Does anyone know if Williams has any older brothers or sisters?

I saw his mother posted on FB a post that sorta implied she was pregnant with him at 15 and said she is now 45…which would make him about 30. Unless she was talking about one of his older siblings.

Through sources, I’ve confirmed that he’s 72 years old.

Memphis is a school filled with 1st generation college students, kids looking for a second chance, working parents, & kids who have to work their way through college. If ever there were a school where age simply does not matter, its here.
What I appreciate about DeAndre is his work ethic & how much better our team is with him on the floor: He just has to find a way to remain on the floor, longer.

Doesn’t he have an older brother who’s a sophomore on the Marquette team?

They said in the bama game DeAndre was the oldest player in college hoops.

About a dozen times.

Feels like every game the commentators mention his age about a dozen times.

Well then he's got a year or two on me. I can relate to his back issues and cranky disposition

DeAndre’s mother is frustrated & simply defending her son. The announcers take constant pot shots at him & its wrong. UT had a player, John Fulkerson, who was 25, and I don’t remember hearing a word about his age.

DeAndre was a non qualifier who didn’t start playing college ball until 2019. When he transferred, he had options to go to UK, Arkansas & Baylor. Somehow, I get the feeling if DeAndre we at one of those schools, there would be fewer jokes about his age.

Again, once or twice & its a human interest story about determination & perseverance; but the constant remarks are a mockery… I do not blame Ms Wliiams a bit.

Did you sit and watch every UT game that year?

If not how do you know that it wasn't mentioned often that year?

His lack of control of his emotions despite his age makes it a legitimate remark.

Maybe he should consider the Kolinahr.

I’ve watched enough to know I was shocked to read he was 25.
I think every college basketball fan in America is aware of DeAndre’s age.

Thanks for the example of the lack of class you mentioned earlier.

They clown on Stetson Bennet's age, too.

I mean, the guy is 26 years old. It's going to continue to be mentioned.

The irony of your third remark is beyond classic.

Ike really doesn’t care how old the Dude is, the Dude can Ball

His age is going to be mentioned because it is very unusual. It is what it is. I have no problem with that. And I don't recall hearing an instance where it was scoffed at. So....it's all good to me.

The comments on him drawing social security are just a little demeaning.

What's his career high? He was an offensive machine tonight.

went over 1000 career points

Not THAT hard to do in a 17 year career
