Jalen Hurd currently on TSR

[ChattanoogaVols]

*Sorry if there's already a thread for this. Mods please move if so.*

Just wanted to say I'm listening to Jalen on the Ainge show right now, and I couldn't be more impressed with how mature and intelligent he sounds. You don't hear any of the canned phrases (i.e. "most definitely", "make plays"). He's actually saying things of substance, unlike many kids his age. He "most definitely" seems like the type of young man that will be an excellent ambassador of all things UT.

edit: They just finished up the interview as I posted this.

Yeah, I'm gonna' have to pass on that as well. Not catchy at all. I'd prefer something that uses a play on his name. Something like the Buffalo Hurd, Hurdinator, etc.

Wish Ainge asked him some real questions. Most of it was joking around and a waste of Jalen's time.

I believe it was just a suggestion for a nickname that Ainge thought up off the top of his head. I was trying to ignore someone at work talking to me when they mentioned the Orange Cheetah, so I'm not 100% certain.

I've been thoroughly impressed with how well spoken and articulate this class is. Seems to me this is one of the things that sets this class apart.

Shows what kind of athlete Butch is attracted too and vice versa. Jmo

Haha, I was actually trying to think of that, but kept thinking "Rumbling Hurd" instead of "Thundering Hurd". I knew it didn't sound right.

 

[namasteVOLfans]

[ChattanoogaVols]

Ya Hurd?

thundering hurd

Nice! But he isn't the Marshall's mascot.

 

[give_him 6]

Jalen gets it

 

[fade route]

Why does he need a nickname? Think I'm just gonna call him Jalen Hurd.

Not really much to complain about...cheesy nickname...like Chester from Cheetos fame ...didn't know I'd carved out a niche as a "complainer"...I'm usually lumped in with the "sunshine pumpers"...guess I'll own it

Fade, you going to the Oklahoma game next year?

 

[voldog74]

I like the nickname "Tricky". For it will be tricky for opposing defenses to tackle him.

He doesn't, but thanks for being the proverbial tool to scoff at others for having some fun discussing it.

This nickname fiasco is tearing our NATION apart!

Did I hurt your feelings? :cray:

Just might. Didn't get to go to any this year, so I might bring my son over for that one. You?

It was actually a super hero name generating website. When they put in jalens name it gave them the blue cheetah and jalen said he might could go with an orange cheetah. Also Butch's name came out as captin mercury which Jalen laughed and said that would proly fit him well.

All on all though o was too impressed by Hurd's maturity.
