Bouk needs a nickname

[browndog319]

Maybe not so much a nickname as a shirt for when he’s playing:
Raining Boukets
Give umbrellas to the other team cause their gonna get soaked

 

[Palatine]

What about "Jim."

 

[Vancat]

 

[8893]

What about "Jim."

Or "Gym."

 

[TerryA88]

Science should be his nickname...he's poetry in motion.

 

[Waquoit]

Science should be his nickname...he's poetry in motion.

Too reminiscent of Poetry in Moten

 

[TerryA88]

J.B. ...Jungle Brother..Because he got it like that.

 

[cordeodato]

Silk

That's what I was going for...

 

[amsterdamjade]

GOATknight

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

GOATknight

James GOATKnight should be the winner. I lick my wounds in defeat .

 

[Husky Pete]

Silk

As in ... smooth as.

 

[uchusky32]

Bouk-it.

 

[Hurleyman216]

Bouk's Night...as in EVERY night is Bouk's night

 

[Huskygamble19]

James Bouknight tells fans how to truly pronounce his name, but he appreciates all the support nonetheless. <a href="https://post original url/vXBU3K2vxD">pic.twitter.com/vXBU3K2vxD</a></p>&mdash; UCTV Sports (@UCTVSports) <a href="">November 24, 2019</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Lmfao was that actually a thing?

Someone did actually suggest it...never used, never forgotten.

"The Book & A-cook Show"

Why wouldn't it be the "A-cook Book Show"?

 

[Kembacity]

I hope we get to hear Booooooouuk echoing from all over gampel for 3 years.

Not a fan, it sounds like "booooo" which has no place in celebrating a guy whose name is "book"

A guy within earshot of me during the Xavier game was saying "bookie nights" which I like. I could see a sea of t-shirts in our student section with "James Bouknight" written in boogie nights font

He already has the perfect nickname, Effortless James, but how does a crowd shout that out in unison? "Initials".

Initials historically signify greatness: MJ, DT, KG, etc. so JB could work. Fans could chant it when he hits big plays and the TV people would happily and excitedly propagate it.

But, that's too mundane for "the basketball capital of the world". Plus, he's quickly shown he could be one of the best ever at UConn, has a nickname that captures his ability to make big plays look easy and its initials (EJ) would be easy to chant.

EJ, EJ, EJ would shake Gampel and the XL center when he makes big plays.

I don't know, reminds me of EJ Harrison, who wasn't great.

I think Bouk and Cook T-shirts would be cool personally. Cook The Books, not so much.

Anyone else notice Bouknight bucket at end of first half on a drive. Very very satisfying that it happened cuz I’m so sick of heaving a dumb three at the buzzer in those situations like the past 5 years

Ha. Poor shots to end halves and games were definitely a program staple for 5 years. That and a maddening inability to inbound the ball.
