Dajon's Twitter Comments

[gradumacated]

I am a Dajon guy. But after seeing his Twitter comments, I'm wondering if he's got the right mentality to lead a FBS program.

He's always had question marks about his attitude and his twitter comments will cement what many think - and certainly can't please Mac.

What are your thoughts?

What were they?

Smacks of "poor me" and an unwillingness to put the work in to be successful. A bit of an entitlement attitude.

Careful Dajon. Your youth is showing.

He's going to lose his team and fan support, with a comment like that. If he doesn't care, then he should have no business on the field. That is if he's talking about football.

I'm not as upset as most about the UAB game due to the fact that he's as young as he is, but seeing posts like this are pretty discouraging. Hope he's able to get his head in the game this weekend and play to the best he can. Dude has so much potential, just needs to play smarter football.

Edit: This is in regards to the 2nd tweet posted. I don't see anything wrong with the 1st one.

"Starting not to care"

we have no idea in what context he is saying this. Could be talking football, could be talking females. who knows....

we have got to let this guy grow. this is all apart of the maturation process. He has to mature just as much mentally as he does physically.

Dajon is hitting the wall many freshmans hit when thrown into starting positions.He's realizing that he cant just out-athlete everybody and force plays to happen. He's probably also regretting not being as focused during spring ball. Part of being a student-athlete is being a student! He's got to study the game, he's got to do his homework. He just has to break through the wall! once he breaks through mentally i believe the football will follow.

did yall see the one the night before the UAB game. Saying he wants to leave school early for the NFL. It's one thing to want that but its another thing to say it the night before his first conference game.

I'm not sure what he's talking about. Is he talking about not caring about football? Or not caring about criticism (which would be good)?

Well that pretty much confirms what I was seeing on his face after he made his last blunder and was sitting on the bench. I thought he looked a bit angry and surly.....and somewhat pouty. Not the look that the leader of a team should have.

I recall another young unt athlete who showed promise who tweeted nearly the same thing his freshman year. His name was Chris Jones.

Guys we have no idea in what context these tweets are regarding. Please step off the ledge. No one has any idea what he is talking about here!

The kid is allowed to Tweet what he wants, but it's not like he lives in a one-way bubble. He knows whatever he tweets is being watched by thousands of fans.

It's a slippery slope. There are reasons that some coaches out there ban their rosters from using Twitter.

I get all that, and it's fantastic that he wants to continue to fight but by tweeting what he wants he leaves himself open to questions such as these - questions which could be easily avoided. I'm reserving judgement, but it's just worth noting.

[KingDL1]

Remember he is young and probably frustrated that is why we have coaches sometimes they need to rein in the more immature ones.

[CMJ]

As someone said...could be about a class. I certainly got to that point in some classes during my time at NT!

"And, kids, don't tweet...the reputation you save may be your own."

[DCSP]

DW is just thinking ahead and trying to get a catch-phrase trademarked for life after football. This indicates a level of maturity we're not giving the young man credit for.

Looking forward to a nice long tailgate and a good game on Saturday. GMG

Baby Momma Issues?

[ChristopherRyanWilkes]

He is young, and this is nothing new for his twitter account for those that follow. Ive had questions about a lot of our football players from following them on twitter, it's why many coaches frown upon even having one.

"And, kids, don't tweet...the reputation you save may be your own."

This is the only thing to take out of this. Anyone in Dajon's shoes would have quick thoughts pass through his head asking, "Is this worth it?" right before assuring himself, "Durn straight, it's worth it." The problem with Twitter--okay one problem with Twitter--is that it publicizes and preserves your most stupid fleeting thoughts for all to see and remember.

Baby Momma Issues?

With my own organ and clusticles, I've fathered two children. And, I can say from experience that diapers, baby wipes, and formula are expensive. To say nothing of the doctor visits for checkups and shots and whatnot.

Did the NCAA change rules to where the schools can now help their student/parent-athletes with such expenses? I'm sure the Criminal 5 are way out ahead of the G5 on this issue as well.

[Got5onIt]

Maybe he's saying he doesn't care about his injuries? Maybe he doesn't care about the public perception of his play? He's young, we have no idea the context of these messages

[untwillrise]

He clearly isn't the leader so which leader, coach, players parent, professor, or friend is going to pull him to the side talk to him and maybe help?
