[Waquoit]

Offered yesterday.

By us?

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Choices were made.

I’ve never questioned a nickname less.

 

[superjohn]

Choices were made.

His parents went with the other spelling, maybe they are Kentucky fans.

Idk that nickname could be pretty questionable if his dad’s name isn’t Adolph

His dad’s name is Adolph.

Is Adolph (I know it's spelled differently than the other one) still a common name in Germany/Austria these days? Seems like a bizarre choice...even if it is a family name

 

[UCLJ0211]

Junior County sounds like a name of a lockdown defender

 

[Conndog]

Looks like Andre!

It’s sad but it was also a very common Jewish name prior to WW2.

Also popular in Italy (Adolfo) and around Europe.

There's an article on him on 247Sports today. Does it say anything about UConn in there?

By us?

That's what the X posting above says. Also, he's listed under UConn in Verbal Commits as being offered.

 

[SoFla Steve]

Reminds me of Brisco County, Jr. As I recall, Dixie was hot!

Can’t imagine it’s common, but I recall cold calling a guy repeatedly named Wes Hitler. Never got their business, but it would have been a lucrative enough account to put up with him maintaining his surname.

I used to work with a guy whose first name was N*zi. I am not kidding. He was Filipino though. Just super unfortunate lol

I think this would be the exception to that rule.

This thread will likely be forwarded to young Mr. County by the Yahoos recruiting staff.........
you can tell it's summer and everybody has too much time on their hands and a major case of withdrawal from the season!

Not the usual talk about how he needs to bulk up and whether he brings the ball down as he's shooting.
