    Outside of Ali, Jordan and Kwadzo it's pretty much the case.

    Adam Koch
    Jake Koch
    Bennett Koch (the crazy name)
    Lucas O'Rear (Irish, and he was crazy, but not a crazy name
    Mark Sonnen
    Johnny Moran - potentially the whitest name ever
    Adam McDermott
    Spencer Haldeman - I take back what I said about Johnny
    Ted Frieman
    Jeremy Morgan
    Hunter Rhodes
    Jordan Ashton
    Luke McDonnell
    Chip Rank
    Seth Tuttle
    Nate Buss
    Matt MacDougall
    Klint Carlson - make it a C and I might take back what I said about Spencer
    Matt Morrison
    Tyler Lange
    Anthony James


    UNI's roster is the epitome of generic random name generators.

    A guy like Tywhon Pickford would be absolutely insane on our roster, name wise. Look at it currently. Juwan and Isaiah are as non generic as it gets, and Isaiah is one of the oldest names in the world. I guess we have Rafael De Souza, but I'd assume in Brazil that's a pretty generic sounding name.

      If we were to sign Keyser Soze (Usual Suspects), that's a game changer.

          Can't bust his ass up the court, but he's good at getting into the opposing teams head.

              Actually, he'd have a great change of pace move. He'd go from bad leg and gimpy hand to sprinting up the court at the blink of an eye. Also, no one would ever foul him and risk being killed afterwards.

                I looked it up, Rafeal/Rapheal has pretty much always been one of the 10 most common names in Brazil. I say always - which is basically as far back as I can find data from sites I trust. Through most of that part of the world it's a top 50-100 name. In France it's a top 20 name, and through pretty much all of the Swiss border region it seems to be a top 10-15 name.

                So, essentially, Rafeal is equivalent to any variant of Thomas, Christopher, Daniel, Paul, Mark, David, Jason, Matthew, etc... in America.

                Sousa is the third most common surname in Brazil. Making it the equivalent to Williams.

                Essentially Rafeal's name, in America, would be David Williams.

                  That's David De Williams to you.

                  Yep, we're officially bored.

                      Technically, if we're going full translation, it'd be David of Williams...

                      ...

                      ...... So anyone know if it's just going to be just Jones on the visit, or if they'll do multiple on the same day, like the other day?

                        His Youtube highlights that I watched last night weren't anything all that impressive. He appears to be a set shooter, doesn't really elevate, doesn't do much off the dribble and makes Bennett look strong. Appears to just catch and shoot with maybe an inch of elevation on his jumper. I didn't pay attention to how old the highlight film was, but maybe he's become more explosive since that time. Seems to me the comment about scoring 30+ or only 15 would make sense. Based on the film, he could light up a smaller team from the perimeter, but put a quick defender on him and he could struggle to do anything.

                          So....Nate Buss and a lesser extent Paul Jesperson.

                          Yeah, there's a role for a player like that on our style of program.

                              Wow we are really going after Maple Grove. First Davison, then Pickford, now Jones. Hopefully that is a promising sign for Pickford's interest as well

                              Drake had offered Jones just 24 hours prior
