Mr. Curbelo is at an important stage in his life path and hopefully he decides what is best for him ..........
Is this decision based on.................................
How he feels about himself ??..............................
How he feels about the Illini ??
How he feels about not playing in the second half of the UH game ??
How he feels about his role on this squad ??
How he feels about social media and his treatment there ??
How he feels about NIL and could he make more somewhere else ??
The questions this young man is probably pondering right now seems a little overwhelming to many , but it brings back memories to me of my life at his age and if I made the right decisions then .........LOL........Well , no I didn't make the BEST decision but sometimes the best decisions to make are not available at that certain time in life ............................
What I worry about more than his staying or leaving is ..................Is he mature enough to make the correct decision for him ........??...................
I have stated in earlier posts about my excitement regarding the new makeup of the Illini team next year .........I truly am anticipating a refreshingly different cast of players and view it as a new springtime look as to new flowers sprouting and it's our duty to nurture them and make sure they nurture
us so the connection is mutually beneficial to both.......
The new scene now in college sports is really confusingly different for me being as old as I am , so sometimes I get it , then sometimes I wonder if I woke up in a parallel universe where all the things growing up with NIL were violations . to now a wild wild west approach and being one of the major factors in making a college destination decision........
Belo needs a major dose of maturity , IMHO ...................................Was he allowed to much rope in his time here so far ?.....Has it gotten to the point where he
isn't repairable ??.................................Has it been explained why he missed the team meeting or is it as it sounds like he's gone ??
Another day in the life of an Illini fanatic........................................I LOVE IT !!!!..............................better than any soap opera or tv sitcom ........We are invested in the characters , and get to voice our opinions on a forum of other Illini fanatics..........................Yep , I LOVE IT
Carry on fellow fanatics ...............................peace....................................
