The new JJ [Archive]

State's JJ Hickson had a monster game last night- 12-12 from the floor and scored 31. State is going to be a very tough out this year. Their guard play is a problem but they are big and strong, and will figure out a way to hide their ball handling weaknesses. It will be interesting to see how that team develops. Great start for the freshman- who if he continues to play like this will not be at State for very long.

I'd like to report this post to a moderator for daring to compare their JJ to OUR JJ. I just don't remember where the report button is. Is it that little yield sign thing in the top corner?

they have the same name. Maybe a better title would have been "A new JJ"

Or "A nowhere NEAR as good JJ who should be legally forced to change his name to Tom."

Hey I thought up some great nicknames and chants in case this Hickson guy is, like, really really good, and starts beating our butts in our own building all the time. For starters, we should call him Gay-Gay Hickson. And if he really starts laying the smack down on us at home, we can start chanting F*** you JJ! That'll be sure to rattle him.

What do you guys think? I put a lot of thought into those, and it would really make me proud as a Duke alum to hear those out of the Crazies. I also think the rest of the country would be impressed by our maturity and intelligence.

Hickson is definitely living up to his billing early this season. However, just like our freshmen, I am holding back "crowning'em King" until they demonstrate consistentcy against quality competition.

Good call. You live in Maryland, yes?

Love it!!! And after this Hickson guy really starts smacking us around big-time up and down the ACC for a couple of years, what about this: Check it out..... Get his cell phone number, pass it around, and have all your friends phone him in the middle of the night so he can't sleep! Just now thought of it and wanted to run it by you guys. He he, pretty clever, eh? ;)

Great ideas here; I suggest a follow up, when his team beats our teams rear-end, we should riot and burn our town and cars and destroy all the stores in our town too so that the Durham police end up buying a riot truck!

And better yet - let's find something really expensive that belongs to a major university sponsor - say something worth about $500,000 - and we can just destroy it after they've given our school millions of dollars!

How about calling Hickson "the JJ that we could really use on our team this year."

call him the new JJ when he sets the ACC scoring record. Until then, I agree with Tom.

I didn't see the State/Bill and Mary game. Was JJ allowed to stiff arm his opponents away and go to the line just for flailing his arms in the air?

No. But, oddly, Jackie Manuel jumped out of the stands and proceeded to tug on his jersey for 30 minutes... ;)

No, but that guy Tyler Hickson was able to take four steps, charge into his defender, heave the ball at the basket and draw the foul.

You have to practice that continuation move prior to going to da league.

Hee hee hee... remember that conversation at the top of the forum, about mods being nicer? There SHOULD be a disclaimer put on there that this ONLY applies to Duke posters; Carolina fans will actually be treated with MORE distain than usual, as it should be!

:D

I do hope it translates to the league better than Shelden Hickson's "upper body is part of the ball" shotblocking did. :D

Shouldn't you be flooding Ol Roy's radio show with questions about why Quentin Thomas doesn't play more?

OL Tom Hickson couldnt lead his team to beat University of New Orleans...wow....nope, not JJ quite yet.

Although I wouldn't call 21 points and 13 boards a letdown performance.

If there was any reason State lost last night, it sure wasn't Mr. Hickson.

Agreed. Hickson was VERY good last night.

This is a silly argument. Redick was an unbelievable college player in his junior and senior years. Hickson looks like he's going to be a very good college player as a freshman. They're both very good.
