Very happy for Roe! I've been really pulling for him and it seems like he's really worked hard this summer to prove to Rob and Jacque that he deserves a spot. Would love for them to now buyout Hedo and get him off the team, maybe give his spot to one of the training camp invitees.

I was fortunate enough to meet him in person and he's not 6-4 in shoes. My dad is about 6-3 and there's no way he's only an inch taller than him, it was noticeably taller. Honestly, and I mean this, he looked like a legit 6-6 (with shoes). I'm just saying, not trying to sound like a SOB or anything.

You don't sound like a SOB... more like someone who needs to make an appointment with their optometrist :wink:

. I don't know what you saw, but he is not 6'6 with shoes. They wouldn't screw him out of 2 inches in his combine mesurement.

Good to hear, hopefully a buyout will get done soon. I figured we would probably hear something soon about him after Osby finally signed his contract.

Its not like I had a tape-measure with me lol. If he's now listed at 6-5 1/2, me seeing him at 6-6 isnt too far a stretch bro.

6'6" would be amazing.... but I'm just happy that you felt like was in this range...possibly confirming the new measurement. Damn....he will be a load for point guard if he can scoot over to that position. and even looking at the instagram video posted...you can see he's only a couple inches shorter than osby and harkless that are listed at 6'8" and i guess 6'9",respectively. This week can't start any sooner at all. Just want to see an uptick in new and just even gossip. Going to bed and waking up one day closer. haha

how are all these guys still growing full inches in an offseason? have we moved from PEDs to HGH now with the youth movement?

All I know is there will be no more calling Vic "undersized" for playing the SG.

I don't but ANY of this growth spurt crap. ALL of our guys shot up a inch and a half to two inches this summer? Really? Not buying it.

The only one that is probably legit is Harkless being 6'9" (since he was already 6'8.5" when drafted). But they claiming Harris suddenly went from 6'7.75" to 6'9" and OLADIPO going from 6'4.25" to 6'5.5" in what three months?

Bull.

We'll see when he's standing next to Moe, since we can be pretty sure he's about 6'9".

I'm not saying I buy it either, but hasn't it been a year since they were measured (excluding Oladipo)? Were they measured at the end of the season?
