Also on the team is John Dawson lol. I always hoped Dom would get a chance in the NBA and I hope he dominates the G League and gets a shot in the league.

DJ is the old man of that team by quite a ways.

Wally Ellenson and Derrick Wilson didn't make the cut on their respective teams.

I thought he had changed his last name to Wright, the name of his estranged father.

What's going to happen to his balloon business?

Some were skeptical that his Wisco past would affect his coverage, but here he is only directing MU fans to "decent" not great BBQ.

I heard it floated away. Then again, the guy who told me that was full of hot air.

Didn't even realize he's been playing since the whole balloon thing.  But looks like he had spent a few years in Qatar.

Always loved DJ.  If I remember correctly, his National Basketball Association draft stock was decently high after his freshman year.

Never improved his J or he would've been in The League. Maybe the best lockdown on ball defender in MU's history.

Too bad he didn't have another year under Buzz to improve his game. Buzz put the triplets in roles they could succeed in versus Crean. That broken foot was such a silencer, even to this day.

It was. Probably late 1st early 2nd. He was on another level athletically. Definitely able to guard NBA 1s. But yeah the jump shot never developed and he wasn't a good enough creator on offense to make the league. Still one of my favorite players of all time.

His last shot before he broke his foot was a perfect 3.  His block against Tennessee and his spike block to end the Wisconsin game were awesome.  I was at the Valparaiso game.  That was an elite 8 team before his injury.

Dominic had 4 points and 2 assists in 5 minutes in the Swarm's win tonight.
