[77ncaachamps]

...the new MU pic was taken, that is. First time for me to see it...

Before



After




Boy, he looks more mature since stepping on MU's campus!!!

[MUCrew]

Looks like he added weight too.

Granted its just a photo, but it looks like he'll do better in the classroom then he will on the court.

Really an insightful post, Estero.......

[ATWizJr]

is that a comment on the Buddy Holly-like specs?  Horn rims are coming back ya' know!

[esotericmindguy]

Really an insightful post, Estero.......

Your post, no matter the poster's typo, was a wee bit less than esoteric.........

[NCMUFan]

Give Chris his time to prove himself on and off the court.  Adjustment to college like is a huge challenge in itself.

[ecompt]

If he can give us 5-8 minutes a game this year, I'll be grateful.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Looks like he added weight too. 

Looks like he added teeth too

[ecompt]

that's your Marquette Dental School at work.

[Daniel]

Like Ecompt said, if Otule can give us 5 - 8 minutes, maybe a point or two, and some defense on the inside - that would be awesome.

Saw Chris, Liam, Joe, and Jimmy at the Al yesterday and had the chance to speak with them a little.  Jimmy Butler is really impressive physically, I think he is actually taller than Joe.  Long as all get out.  Chris is a big athletic looking kid, as is Liam.  Kids are really hitting the weights and conditioning hard DJ and others remarked how sore they are. Our athleticism this year will I beleive be the best in 20+ years.  No grimms or christophersons on the team.  Athleticism wise Hazel and Burke are probably on the bottom of the chart for us and on some of our teams over the last few decades they would have been at least in the middle if not on top.

People need to lighten up. It's summer for christ sakes. It was a funny post.

I'll assume that was in regard to my Erkel comment....thanks for the encouragement. 

7 footer, I would hope he could provide 5-8 minutes and 3 fouls to the mix.

What's funny about that is we all know if you were standing in front of all 6'10" 260 lbs of him you wouldn't be calling him Erkel.

I saw Butler too, and he was just a tad shorter than blackledge when standing next to him.  Also he has a soft touch on his 3 pt shot and should fill in nicely for fitzgerald as a 3pt threat.

Per the latest Rosiak blog it sounds like Otule is putting in a lot of effort to get stronger.  Looks like he has bulked up when comparing the 2 photos.

Nope, thats what makes message boards so great!  Though at 6'1 170 I am a quite intimidating.

[OneMadWarrior]

I hope he can become the first legimate big man since Robert Jackson, I woudl love to see a guy Rebound or blopck a shot  and throw outlet passes to Junior, for an  alley-oop to Jeronne.

[Markusquette]

because he is black and has glasses makes him urkel 

[denverMU]

No, becuase he's black and looks like Erkel makes him Erkel!

[esotericmindguy]

because he is black and has glasses makes him urkel 

My goodness, get a life....if he was white I'd call him screech!  Its because he's black and looks nerdy that makes him Erkel; its a joke, forget it.

[Markusquette]

I dunno, he just doesn't look very nerdy or like Steve Urkel to me.  Get a life?  I have not comment for that 

[Knight Commission]

I agree. Dude looks like Erkel.
