You must strike while the iron’s hot.
Oakland’s sharpshooter, Jack Gohlke, capitalized on his standout first-round performance by securing a lucrative NIL deal. Many fans found the endorsement choice particularly fitting.
The 24-year-old graduate student dazzled with a remarkable 32-point performance against Kentucky, sinking 10 three-pointers. Despite his stellar showing and unwavering confidence, Gohlke acknowledges the unlikelihood of an NBA career. Social media chatter has already designated him as a prospective accountant.
TurboTax, a tax preparation service, seemed to embrace Gohlke’s hypothetical future profession. They enlisted the Oakland star to promote their services in a brief 8-second clip on social media.

Amidst the amusement, some fans noted the irony of Gohlke partnering with a company staffed by real accountants.
Gohlke cemented his place in March Madness history with an extraordinary shooting display. Seizing the opportunity presented by his newfound fame, he didn’t hesitate to feature in a quirky advertisement, evidently filmed in a hotel corridor.
One individual likely displeased by Gohlke’s performance is Kentucky coach John Calipari, whose team has struggled to advance past the second round since 2019. Former Villanova coach Jay Wright believes he understands the reasons behind Kentucky’s recent decline.
