Marcus Fuller: Latvian Oto Osenieks commits to Gophers

Ha, I also laughed when I saw that...

I don't think it is negative nor too early to call Oto a boom or bust recruit. Hell, I think its a bit of a positive at this point, considering his upside seems to be pretty high. At this late in the recruiting game, there aren't very many sure things out there (your CJ's aside), so you have to roll the dice with some players. Given the current situation, I'll happily roll the dice on a 6-9 guy who can hit the 3!

My bad---I totally misread your original post on him. See your point now.

Could someone who is good with this sort of thing, and is in the know, please give us a pronunciation guide for Oto's name? I mean, is his first name pronounced like Otto, or Oh-toe? Last name? I'd like to know how to say the name of an incoming recruit. lol

Only 5 can play.

Thanks, FOT. Has Tubby always played five?

Not always - he's such a good coach that he can usually beat your 5 with 3 or 4 of his.

Or his 5 with 3 or 4 of yours.
