I don't do Twitter either. Her posts are all through this forum though, embedded into different threads. That's how I saw them.
She basically went off anytime she thought DGL didn't get the playing time he deserved. She went at it with Purdue fans who were pissed he decommitted from them to come here. She's a mama bear on steroids who wants to defend her son (totally understandable!) but does it in the worst, most public way possible (Twitter). DGL had to come out during the season and tell people that unless it comes from him, we shouldn't believe anything about him and his relationship at Illinois.
She wants good things for her son. I can't blame the woman for that. But she makes headlines when she shouldn't.
Thanks to you both. I wish I could see a future for him with us, but his offensive shortcomings are too profound.Nickname is Buck because he’s from the Buckeye State. Teammate(s) gave him that nickname.
Fair enough, good point made as well that we need to make sure the guys we bring in while having loads of talent are good culture fits.Where did I say any of that? I never said anything about not making the second weekend ever. I also didn't say we aren't winning in my preferred way. I said that while the portal can be great we cannot lose our identity. Certain players fit that identity, and have contributed to winning(you need both of those). There are plenty of negative posters on this board and you can feel free to reply to them, but nothing I said is off the wall. If we want to have a consistent program then we need to cultivate and retain personalities/players that fit.
This is the most obvious April fools joke I’ve ever seen lmao cmon, why on earth would Bronny James transfer to PENN STATENot our recruiting but interesting

Smart woman in that regard, anywayUhh, that would probably get someone perma-banned. She has a rather high dislike of Purdue.
This belongs in the basketball uniform threadeveryone complaining how we're going about this wrong or how NIL is ruining things, after we've had our most successful season in almost 20 years:
Illinois Basketball Historic Standards
I like the original system from @21ChampaignSt for assessing actual health of the program / coach performance / etc. (i.e., how Whitman should be grading a coach) and the alternate from @Navy_illini for how the bulk of the fanbase probably perceives/remembers the success of a season. Nice work...www.illinoisloyalty.com
says it's not our most successful season. nsjs. the criticism is founded in legitimate concerns backed by facts.
From a fan perspective, I feel more invested in a player like Coleman who stays for 4 years, vs 1 and dones like Guerrier or Harmon, who may be great people but I never got to know much about them. Part of the fun as a fan is watching guys grow and develop from skinny freshman to dead-eye veteran, and all the ups and downs along the way. At the end of the day I want to win, but changing out all your stalwarts for hired guns every season weakens that fan/player bond.
Which, overall, BU and Co. have done a good job at this so I don't know why you are bringing it up.
I like Goode as well but he won't ever be more than a 7-8th player (2nd or 3rd off the bench) on a strong team. He's a good culture guy but if he hits 10 points in a game we all cheer. With a much more dynamic Rodgers on the team and a Buck as well, how many low-scoring guys can you play? Plus Goode is a heavy-footed weak defender who punches above his weight at rebounding and diving for balls, but coverage is suspect.On Goode, I hope he wants to return, and that Brad is thrilled about that. I'd like to see him one more year. I think he does a lot of things well, things a team needs to win.
MFA - saxophone.What's the latest on Coleman?
Oh I have seen those in the other threads and during the season, I thought you meant it was something that is currently saying.I don't do Twitter either. Her posts are all through this forum though, embedded into different threads. That's how I saw them.

I have a hard time with this talk about him.. Him and Trent were always supporting each other after he left and his dad was on here a bunch before the season 2 years ago and seemed like a great guy.Don't like that attitude either, but based on his post-Illinois body of work he was not far off.
Totally agree, I was just responding to the other poster's comment. I only saw positive things regarding Podz while here but am certainly no insider.I have a hard time with this talk about him.. Him and Trent were always supporting each other after he left and his dad was on here a bunch before the season 2 years ago and seemed like a great guy.
Haven't heard that pun for almost 50 years - thought it was Milt Famey though.I offer a toast to Milwaukee and the beer that made Mel Famy walk us! Great area, so clean, and the best hockey announcer of all time, Lloyd Pettit, was a Miwaukee fixture after his Blackhawks days. Great zoo, too. Wait a sec - got to refill glass ... and that great German restaurant downtown.

Is that a sincere question??Okay, I give up. Who is Buck?
It was Monster !Hopefully the staff learned from the Matthew Mayer experience. To see him chuckling about playing video games and drinking red bulls into caffeine poisoning was embarrassing. I get the everyday guy mantra. To me though Brad and staff can be like we want you but you are going to have to compete for playing time and rotational minutes. If an everyday culture guy isn't down with that they should leave. Playing time is not guaranteed based on seniority it is based on production.
