Theo John's Nickname?

[VegasWarrior77]

Did Scoopers miss this or did I miss this nickname being referenced while my wife and I were travelling? 

From Ben Steele's recap of the Marquette 79 - Northern Illinois 70 game 12/18/17:
John, the 6-9 freshman center called "Tarzan" by teammates for his muscle-bound build, pulled down five rebounds in the first 20 minutes, including three on the offensive end, and added two emphatic blocks.

Yeah I think Markus mentioned it in an interview before last season. Never really stuck on Scoop. Not sure if the team still calls him that

[StillAWarrior]

I think McDermott gave him the nickname that should stick: "The Monster"

[jsglow]

Agreed. 'The Monster' is much better.

Taught eye herd, Theo "Flush da" John sumwear, hey?

[CTWarrior]

I prefer the ironic name Little John, like from Robin Hood.

[tower912]

Leroy Brown.   The baddest man in the whole damn town.

I kinda like this

[Milkshakes]

Whenever I refer to Theo I just find myself saying. TheeeO (head shaking)... The dude is a stud.

I don't think he needs a nickname when that comes out so naturally.

[JakeBarnes]

"Big Guy"

I like this. I also liked "Predator," but then remembered that was Crowder's nickname.

When I think of "The Monster" it always makes me think of a book I read to my kids hundreds of times, The Monster at the End of this Book.

I think of Theo as "The Monster at the End of the Lane"

[LloydsLegs]

Agree on little john.

But I always use BEast

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Based on his snapchat, he is a super religious dude.

Maybe something like.....the Bishop?

I just read this to my 6 yo the other night. I do a mean Grover impression.

John the Baptist

[wadesworld]

Thick Theo has been the most obvious nickname ever.

[forgetful]

The Nile. Because Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, it is also Theo in the lane.

[Cheeks]

The name Theodore means God's gift.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Shaft, he's a bad motha...

[brewcity77]

John the Baptist

This or The Theocrat.

[MDMU04]

This or The Theocrat.

Saint John

[NickelDimer]

John the Baptist

This is awesome. Perfect double entendre when he baptizes someone. Only thing is I'd shorten to simply the Baptist.  Make this stick!!

John the Baptist or Little John, I see lots of potential in both.
