I said it at the time of his decommit. Mostly agree with your post, which was a very good post, but some of this stuff recruits/parents/whoever else bring this on themselves. If you don't want people/others constantly in your business or constantly speaking about you.... either 1. don't give them anything to speak about 2. Stop putting yourself in the limelight so much. All of what you said can be true, plus those two things. There is absolutely 100% no law that makes these kids post CONSTANTLY about themselves on these sites, or expose themselves. It's mind boggling to think how many issues I (we at school) resolve DAILY from shit that stemmed from social media. I thought @Hoosier82's post was completely true myself. I also think yours is as well. I also think that some parents try to live their lives through their kids. Or try to attain their dreams through their kids. In this world we live in where sports can produce generational money leads to parents perhaps thinking irrationally. I wonder if this mom is concerned about her son's higher education? Is she concerned about how her comments might affect her son? I don't know the answers to those questions but I wonder. Purdue dodged a bullet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately, I highly doubt that post made anything better for DGL. And be damn sure if I were an opponent I would be making a "mommys facebook post" comment if I played him. Alls fair in war. 🤷♂️ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

go_iu_bb Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 I don't really have a problem talking about other teams' recruits or, in this case, ex-recruits, but it is surprising that this conversation is still going on like a week or more later. He's not going to play for either of the Indiana B1G schools. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotIThatLives Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 Mods. Is there a function to be able to disable entire threads? Like blocking a user and never seeing them again? I wish this kid well but I would love to put this thread to bed, along with many others over the years. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understan your point. But visitors are welcome, and our visitors are typically very respectful. I have said it before, the conversations only continue because members engage in it. So some people enjoy the back and forth As long as it stays within the rules, I have no problem here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s creepy and inappropriate at best, boarder-line criminal at worst. I won’t criticize this lady for her comment because having to read the awful things about her son online is something I thankfully haven’t had to endure. Rather than call her crazy for her response perhaps some reflection on what would drive her to such public comments is in order. All fan bases are guilty of it and it’s sad. This is a game played by kids, more people need to act accordingly Agree to a degree, but in the instance of this kid, it is a game played by teenagers with their hand out for money.

I don't know about all of yall but i literally read every thread. Would love to never see this one again for instance, peguins and all. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
