Since people have been a bit sour at points today, I want to focus on the positives. We have a talented class, with some gaps to be sure. One thing I like is that Fuente clearly wanted to get guys who were going to generate yards after the catch/initial touch on offense. There are going to be some fun players.
I have this annoying habit of coming up with annoying nicknames for players that nobody else uses. I am working on them, but I am going to call Pimpleton "The Love Bug." When I watch him run, that Disney theme goes through my head. He doesn't looks super impressive, and then just flies buy defenders like they are standing still.
If Debose signs, he will likely inherit the Million Dollar Man gimmick.

I see what you did there, French.
If it sticks, after every sack he gets, I want him to shove a $100 bill in the QB's mouth and scream, "Everybody's got a price!!!".
That nickname is an old staple here at TKP and started with Corey Marshall. The idea was that every time the Million Dollar Man blows into the backfield for a sack or TFL, I go...

I need to TKP harder.
Sidenote: DiBiase's maniacal laugh was so awesome. I loved how it fit into his theme music.
For the lazy:
Another Classic:
Can I nominate one:
Lecitus Smith = Lecitus of Burg
Resistance is FUtile?
I can definitely get behind both of these.
We really need to start using that, "Resistance is FUtile," line, brilliant stuff.
I like it
This also makes UVa the Ferengi, doesn't it?
No, they need to be this dude from the TNG episode where Picard is captured along with three other aliens. He kept bragging about his people's intelligence, yet they were scared of confrontation and conquered many times.
Oooh... maybe they're the Vulcans.
Emotionless windbags who spend so much time sniffing their own farts they can't be bothered to realize the rest of the galaxy has passed them by. They consider the humans (VT) to be utterly inferior, only to reside in the shadow of the Terran Empire under the Federation's umbrella. Plus, their food sucks.

Maybe we should transfer this discussion elsewhere.

What about Julia Roberts? /s
How about Sean "savvy" Savoy
We got to figure out one for Drake Deluliis........ive been trying to figure out how to say his name for months
I'm good with Double D. Anymore than it's a waste.
True Statement...
(Maroon and) Orange Deluliis?
It's pronounced "Kevin".
Drake Delirious Deluliis
An anagram of Devon Hunter is Thunder Oven. Kalil Pimpleton is Ankle Limp Pilot, maybe foreshadowing all those defenders' ankles he will be breaking. Drake Deiuliis is Ideal Kids Rule, or Arise Dude Kill. Dylan Rivers is Randy Silver, or actually Rivalry Ends. Maybe he harasses UVA QBs so much that they actually shut down their football program.
Dylan Rivers = Randy Silver... This has to become a thing.
Still not as cool as Duke Silver.
Obligatory
I also enjoy this one
Yes, but, we're talking VT football here, not loluva. Need something more badass.
I know this thread is mainly about new players but I thought this relevant: I work with Travon McMillian's cousin and told him about the nickname "Dragon" today. I made him promise to tell Travon about it!
