Everyone talks about DJ's evolution from last year to this year--physically, personally and mentally. They talk about his personal/mental issues as if everyone knows what those are. Does everyone except TXTF know what those are? What happened? Did his parents divorce? Where's Big Dave? He use to be everywhere.

it looks like DJ started distancing himself from Big Dave during the season last year. We'll probably never know all the gory details, but my best guess is that he's the college-level equivalent of those parents that stand behind the dugout at youth baseball games helping you coach with the benefit of all their overwhelming sports wisdom. Think LaVar Ball without a shoe company here. I sort of think we didn't go after Matayo very hard because Dave seemed to have shifted his attention away from DJ to little brother and we definitely don't need 3 or 4 more years of that going on around our program.

Rumor

Big D put hands on his wife (DJ's mom), leading to separation or divorce. Ma D is seeing other dudes. Big D showed his ### at CU over something (not sure what) and was told to stay away.
Again, rumor.

DJ has 100% cut out his dad from his life. Guy is a bad dude, and not in the good way.

Bodyguard to the star rappers is usually a role model only slightly just below Jesus. I'm shocked it turned out this way.

Tells you pretty much all you need to know. Last year was bad. His behavior on Twitter has improved of late, but last year it was not good.

short bit. Dude was the last guy out of the locker room and is super nice. He talked with my family, signed jerseys, talked with kids, gave lots of time. Glad he's doing better in the head.
