Dude won't even have to jump to dunk the ball...**

That is just absurdly tall. I'm rooting for this kid.

Unfortunately, people that tall typically have major joint issues.

Thought that was legal now**
Palmetto Hokie • 06/25/24 05:32 PM ET
True but at 7-foot-9 he's always the 'highest' person on the court. **
YBYSAIAHokie • 06/25/24 06:24 PM ET
Wow. How many Muggsy Bogueses is that?**
Truthahn • 06/24/24 01:48 PM ET
Approximately 1.52459016 Muggsy Bogueses by my rudimentary math. **
VT One • 06/26/24 05:48 PM ET
3?**
EDGEMAN • 06/24/24 05:39 PM ET
He is absurdly tall but surprisingly he looks very normal. **
IB4TECH • 06/21/24 04:22 PM ET
The crazy thing is he's not terrible...

GC was 7'7" Kenny George at UNC Asheville when you were at Radford?
HokieSA • 06/21/24 05:53 PM ET
No, I was in college around that time

My Liberty Minutemen played the Shoemaker led Gate City
HokiefromBedford • 06/26/24 08:23 PM ET
Shoemaker also played football**
VaTechHokiesACC • 06/24/24 10:43 PM ET
Yep, a 6'10 QB**
GCHokie34 • 06/24/24 10:59 PM ET
Holy Cow GC - did this bring home a state BB championship?**
SCHokie80 • 06/24/24 08:23 PM ET
Nope, that didn't happen until McClung **
VaTechHokiesACC • 06/24/24 10:52 PM ET
None of them can hold a candle to Luke Minor.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 06/22/24 11:10 AM ET
Or former Atlanta Hawk El Gigante(RIP). He and D2 guy Mark Calaway had some
