The most impressive part of this is his signature - I never knew people actually used traditional cursive these days!!

I would love to see DGL drop down a level. Maybe an Illinois State or Indiana State. I think he would really thrive there. Not sure a 6’1 off guard can play a lot of minutes at a high division 1. Still loved the kid and I hope he has success wherever he lands.

As long as he doesn't go to IU, Michigan, or Mizzou.

Love DGL. But at end of day he was an undersized 6'1 guy who is more of a combo than a true PG. Wasn't a particularly good shooter and lacked consistency on both ends of the floor. Against high level comp got exposed on defense despite trying to play high energy/pressure on the ball. He showed some great offensive flashes throughout this year. Given his athletic ability he has a chance to really thrive as a scorer in more of a mid-major/low high major (MWC) type league imo. Hope he goes and kills it.

Honestly, yes even if he went to Michigan.
I don't think he needs to drop down a level to thrive. I think he can showcase himself in a middling program of a power 5 conference like a Georgia, TCU, or Stanford.

Great young Man and a very classy guy.
With ND struggling and being from Indiana I wonder about the Irish. I am not an Irish fan at all but thats the type of thing could see.
My prediction? Against Illinois Morez will either sit for most of the game or foul out. Kid is a foul machine. Pretty easy to get fouls out of him.
That is a huge drop imo that you are suggesting. I think something more like VCU/Dayton or top tier American Conference team.
Or if he’s willing to go out West like a Utah State/UNM/SDSU
Or almost anywhere in the ACC…
Not good enough to start at a Power 3 imo.
I’m hoping for Bradley.

He should transfer to Ball State, play exclusively point guard and work on his point guard skills and defense. If he improves enough he could transfer up to another power conference team but probably best he plays his last two years at a mid-major. He is making a mistake if he transfers to another power conference team like Louisville.
DGL - you will be missed by Illini Nation.

Hope he finds a great landing spot and I appreciate all he did here.

I don’t think he needs to drop down to as far as the other poster said, but I think he’d be much better served if he went to a top level mid major. There he could certainly have a strong possibility of carving out a 25-32 minute role. He might also get a chance to play the point some and expand his skills.
I know people love him in here, but we’re talking about a 6-1 off guard who is a career 41% shooter and 25% from 3. Reasonable chance at a middling P5 school his role only increases slightly. Move down a bit, increase chances of starting and having a big role, and build up that resume.

Probably obvious given my handle but Kenny and it's not close. Does NOT mean I don't love Ty too!

I don't think dad will get his underwear in a bunch, because he and it are full of
, and this was all about the $$$.Interesting. They needed more from both him and Colvin this year and now both are gone.
I guess they will try and replace both via the portal but will be interesting who they can afford. If the numbers being thrown around for Smith are accurate not sure how much they will have left, particularly because I am sure TKR will want his piece as well.
