Would love to see what added explosiveness we could get out of him with some hard work in strength and conditioning. See him drop 15# of fat and add 10# of muscle and play at 235# as a freshman? He could probably handle that between now and August. I should add, Norm, I'm just a sloppy body American. I am the definition of skinny fat.

Faux Mike Peltz Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 The best basketball player with the least defined arms has to be Jokic in Denver. I think he has about a 5” vertical and may not get picked first in a church league game....but then... Ben Zobrist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBigRed Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Busted out my photo editing skillz again to play "How Tall is Kevin Cross?" Derrick Walker is 6-8. I've seen enough to believe that Kevin Cross is at least 6-7 1/2 and very close to 6-8. Interesting though how his chin and mouth are far lower than Walker's.

kldm64 Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Maybe its just me but not very excited about Kevin Cross. He just looks slow and kind of lazy. Seen footage of him and wasn't to impressed. I trust Fred judgement over mine but don't see him being much of an impact player at NU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBigRed Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Just now, Silverbacked1 said: Kevin and Fred are closer to the camera than in Walker's picture... or... Kevin just has a bigger head and longer face. Fred is the same distance in each picture, hence the white line matching up the top of his head and bottom of his chin. Now Cross might be a bit closer to the camera than Walker. But he definitely has a bigger head/longer face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrasher31 Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) I know @Norm Peterson was wondering what the "official" height/weight would be per the huskers. 6'8 240.

There's some sort of perspective difference (maybe the photographers were of varying heights), because the reference points in the background, don't match up.

The official flex post was tweeted out yesterday and I have to say... KEVIN!! was probably using the flex emoji in all his tweets, because he knows he needs to get his ass into S&C as soon as he steps on campus.

hhcmatt Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 A few things about Cross. As a Junior he was 2nd team all state and first team in class 5A. His MaxPreps profile listed him at 6'6" 215# As a Senior he was 2nd team all state and first team in class 4A. His MaxPreps profile listed him at 6'8" 240# (Arkansas: Biggest 16 schools = 7A, next 16 = 6A, next 32 = 5A, next 48 = 4A) His rankings on Arkansas Basketball Boys Rankings June 26, 2017: Not in top 25, not in honorable mentions Jan 9, 2018: Ranked #16 in the state Feb 14, 2019: Ranked #10 in the state April 30, 2019: Ranked #4 in the state One other thing: Pictured next to Kevin is his father who is approximately the same height as Kevin.

Are we absolutely sure he's stopped growing? In your photo, looking at the eyes and shoulders, I'd approximate that dad has him by an inch. In the one below (from graduation a few days ago), it looks like it might be more. Combine that with the fact that his mother looks to be of above-average height, and he may not be maxed out just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
