[MU Buff]

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

Oh Henry


Hank the Tank


Personally, Henry Ellenson seems fine to me

beat me to it- henry or ellenson or henry ellenson should be adequate-no disrespect, just let the kid do his thing-looking forward to him!  welcome henry!  where's eddie doucette when ya need him though-the "electric eye" II?  he'll have to earn that one and i'm confident he will

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.

Point center 3000 was so stupid I almost spit water out laughing

You're right, of course.

You do realize that reinko is goofing on the bail bondsman, right?

It sounds like it would be Hologram Al's offspring.

Ha I'm fine with that narrative

How about Buzz's gift?

Ellenson is not here if Buzz is.

[We R Final Four]

Pumpkin pants it is.  Have no idea what that means, but certainly better than the two entries of Donkey Teeth.

[wadesworld]

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.

So, is that a chemistry thing, or a Superman's family name thing, or...???

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.
