Nice to see that Ed Morrow speaks highly of NU to the Minnesota newspaper...

 

http://www.startribune.com/sports/blogs/260942131.html

 

But he also speaks pretty highly of the Minnesota program as well.  He also says facilities won't have that big of impact on his decision.  This is a kid that I'm keeping my fingers crossed Miles can land but it won't be easy.

 

On the bright side...he did not mention Bradley, Creighton, Iowa State, Iowa, UMass, Illinois-Chicago, Virginia Tech, West Virginia and Wyoming at all!

But they were in on him first, dammit!

"It's possible I might still grow so who knows," said Morrow, who noted he has sprouted an inch and a half in the last month.

 

:huh:

An inch and a half in the past month? How tall is he now?

 

 

That's what she said

Wow, the girls have to love that!  I know a lot of men who have tried plenty of pills to get an extra 1.5"

 

Coincidentally, one of them was almost a Nebraska Basketball player.

Holy buckets.  If he was 6'7" before, that's putting him into the 6'9" territory.  The territory where some big kahuna said he needed to get to where they'd be interested.

 

Oh, man, that almost sucks.

But what if just his neck grew? The height the top of his head measures from the floor doesn't really matter as much then and things like wingspan are much more important. These guys all lie about their height. In reality, if he grew 1.5 inches, he is probably truly a solid 6'7" now, which will be rounded up and reported as 6'9".

Yes that's my point. Height is overplayed. Having some matters, but if you have some a teams not gonna pass up the incredible skill set for just another guy with an extra 2 inches. Cue the rehashing of all the jokes.

Maybe so, but earlier in this thread, I believe, there was a quote from some big kahuna coach who said if Ed was a couple inches taller ...

 

So, it seems to matter to the big kahuna coaches if a kid is 6'7" or if he's 6'9".  And, if it makes a difference to them, it doesn't really matter what I think or whether it's his wing span or whatnot.

True. Let's just hope Ed sticks to what he said when he talked about not caring to chase big offers and that the schools truly interested in him have probably already been in contact and offered him.

This is kind of a cool site.  Page down and see a number of photos of Mr. Morrow and his fam.

Judging from the good photo link huskercwg posted [which were from December with his parents (6'1" and 6'3")] his 6'7" estimate must be his NOW height...as he appeared to be at most 2" taller than his dad in December.

It was great to see that part of the photos involved a forced family "study hall". They appear to be getting his priorities straight.

His size affects his ranking not his heart or his game.

I'm all in on Morrow, but the only comparison I see b/c of height is Barkley. Any others?

I'm not worried about big schools sweeping in.

Chane Behanan?  In the title game a year ago, the dude was a rebounding mofo with a motor on overdrive.
