What a basketball prank...

This catfishing thing to hurt the opposing team is funny, even, dare I say it, awesome. A little extreme maybe. The idea of it is just funny.

That was pretty bad, but Pruitt took it well, and the best way he could. He laughed it off (maybe eventually) like most of us wouldn't. That could be pretty embarrassing.

Isn't this somewhat similar to the Notre Dame player a few years ago ... can't remember his name but it was an odd one.

Manti Teo. I probably butchered the spelling. Mont'i?

THAT is how you handle getting pranked. The sooner you get "in on the joke" the better.

Nice job by Pruitt.

Close enough in spelling, and that's right. It's no wonder I couldn't remember it ....

I assume he's Hawaiian or of Hawaiian extraction. I'm hardly an expert on their spelling methodology, but I think they put an apostrophe when there are two vowels next to each other that have a syllable break in pronunciation, e.g., Hawai'i. And they have a lot of adjacent vowels.

Manti teo was having a terrible year because his grandmother, and his "girlfriend" both died during the season but the truth about the girlfriend came out right before the championship game with bama i believe.

Reminds me of when a state fan posted boogie cousins # and he was harassed for a couple days before we got hosed by the refs (the first time against UK that year). Same as the infamous "throwing water bottles on the court" game.
