Proposed nickname for Darius Morris

Submitted by jmblue on

It's been noted that Darius kind of looks like a young Obama.  How about "the President"?  He certainly runs the show for us.  We had "General" Grant awhile back; now maybe we can move up a notch.

Any others?  Anything to prevent "Butterfly" from catching on...

"Darius the Great, was the third "king of kings" (emperor) of the Achaemenid Empire. Darius held the empire at its peak, then including Egypt, Balochistan, and parts of Greece. The decay and downfall of the empire commenced with his death and the coronation of his son, Xerxes I."

I like the sound of that. The empire of Michigan basketball will last until his death, at which point his son will become head coach. I'll happily take sixty or so years of Michigan owning in basketball followed by a period of down years.

I see what you mean; however, that's a nickname Denard grew up with.  It's not like a fanbase constructed nickname. 

All that said, I think Denard is an awesome enough name that he doesn't need a nickname.  I'm willing to bet the Shoelace thing slows down until he makes his first start in the NFL... then it'll all come back with a vengeance.
