BTown24 Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Is comedic gold right now. One player's Mom ranting on the board about her son leaving the program (which was then deleted), and now grown men begging said Mommy to "please don't let her son leave." "We need him." "He's a linchpin." Lmao. Grown men on their little message board knees over an 18 year old. Typical mid-level program shenanigans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW_Hoosier Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Lol, which board and which player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Nojel Eastern. 6'6 PG from North Side of Chicago. 4 star recruit. Time will tell if poster truly was telling the truth. I can tell you that 2-3 parents of current and former Illini parents were active on certain boards. Kendrick Nunn's Mom blasted Groce on twitter followed by a quick delete saying he was leaving. Ultimately he did leave. Of course being a native I can say this. Chicago parents are a different breed when it comes to their sons getting playing time. Every single one of them think they raised the next Isiah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier82 Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Gold and Black. The main thread was deleted but in the Top 20 Team thread it still has “his mom’s” post saying he’s leaving. Other posters claim it’s most likely her given past posts. Treed1967 is her handle. I really feel bad for the kid if all this really is true.

FKIM01 Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 That forum is hilarious entertainment to read...and yes, treed is a player's mother. I thought it was Nojel but wasn't sure before now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens a lot of places Being active on social media is one thing. Posting in a forum that her son is going to transfer is entirely different. IMHO, even if it is 100% accurate, I still find it inappropriate. It creates an unnecessary distraction for the team, and she stole her kids thunder. Let him announce his own decisions, he is an adult after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stlboiler23 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 No idea why a parent of a player would post on a board. Way too many crazy posters out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parents of college kids period know how to use the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think, Crean recruited Nunn AND Leron Black pretty heavily. We dodged a couple bullets there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierhoopster Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 ^^ Troy's mom had her own social media unhappy moment.... Tijan Jobe's mom used to post on our old forum, and one (former) poster used to give her a hard time. If you know a parent posts on the board, do not call that person out, and when posting take a moment to think of what it would be like to be a parent of a player playing for IU, in good times and bad, that's some serious scrutiny, with people judging your kid. Yes if the parent participates he or she should understand that people are going to talk / post about their kid, but that has to be a difficult thing to deal with at times. A little perspective and courtesy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
