Dominic To Declare?

They are called spoiled current students who don't' know how bad it was.

MU Freak, you cannot be serious.  Some people argue that players shouldn't be boo'd on the court.  Booing someone while walking down the street is way out of line.  The degree of stupidity in the world today never ceases to amaze me.

Here's hoping a Milwaukee County Bus stopped the booing!  Okay, maybe that might be a little harsh.

I'm convinced that if all of you saying that DJ has NO chance at being drafted in the first round would have studied guys who went 22-32 the last 5 years, with the level of scrutiny that you put into DJ you would have thought that 80% of them wouldn't get drafted in the first round.  There are teams out there with full time PG's who need a back up and it only takes one of those teams to think that DJ has the ability to become a starter after a few years of riding the pine.

dominic has always had problems with  his jumper..free throws..and decision making....seen the kid play at a ymca game and he couldnt have been older than 8..same issues as way back then...faster with the ball and more talented than anyone on the floor but height..decision making... free throws..all the same....i remember walking out of some of his games in h.s. and saying wow hes athletic and a great passer..then get in the car turn on the radio and hear he had 8 boards and 25 points...sneak up on you...

dj has always been told that he "cant"...everyone has always said hed never play d-1...then they said he couldnt be "successful" at d-1 level..people in indiana thought he went to mu because he wouldnt have had gotten any p.t. at the big ten schools...msu..osu..purdue..absurd!!!!then after his soph year..all the sudden he can in peoples eyes..in fact he is expected to be highly successful...success is often 1's biggest enemy

hate to say it...but i hope he declares ...goes into pre-draft workouts and tanks em...bad...then g-m's and scouts will be sayin he cant again..then we will see the real dominic james..i believe the cants is what has driven dj as far as he has gone..all this feel good stuff gets under my skin...somehow i think this will light a fire in his belly again

You couldn't be more right Truth. His freshman year he played with a chip on his shoulder because Indiana didn't want him and he wanted to prove he deserved Mr. Basketball over Luke Zecker. Then this year everyone was telling him how good he was and he lost that edge. Maybe he is the type of player who always needs to have that chip on his shoulder to produce.

...Maybe he is the type of player who always needs to have that chip on his shoulder to produce.

hmmm...who else was like that?  didn't have the slump, but he STILL plays with a chip on his shoulder...wade...

there are worse role models.

(and before anybody gets all squirrelly, the ONLY comparison i am making is about motivation.  wade has stated numerous times that the ones who said he COULDN'T do something are the ones that he strives to disprove - every day, every practice, every game.)

Hello MU fans, this is Dominic.

I just want to have Cracked Sidewalks be the first place to announce my intentions: I'll be putting my name in the 2007 NBA draft. I want to explore all of my opportunities and thanks to Coach, I'm going to do that by not getting an agent.

So there you go everybody. You heard it hear first on Cracked Sidewalks.

Wish me luck and GO MU!

"you heard it hear"   -  well it is my firm hope that he comes back to MU for another season or two and does not go to the NBA until he is ready to step onto that arena to dominate.   And while he is at MU, he refine his grammar.  Not sure this is from DJ, my guess is MU would have reviewed/edited any release.
