PrintOK, so we there are a few things that we have learned in the past few days. First, Nancy Grace should be arrested. Second, Kenner League hot dogs haven't improved. And third and most important, it appears that Hoyas freshmen Jabril Trawick, Mikael Hopkins, and Greg Whittington can ball. Yes it is just Kenner League, but first impressions based on their play on the court are that these three will be able to contribute to the Hoyas next season and beyond. Hooray!
In the great tradition of THE GLOBAL PHENOMENON (the site that brought you the vaunted epic fail The Hoya Trinity for Austin Freeman, Chris Wright and Jason Clark) today we tackle the important question of what should these guys be nicknamed, individially or otherwise? We'll tackle Otto Porter and Tyler Adams after we get our first glimpse of them this weekend.
Nicknames after The Jump:
Jabril Trawick - Physical, attacking style of play thus far including a couple of monster throwdowns.
Possible nicknames: Jabril Deal, Wickipedia, The Big Tweet
Mikael Hopkins - Defensive minded, athletic, nice jumper.Possible nicknames: Special K, Mikael Michael Motorcycle, Hip-Hop
Greg Whittington - Fundamentally sound, nice perimeter game, faint echoes of Jeff Green.
Possible nicknames: Tighty Whitti, New Greg, G-Dubs
Let us know which of the above are your favorites, and if you can come up with better nicknames (AND BY GOD I HOPE YOU CAN), submit them below and earn a chance to win eternal fame and glory, not necessarily in that order.

I propose waiting till they do something because that makes the nicknames better
though the big tweet is excellent.
Lubick was “Vanilla Gorilla” until he THUNDERSNOWED ON ’EM. clearly the second nickname is unbelievably superior in every way.

+1 on The Big Tweet
He’s already earned that nickname.
Hopefully some folks won't act biased towards some of the nicknames. They sure will turn something fun into something biased!
Jabril “The Train” Trawick, Greg “Magic” Whittington, Mikael “ShowStoppa” Hopkins…
Here we go..

Yay Filler
Forced nicknames are the worst. I feel like it will take Trawick and Hopkins about 2 games tops to develop organic monikers.

Jabril the Bulldog
Instead of biting a cardboard box at halftime, he could bite a player on the other team
Nicknames
Although we haven’t seen Otto yet I think we should go with Ottomatic from what they are saying about him. For Greg I like " Sick Whit it". For Jabril I like " The bril deal". And for Mikael I like " The rejecta"
While I'd rather wait untl the season starts before giving nicknames
I applaud you guys for creating content for today…

seriously
I saw Greg Whittington on campus and he needs to go on the chicken madness diet immediately! I’m glad to hear he is playing well so far. Gotta make it out to some Kenner

If we’re trying to pack on the pounds we should skip right to the burger madness diet.

This is a diet I pursued for at least two years
I mean you have to budget 3 hours of couch time after one of those babies just to regain your humanity.

It's easier if you never had much humanity to begin with
And if someone thinks Chicken Madnei are somehow more healthful than their far superior burger brethren, they are on crack.

So nervous right now! I hope he accepts my request!!!
