Crazy good reference. I’m not sure what you’re applying it to but I still love it. Unfortunately, Rhames’ character in Pulp Fiction was spelled Marsellus Wallace. I know this because I once cited him in a college paper lol.

Also, I’ve seen recent film of Doshna & it only further solidified my belief that he’s going to end up being a Top 10 player in the ‘26 class by the time their college careers conclude. I see him contributing as a SSDM early on in college before transitioning to offense or possibly just remaining a “stay on” or 2-way middie. He’s going to be imposing even as a frosh with his size, speed, & the physicality he plays with.
