Potential First-Round Pick DJ Fluker Tweets About Accepting Money at Alabama

Just days from the 2013 NFL Draft, former Alabama offensive lineman and potential first-round pick D.J. Fluker has posted shocking revelations on Twitter that he accepted money during his college career with the Crimson Tide.
The offensive lineman quickly deleted his controversial comments, but the contents were captured via Landon Howell, Head of Strategy & Content at Fancred.

Sports journalists: What were you dreaming about when you got a call that DJ Fluker did that thing? http://imgur.com/NNC1aVh.jpg

Since then, Fluker's agent, Deryk Gilmore, posted via his personal Twitter account that Fluker's account was hacked and that it will be re-opened after the draft.
Deryk Gilmore @DerykGilmore
To all followers of @DjFluker76 his account has been hacked. We will rue activate his account after the draft.
Which, as we've quickly come to expect from high-profile athletes posting controversial things on Twitter, may mean either that he: a) was actually hacked, or b) said something he shouldn't have said and then couldn't delete the tweet quick enough.
The answer is one we'll never know for sure, but the comments do definitely come at a potentially devastating time for Fluker, Alabama and college football as a whole.
Dan Hope @Dan_Hope
Going to reserve judgment on the D.J. Fluker tweet that may or may not have been a result of a hacker. Shouldn't affect his NFL draft stock.
I can believe @djfluker76 got hacked. Deleted tweet says "wat" twice. In April, Fluker spelled out "what" ~40 times in tweets. "wat": zero.
Still going through revelations that the Auburn football program potentially paid players to remain in college and altered grades, the news that another program may have paid college players when they shouldn't have—especially one that's won back-to-back BCS National Championship Games—would be huge.
The Crimson Tide have already been the subject of controversy throughout recent years, but it's these latest rumors that have the potential to be truly explosive.
What it will do to Fluker's potential draft stock remains to be seen, as he is invited to the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft on Thursday.
The lineman is expected to become the third Crimson Tide offensive tackle to be selected in the first round of the draft in the Nick Saban era, with Bleacher Report's Matt Miller listing him as the No. 21 overall pick in his latest mock draft.

I doubt there will even be a phone call from NCAA re: questioning Fluker. If it were any of AU's first rounders from this year, then they would...well, nevermind.

A lot of people seem to be clinging to Fluker's flawless grammar on Twitter as a solid defense.
For example:
@DjFluker76 19 Apr
All my life I been told.I can't do something.It was always can't.Bt I'm highly motivated.But I'ma show U how great I am #pissedoff4greatness
My agent @DerykGilmore is that dude. He put the work in for his players to be the best. Everything always on time. #ThatsMybrotherForLife
@DjFluker76 15 Apr
@SacManJones_29 aye bra
@DjFluker76 15 Apr
@AndyBailey17 no prib
@DjFluker76 15 Apr
@SacManJones_29 boy you wrong for that I got you
@DjFluker76 15 Apr
@BothLips_PINK people just asking for a lot I ain't even paid yet. Folks got some issues
@DjFluker76 6 Apr
I Can play 4 you or against U.Believe me you don't want to play against "ME" and whatever team get me. I Will make you pay dearly.For 60 min
The Most powerful thing is when some1 believe strongly in you.When others doubt your ability 2 do something.I can't wait 2 shock this world
@DjFluker76 1 Apr
@VDAYismyBDAY you shriek wife so ya point
That's just from this month. Pretty positive he has used "wat" before. The way Twitter's search engine works, it's hard to determine, especially when you tweet as much as he does.
It is simply UNPOSSIBLE that he dropped an H to fit 140 characters.

The agent is doubling down.
'We know who did this,' D.J. Fluker's agent says of alleged Twitter hacker
Don Kausler Jr. | dkausler@al.com By Don Kausler Jr. | dkausler@al.com
on April 23, 2013 at 9:29 AM
TUSCALOOSA, Alabama – The agent for former Alabama football star D.J. Fluker is going beyond saying that a hacker is behind a volatile Twitter message sent early Tuesday morning.
“We know who did this,†said Deryk Gilmore, who represents the right tackle who is expected to be selected Thursday night in the first round of the NFL draft.
“This is totally fiction, but I’m waiting to get some proof. I’ve been on the phone with Twitter.â€
Gilmore did not identify the hacker.
A tweet sent after midnight from Fluker’s Twitter (@DjFluker76) stated:
"Yea I took $ n college so wat. I did wat i had to do. Agents was tryin to pimp me so I pimped them. Cast da first stone."
The tweet quickly was deleted, and Gilmore, who works out of Atlanta for the Chicago firm of Priority Sports and Entertainment, soon sent a tweet that said the account had been hacked. In another tweet, he said the account will be reactivated after the draft.
“I’ll tell you, of course, this wasn’t him,†Gilmore said when reached by phone Tuesday morning. “It was bull (bleep), and it’s a shame. And anyone who believes it was him and wants to believe the worst, you go ahead and do it.
“I mean, my company has an outstanding reputation. This kid, we didn’t even give him a guarantee to sign with us. We gave him nothing. My whole point is that for all the people who are out there saying the worst, let them believe the worst.â€
Gilmore was asked if he understands the toxicity of the Alabama-Auburn rivalry.
“I don’t care about it, man,†he said. “We’ve got people getting blown up in Boston. Bigger things.
“Come on now. This was a kid who was in Hurricane Katarina, who’s been poor all his life, who’s done everything the right way. He could have done everything the wrong way, OK? Let’s root for this kid. Let’s not beat him up.â€
Fluker played his senior year at Foley High School.
I'd love to "get on the phone with Twitter" myself, when it turns out it came from Fluker's phone.

This has nothing to do with the twats about money, but I just love all the "All my life, I been told I couldn't do it....I wasn't no good. Now, I'm motivated...." Heard a lineman from Florida yesterday giving an interview about the draft. "All my life, they said I wouldn't amount to anything...."
Question for you DJ. You're 6'11" 400 pounds, you bench press school busses and eat wild boar that you killed with your bare hands. You've been HS All-State, HS All-American, All-SEC, All-Everything and now you're about to be a first round pick in the NFL. Who in their fucking right mind ever told you that you wouldn't amount to anything? Liar!!!

Eva Longoria tried the whole "someone hacked my tweeter" crap too. And later admitted she lied. Just saying.

I didn't understand what he twatted anyway. All I saw was a $$$ sign and a lot of hippity hop words.

I thought he was wrapping.

I believe it was a hack. Why in God's name would he admit to this on Twitter? Especially the week before the draft.
NO ONE is that stupid, regardless of if their education is from the crapstone.

Something sketchy about him taking it down and having his account back under control 60 seconds after the post was made. Or at least it is to me.

Don't hold ye breath folks, cause nothing will come of this. Its all a big joke, haha.

I'll bet it was that damn Lennay Kekua...she be hacking errybobys twatters

Here's a bottomfeeder-level conspiracy theory for you:
Apropos of nothing, Fluker blurts out that he took money from agents while enrolled at bama. He's been discussing the subject with someone, otherwise why make that statement out of the blue...especially right before the draft? P'raps the NC2A has been over in T'town digging on the many and varied publicized cheating episodes and the recent onslaught of media coverage of the non-stories in Auburn are the head-fake designed to take the eye off the real cheating program in this state.

That sounds like a conspiracy theory concocted by bottomfeeder and Prowler's bastard love child. The bottom line is, if you think that Fluker actually posted that, you're mildly retarded.

When I saw him in Foley around Christmas, he was still driving Julio's old Tahoe. Whether that car in the picture is his or not, I have no idea. I know I wouldn't be driving around that ragged out Tahoe if I had a nicer ride.

It's pretty extensive. Julio's mom still works at KFC, so I'm sure there are players that get free chicken too. With as much as Julio was getting paid at Alabama, the impermissible chicken benefits for players had to be the only reason she was keeping a job and driving a Kia.

With Julio's mom still workin at KFC, she must've worked a lot of overtime to pay for Julio to go to Miami multiple times, to party...round trip tickets aren't cheap, neither are Hotel stays (provided he didn't stay at the Agent or Booster's house).
