Title: Jacob Ognacevic
Post by: tiny707 on December 06, 2020, 10:59:01 AM
If he keeps improving I think Jacob needs a nickname. Ryan was named "The Accountant" in Dallas. I will go with "The Butcher" because I can't think of anything else. His fans can be the "Bratheads" when they can go back to attending games. Maybe "The Lutheran Legend"?

Looks like JO is the nickname according to press/articles.  Sounds good to me...

I'd put him in the starting lineup.  Swap mileek out.  He should be getting more minutes.

I agree, start Jacob over Mileek. Added benefit is this should only hasten Jacob's development. Barring unforseen success, developing he and the team's other promising young talent should really be the top priority this season. I'd be willing to try starting Connor at this point, too, in place of Gordon.

Do you know if that is JO as in "Joe" or J.O. as in "Jay-Oh"?

Frankly, I like the two freshman coming off the bench. We need some scoring power in the second group and they give it! If the preform they will get there minutes over McMillian and Gordon.

and to get this back on the true and important subject, how cool would it be if those two, Jacob & Conner, could enter the game & Todd could call them "Bingo Barrett and the Ognacinator?" Or something like that.

I think you have to include some of his under-the- basket (can't call it post) play. Maybe Slim Sheboygan sharpshooter

Stay with Sheboygan Sharpshooter. Keep it simple, rhythmic, and catchy.
