No, he's every bit of over seven feet. The guy is a giant, just like Edey.
This is a great article on Clingan, albeit quite long.

But within it, it says Clingan has grown and measured at 7'3 barefoot this summer.
We also have this from 3 years ago, when he was 16 yrs old and measuring at 7'2
7' sounds about right. Definitely not 7'2" or more though. I've seen him next to several bigs like sub 6'9" Timme, and supposed 7' guys like Ware and Dickinson to know he's very comparable, maybe a little bit taller. My guess is if they play Purdue in the final you'll see that Edey is easily a few inches taller. It won't be a mystery much longer. Combine is coming up!
Yeah, honestly I don't believe the 7'3 barefoot rumor at all. That would put him at Edey's height, and he isn't that size.
To me he's basically the same height as Kalkbrenner, when they matched up recently they looked pretty close to identical height. Kalkbrenner was at the combine last year and measured 7'0.75 barefoot. If I had to put money down, I would bet Clingan measures between 7'0.5-7'1 barefoot
