MSU Basketball Nicknames, 2023-24 edition

Happy Wednesday TOC Nation,

I am taking advantage of the long layoff between basketball games to bring back a tradition we started last year, as if doing something once could be a tradition. Last year, we gave some of our favorite Spartan basketball players their nicknames, settling it through democratic means. You can revisit that here:

To refresh your memories, these were the nicknames we decided on:

AJ Hoggard - “Boss Hogg”

Tyson Walker - “Ty Fighter”

Jaden Akins - “Shakin’ Bakin’”

Malik Hall - “Malicious”

Mady Sissoko - “The Mali Mauler”

Jaxon Kohler - “The Kohler Bear”

We also gave former Spartan Pierre Brooks the nickname “Mel”.
