DoctorB Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Hey Nate -- or pdiddy -- or whoever: can you clarify something for me?: is it my imagination, or an optical illusion -- yesterday on campus I spied Corey walking alongside Willie, and it looks to me like Corey is now BIGGER than Willie? not just musculature -- which is obvious -- but he looked to be an inch or more TALLER than Willie!!?? if true he shot up a couple or 3 inches over the summer ( to near 7 foot!???) or was it someone else? I was at a slight distance but I thought it was CR. but I was so surprised I did a double take .... whoever it was -- and I thought it was CR -0- he is taller. and if true: wow! CR looks so much bigger and stronger to me! break-out year for Cory?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed to me he looked maybe an inch shorter when they were standing side by side. Either way though, either he's grown quite a bit or Willie has shrunk.

Hawk Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 we commented on it last night at the Bonner League games. It seemed to me he looked maybe an inch shorter when they were standing side by side. Either way though, either he's grown quite a bit or Willie has shrunk. He's only 19 (by like 2 weeks). It wouldn't be out of the question if he was still growing.

doowop Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 When CR first signed it was reported that he would likely grow a few more inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bk18 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 CR added a little muscle. Maybe an inch in height. Some guys grow until they are 21 year old. He's not 7 foot like someone said though. he and WR are probably both in between 6'9'' and 6'10'' and I'm pretty sure WR is taller and has a bigger wingspan. CR looks a lot taller because he got the other version of the Brandon Jennings hair cut. I doubt he grew more than an inch in real height since March though.

WVBilliken Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Can't see CR red shirting unless the Bills get Kowal. He could be the most improved player on the team based on the reports of his increase in size and height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlumniFan Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 This is an interesting thread. Back at the golf tournament, we were confused when we saw this really tall guy with Brian and Cody. Someone said it was Corey and I was doubtful. Whatever the reason, he certainly looks taller than I recall at the games this past year.

NH Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Willie is 6'9. Many people believe he is taller (he looks it), but he isn't.Willie may be 6'9, but if he went to any other school he would be 6'10 or 6'11. He is as tall as other teams 6'11 centers.

He could be the most improved player on the team based on the reports of his increase in size and height. Who even thought CR is red shirting? There is no reason at all to think so. CR could be the 2nd best big on the team next year. He might be starting some games for crying out loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bk18 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I don't know for sure. But I think SLU's roster listed on slubillikens.com is missing 2 walk-on's. They probably won't be on the roster until the first week of the season though in case RM wants to cut them or they disappear for unknown reasons like Max Banchy. I know the names, but I don't think I will talk until it is official. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he should 1 be on scholarship and 2 be a senior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BillikenReport Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 That was 09-10 roster. The 10-11 season roster is not up yet. That is the 2010-11 roster. Eckerle is listed as a redshirt junior because that's what he is technically. He was a junior last season but didn't play because of an injury, which means it turned into a medical redshirt season. So he is a redshirt junior this year and, if he wants to, can return next year as a redshirt senior (aka fifth-year senior). None of the heights and weights have been changed from the 2009-10 roster to the 2010-11 roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did not change the date on top. http://www.slubillikens.com/sports/m-baskb...baskbl-mtt.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACE Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 If Kowal comes here, it makes a lot of sense to redshirt Cory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archy McNally Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Yeah, you are probably correct. But 6'9 is his actual height. Here is a question, since you sound like you are in the know. Is that his height without shoes? Is that why the Bills are listed shorter compared to other teams when they actually are not. If you go out to the NBA draft measurements on the guys drafted, it gives an idea of what is going on. Larry Sanders 6-11 college 6-9.25 w/o shoes 6-10.5 w/ shoes Cole Aldrich 6-11 college 6-9 w/o shoes 6-11 w/ shoes DeMarcus Cousins 6-11 college 6-9.5 w/o shoes 6-10.75 w/ shoes Even Guards have the same issue: Jordan Crawford 6-4 college 6-3 w/o shoes 6-4.5 w/ shoes John Wall 6-4 college 6-2.75 w/o shoes 6-4 w/ shoes So it may just be that Majerus decided to measure the Bills (save Ellis) without shoes where nobody else does?
