Who is the Tom Cruise look alike on Boeheim's staff?

Funny thing. I was on a flight from Dallas to Houston today and had George Clooney and Richard Branson of all people on the flight! Not sure if they were together or not. I snapped a quick picture:

Dear god, that man has no junk!

This thread is all my fault. But at least I got my answer.

That guy 2 over from JB does look like a young Tom Cruise. We figured it is Brad Pike? Anyone know if he is Tom's cousin or something?

Since we seem to be going there ... Wellman is a doppleganger for 80s Spader, crossed with Laettner.

FTFY

So now we have Rick Pitino on the plane and Tom Cruise on the SU bench. I wonder who will show up next?

I've been watching for a Tom Cruise press conference since I saw this thread, announcing a new Cruise scandal. We seem to have a bunch of psychics here doubling as SU stalwarts, so I know that something is about to hit the fan...

That's my good friend Brad Pike! Google his current title.

Here's the info:
