They did release this video though of all the guys doing some very nice dunks in slow-motion: LINK

I kind of jumped the gun on the OP, but I kind of assumed some of the pictures would come out today
My bad

7'0", 265 pound manchild for sure. I think our smallest lineup could average around 6'7". Crazy.

I think we are going to be a crazy good fast break team since everyone will be able to rebound and WCS can get down the court FAST.

Wasn't that the average a couple of seasons ago when we had the tallest team in basketball?

Probably Cal's first team. I'm pretty sure Bledsoe was the only rotational player that year under 6'4", which didn't really matter because he may be one of the most athletic people I have ever seen.

They've been pretty big since Cal showed up. As RTR said, I think Wall and Co. was the biggest on average.
This was from the UKAthletics.com blog about the measurement additions to the lineup:
quote:
The first thing that comes to mind when looking at the roster is lineup possibilities. Say, for example, Coach Cal wants to go big. It might look something like this:
G - Andrew Harrison - 6-6, 215
G - Aaron Harrison - 6-6, 218
F - Julius Randle - 6-9, 250
F - Willie Cauley-Stein - 7-0, 244
C - Dakari Johnson - 7-0, 265
Perhaps even more amazing is a potential "small" UK five.
G - Andrew Harrison - 6-6, 215
G - Aaron Harrison - 6-6, 218
G - James Young - 6-6, 215
F - Alex Poythress - 6-8, 239
F - Julius Randle - 6-9, 250
For a little perspective, UK's average height with that lineup would be 6-7. According to kenpom.com, only two teams in the country (Princeton at 6-7.2 and Syracuse at 6-7.1) had taller average heights during the 2012-13 season. UK's big lineup comes in at an astounding average height of 6-9. No team since the 2006-07 team has had an average height of more than 6-7.4.

Two things jumped out at me right away looking at the team pic. 1. Those guys aren't just tall, they're big. Not built like freshmen where they have to put some muscle on. 2. All the white guys are juniors and seniors.
Seriously though, scary looking group.
