I probably missed it at some point when he was recruited, but is his first name pronounced as it's spelled, or is there some other phonetic pronunciation like Gree-AT-aye? :lol:

Osobor was recruited last summer and fall and then signed in November. He had interest/offers from Princeton, Drexel Denver. Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Nicholls St, Illinois Chicago and few others. I believe it came down to MSU and Princeton. My guess is if he held out signing until this Spring to sign he might have had quite a few high majors looking at him, but with the Covid recruiting restrictions maybe not. The story on Ososbor is that he was a pretty well recruited guard two years ago (a big burly muscular guard) but in 18 months or so months grew from 6-2 ish to 6-7. I am told he is a solid 6-8 now (we will see what happens when it converted from metric). He has played guard the majority of his basketball career, but is now in an athletic pretty physically imposing power forward body (6-8 230ish). If you look at his highlights from this year it is stalked full of examples of him blocking or getting defensive rebound pushing it the entire court and scoring (usually a dunk) in traffic. He can also shoot the ball out to three point range (although I admit is a little streaky from 3 point range). We have 3 bigmen returning from last year and 3-4 newcomers. I think Osobor is by far the best of the new big men.I he works his but off this summer and fall he has the talent to really push a couple of our returnees. Once he gets accustom to NCAA D-1 ball I could also see him playing both forward spots, if Sprinkle wanted to go with a big power line-up. Finally I am told his first name is pronounced "great"

Unfortunately, that's exactly where my mind went as well. But at this point, I'd gladly take him as a one and done if he's able to help MSU MBB go dancing for the first time in over a quarter century...
