Or is that too old fashioned? You tend to assume that taller = better for basketball players, but I'm not so sure in this case here: If this kid is really taller than the Sears..ahem..Willis Tower, he's not actually going to be able to fit into any basketball arena much less the bandbox HS gymnasiums several A-10 schools call arenas. Even if you somehow got him inside the arena / on the court (say there was a retractable roof or something), he'd still have issues. Willis Tower is 1,461 feet tall. Let's assume the average 7 footer has feet that are exactly 12 inches long (this is probably grossly undersizing). Using the same ratio - this guy's foot is over 208 feet long and a basketball court is only 94 feet long. He'd always be out of bounds. Every time he touched the ball it would be a turnover. I really question Loy-Chi's coaching staff here. basebill123 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 He seems to be the same player as Nick Kern ---- good hustle, good drives, no outside shot. I'd say a Chicago kid going home but he's from Columbus, Ohio. He will upgrade the 'Blers overall athleticism which was extremely low outside of Alston.

I understand the frustration. But coaches have been seeking a better option for years. Coaches have become rich off college players for years. They have jumped ship for a better payday. I don’t blame the players at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Mr. Luis was man enough to return his $1000 initial payment. When coaches jump a contract, or gets fired, someone pays to terminate that contract. When a player skates on a deal in which he has accepted compensation, I hope he gets penalized in some manner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can’t tell me coaches aren’t working behind the scenes on their next job. HoosierPal likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
