Yeah, don't think I've seen any substantive reporting/"rumors" connecting us to him... seems that Wilcher is very much looking for a place where he can start from day 1/get a ton of shots, etc... fair enough, that's basically the reason we landed Mack. 

They won a state championship together, but their play styles could sometimes be in conflict, it sounds like (and another poster mentioned they may also have conflicts off the court, which I'm unaware of, but could easily be true). 

Guess I jumped the gun and turns out there may actually not be any fire here - not even a little smoke... except from me! 

Too bad... was brainstorming NIL ideas for that duo....

Had visions of Hoosiers for Good selling T shirts of Mack, Wilcher, and Woody à la GoodFellas. 

Under the title, picture of the Sample Gates on one side, the other side with local favorite brands. 

(Yes I am insane) 

The “Goodfellas” of colllege basketball are Calipari, Pitino, and Izzo and maybe a few others.  “If it works for the mob it will work for College Ball too”.

• Pitino = Pesci
• Calipari = De Niro
• Izzo = Liotta

... you can kinda see it, right?

Do you have any other ethnic stereotypes you would like to share?

That’s exactly how I’d picture it

Way to call him out, Honkyman.

Well Liotta is dead, so I can kind of see the resemblance

Nothing wrong with making fun of oneself with stereotypes as I have done. You seem to be fine with using racial stereotypes to make fun of others, which is not OK

[Home Jersey 6,699]

I could walk out of my front door and trip over a dozen Italian-Americans before I made it a tenth of a mile down the road.

I promise you not a single one would be offended by any "stereotypes" in this thread lol

This is a wild take.  Lighten up man.  My guess is Izzo, Calipari, and Pitino would be honored to be the Pacino, DeNiro, and Liotta of the College basketball world. 

 

edit- Well Pacino wasn't in that movie but he's one of the best of all time doing the same part 20 times over, and loved by most.

Pacino is my favorite "modern era" actor. ("Classic" era would have to be Humphrey Bogart.)

Pacino looks a lot like Pat Reilly. Just saying. And while we're doing mob movie/college basketball comparisons, Sean Miller is Paul Sorvino, Brad Underwood is Luca Brasi, Bruce Pearl is Moe Greene, Brad Stevens is Michael Corleone, and Archie Miller is clearly, irrefutably...

Sounds like St John’s and it’s already a done deal.

He's visiting St. John's but I haven't heard anyone saying anything definite about him.

Do you have any knowledge of WayneFleek or Stuhoo's ethnic backgrounds?  

I have some Italian ancestry and have to say I found the name Honkyman more offensive than anything Wayne or Stuhoo posted.

The name is self-deprecating. It is clearly intended as a joke and its hard to believe anyone would describe it as offensive now after my  using it for several years.  But if some do, I have no problems changing it.
