and maybe DGL was giving signs of decommitting. Otherwise, I don't know why I would have asked Dustin...unless I was just curious what Purdue was losing. I think most of us didn't see him as a typical Purdue fit.I thought that's why we got Braden... because DGL de-committed. Really worked out well
They were in two different classes. We probably wouldn’t have had Lance this year if dgl stay committed.I thought that's why we got Braden... because DGL de-committed. Really worked out well
