  • That's an excellent article. People are starting to realize what we've been watching for years....this kid can play for anybody in the country.

  • Great article. I think Otto would fit in great at Mizzou.

  • Do you guys think Otto Porter could be the next Tyler Hansbrough out of Southeast Missouri? Or better?

  • Great to see Otto on the home page of ESPN recruiting page and great for the SEMO area as well ... I dont know if Otto can put together the type of college career that Tyler put together, but I think he can become a top player in the nation for sure.

  • not sure about Otto vs Tyler. I think Otto has more skill as far as ball skills and shooting but Tyler was just a force inside with his size and aggressiveness. Let's not forget that Tyler was a McDonald's All-American. The season is not even close to over for SCC though so let's see how many more accolades Otto can rack up.

  • As a Mizzou alum, I would love to see Otto wearing a Tiger uniform. The program there fits him. As a Memphis alum (yes, I graduated with separate degrees from both schools), I'm just not sure Pastner has what it takes to keep that program up. Anderson is miles ahead of Pastner. And let's just face it, thne Conference USA doesn't have that much to offer. He would be great in the Big 12 (or 10 or whatever now) and would have a great shot at the national spotlight.

  • Do I think Otto is the next Hansbrough? No, he's Otto Porter. It's like comparing apples and oranges. Wow, I hope he goes to Mizzou so we can see him everytime he plays. How cool would that be?
