fuku is an interesting prospect. much like huet, i wouldn't be surprised if he came up big cause he flew in under the radar. if we refine hsi technique, i wouldn't be surpised to see another very serviceable backup in our system. not to mention that everyone who seems to watch him only has the higheset praises for him.

From what most have said, it's his endurance/conditioning that's the biggest suspect. I remember reading how he played well to start off, but he would double over and get winded way too easily.
