MSU Basketball Nicknames, 2024-25 edition

Happy Tuesday. It is time to revive one of my favorite annual TOC traditions, the giving of nicknames to every member of the Men’s Basketball Team. This will be the third year of this ritual. I’ll begin here by reminding you of current players who have been given nicknames already, though I will say all existing nicknames must defend their title and can be replaced by a new challenger. Nicknames given in 2024:

Jaden “Shakin’ Bakin’” Akins (two-time winner)

Jaxon “The Kohler Bear” Kohler (two-time winner)

Tre “Trey” Holloman

Coen “Carr-pe De-rim” Carr

Carson “Coop Deville” Cooper

Jeremy “Nightmare” Fears

Xavier “Stretch” Booker

Nick “Colonel” Sanders

Gehrig “Stormin’” Normand

Again, you are allowed to suggest a new nickname for any of the above, and it will go through the voting process.
