If he's legitimately down to 230#, I hope he's also legitimately up to 6'9. He was young enough a year ago to still be growing. But the 6'9 PF from Ohio State made him look small. A couple of extra inches of his height added to his frame (with the associated lengthening of his arms) would be a very welcome development.
I saw that picture and I wasn’t sure what to make of it. Kavas was supposed to be 6’8” and in the picture he looks an inch taller than Kevin. We all know Cross was 6’6” max. I know Thor was cheating in the team pic or our whole roster was roster hight was waaay overstated (versus the normal overstated). Actually now that I think about it, Cross was already way overstated at 6’8”.
I just hope Delano is really 6’8” because I think it would be sweet to have a 6’8” facilitator on the court. Man i hope the season starts on time. I don’t know how many more topics there are to drill into during this covid-enhanced offseason!
Well, from the roster photo, they look pretty close in height (note that either the picture is not taken from a level perspective or that the red line is not level):
But:
Thor was definitely not standing flat footed. Yvan appeared to be.
Coached at Oklahoma State, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Creighton among others. I am undoubtedly the only person in Nebraska who can say that he saw Eddie play high school ball. He played for tiny Bucklin, Kansas high school against teams my dad coached at Coldwater. RIP
His days at Creighton were way before my time as a Husker fan...but my earliest memories of him were as the coach for Arkansas, back in the day when the Huskers used to play them on what seemed like a pretty regular basis.
RIP Coach Sutton
Wow, this preseason report looks even more rosy than....last year's preseason report. Last year I really bought into it but this year ….I will probably do the same.
I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Brown gets the waiver. I think if an athlete cites the virus as a factor in their decision to transfer and the new school is closer to their family, the NCAA may be more likely to approve the waiver.
