This Canadian actually looks pretty athletic and has some decent ball skills. Big challenge for the SEC next year.

He doesn’t have that overly lanky disposition of Takko Fall or Chet Holmgren either

That’s insane.


I worked with a UVA bbal player that was 7’4”.

He ended up having an aortic dissection after he was freshman all ACC. You can hear his artificial valves click in a quiet room.


He is an excellent sales person today.

a lot of foot fractures incoming.

I don't know why but these giant men break bones in their feet at what my unscientific mind thinks is a much higher rate than shorter players.

Its time we examine what the hell they are putting in the food....BIG BAD JOHN ~ Jimmy Dean (1961) 6'6" 245. He was considered a giant at that time.

Incoming Florida freshman Olivier Rioux is set to be the tallest player in college basketball history at 7-foot-9.

This is probably not a good thing. Dude will be uncoordinated as all get out.

Looks like when LSU had Andrew "Tuba" Del Piero in the lineup

Damn he probably made some JV ballers cry. Some kids don't even hit puberty until 12 or 13 so a 7ft dude is going against a literal child is bonkers

Should block a few shots I guess.

Probably too slow to get much pt. Very interesting though.

He will be a trainers nightmare.

No one that height can escape ortho issues.

Preach, brother. My oldest granddaughter is 11. She’s 5’8”. Her mom is 5’2”, her dad is 6’2”. The way she’s growing, she’ll be taller than me by the time she’s 13, and probably pass her dad before she turns 14

Yeah Jace Laviolette is probably going to re-injure his hamstring this weekend too.

When in the frick did it become OK to predict a player to get injured or even talk about the possibility of it?

He’s not some 7’9” mystery box.

You can view his athleticism, right now.
