Let $G$ be a finite group, $k$ an algebraically closed field of characteristic
dividing $|G|$, $C$ a thick subcategory of the stable category of finitely 
generated $kG$-modules corresponding to a collection of closed homogeneous 
subvarieties of the maximal ideal spectrum of $H^*(G,k)$ which is closed under
finite unions and specialization, ${\Cal E}_C$ the idempotent module 
corresponding to $C$. We show that the stable endomorphism ring of ${\Cal 
E}_C$ is a local ring if $C$ corresponds to a connected variety or an infinite
collection of varieties which is connected in an appropriate sense. We show 
that noninvertible stable endomorphisms of ${\Cal E}_C$ are locally nilpotent
if $C$ corresponds to a connected variety given by a sequence of homogeneous 
parameters. We relate the structure of the stable endomorphism ring of ${\Cal 
E}_C$ to those of the finitely generated modules of the colimit and give a few 
examples for elementary abelian groups of low rank.
