[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.

 

[UCLJ0211]

Junior County sounds like a name of a lockdown defender

 

[Conndog]

Looks like Andre!

 

[Husky Alien]

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?

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

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

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.
