Overrated, what plenty of scoopers will be saying when he only has 10 points and 5 rebounds in his first game.

He shouldn't have a nickname.
Let the kid enjoy the experience and don't go overkill on it. Dead serious. Nicknames like these will give some the impression he walks on water, which is unfortunate. There will be some that will carve statue figurines and put them next to their bed. Whatever. Cool to be excited about a nickname. I hope that fans will let him enjoy the experience, one can already tell by this thread and others that the expectations are not always linked to reality....that's my concern, especially when talking about 18 year old kids. Some people expect too much....it's fandom, I get it. To each their own.
It's one of the reasons I didn't put his name in my username...I wanted to treat him no differently than any other recruit. TEAM is the name of the game, no I in team. An exceptional talent, no doubt. Hope he enjoys MU, I trust he will.

Ha I'm fine with that narrative
How about Buzz's gift?
Ellenson is not here if Buzz is.
Pumpkin pants it is. Have no idea what that means, but certainly better than the two entries of Donkey Teeth.

Is Buzz here if Vander stays for his senior year? So maybe he's Vander's gift. Or maybe he's Bo's gift for giving us Vander. Come to think of it, Bo gives us Vander, who gives us Buzz's departure, who gives us Ellenson. We are all Bo's puppets.

I think it's a nod to JFB.

Thank Crean for leaving and giving us buzz! And IU for needing to attract a "top" coach from marquette because they need to win like they used to with bobby knight so really we should thank bobby knight... Who's also coach K's mentor who's coach wojo's mentor!

Donkey Teeth is just such a great name that it deserves a second mention. I'm actually partial to Brocktune. I tried to make that happen for Jimmy Butler a few years back, but JFB won out. I'm still a little bummed about that one.

You know, we could just keep using the First name-Fn-Last name. It could be like the No. 1 jersey for Michigan Football.

My friends kept trying to name him (and still refer to him as) Peanut. I love ya, Jimmy, but you have kind of a peanut head.
NO GO for peanut, HE man or oh -henry. I can just hear Homer calling the plays saying Oh-henry!
I LOVE the HE-man nickname.
Any chance we can get him to get that signature Prince Adam of Eternia bowl cut? That thing is epic. Legendary. I would donate a lot of money to charity to see this happen.
And Bo Ryan kind of looks like Skeletor, to boot
