Let's rename De'Anthony

[woundedknees]

Don't know what list everbody else was looking at, but I spotted this before I went to bed, last night.

l
CB 1 DeAnthony Thomas (Crenshaw Senior HS) Los Angeles, CA 5-10/175/4.40 02/02/2011 Oregon

And Thomas himself has already stated the team has renamed him "Baby DT", so it may be out of our hands.

I like Who Dat but my favorite I saw so far is:

Quack Mamba. The photoshopping that can be done alone is worth it.

[buckmarkduck]

Or he could be known as the "you know" kid, because he says you know so much. Ok that's a joke similar to why Willie Mays was called the "say hey" kid.

[Duck07]

Well, DaT said he wanted to get away from what people had built him up to be and part of that was the Mamba nickname.

Maybe De'Autzen Viper

The name will develop on its own as a result of his personality and play. Probably something will be developed by the palyers. The big question...what's his number?

Remen's 5 look like a snake, even better if it's a black number. Regardless Remene is a great person and athlete, having his number would be an honor.

He'll probably wear 16.

Lets stick to Black Mamba, it sounds the best and its his nickname!

Sounds like he wants out of the Mamba thing.

I'd go with Thomas but that would be confusing. So, "DAT" it is for me.

Daryle Hawkins already has that number. Hawkins might offer to wear another number but I'm not sure Chip would require it.

I like DAT too... my bro and I have been referring to him as Dee-a-tee or just DA.

Greetings!

Nicknames are earned and not concocted.

My humble submission:
DT2

In no order of preference:
The Black Mamba
LaMamba
DT2

[GrandpaDuck]

Greetings!

........

Welcome and salutations to you.

Random musings:

DeTox -- Mambas are poisonous creatures, DeTox is meant as a positive turn, and it's mostly what DAT's opponents will want to go through after facing him.
DeQuackthony (DQT) -- A little clunky, but the assonant rhyme stays more or less intact with this one.
DeHeisman -- Play on LeHeisman, which is a play on Joey Heisman. Not meant to be an everyday nickname. If he is ever in contention this is a good fall back.
De'Manthony (DMT) -- He's a man. Actually, he's de' man.

Not much, but that's what I got. DeTox is my favorite. Short, concise, but effective.

I like DAT or DA, maybe The DA.

[woundedknees]

Too bad about the Mamba moniker going away... It fit nicely with the "Quick Strike" offense Oregon prefers.

So maybe the mean green merganser ?



Duck'Anthony Thomas will make a name for himself in good time.
