Wouldn’t mind dybansta, Flagg and edgecombe catching a glimpse

 

[Magic32]

Hoping he also does some recruiting while there

 

[Huskyforlife]

Alex is gonna have his hands full recruiting Flagg and AJ while also dominating the competition.

 

[Umami Zen]

Wonder if Brad Stevens will be doing a fly-by just to see how JT is coaching up his guys

 

[Mister P]

They may be battling each other one day.

Easy to get open when Tim Robinson is guarding you

Tatums shoes are thicker, Karaban is back from the camera lens a couple inches more than Tatum

to be fair, tatum is kinda infamous around the nba for being sneaky huge. think he could easily be listed at 6'10" if the nba still allowed teams to list "height in shoes".

and karaban is probably more like 6'7" anyway.

Alex looks a little thicker through the shoulders to me. All that S&C time paying off.

We have a history of odd height listings. I think we probably ask players what do you want to be listed at.

Anyone with a sibling knows it doesn't count until you're back to back in bare feet.

No tippy toes

I'd rather think it's based on in shoes

They're nearly identical at knees and waist but Tatum's shoulders are a good 2" higher than Karaban and Tatum is about 2" taller than Karaban.

Um, no.

Practically everyone in that camp is about the same size. Will be an interesting group photo for sure.

Um, no.

I was referring to how UConn lists the players, the quoted post was talking about that. Not the comparison between Tatum and Karaban.



UConn lists players height w/ shoes. It's pretty clear looking at combine measurements this past year where they only took measurements without shoes:

Newton w/o shoes 6'3.5 - listed by UConn at 6'5
Sanogo w/o shoes 6'7.25 listed by UConn at 6'9
Hawkins w/o shoes 6'4.25 listed by UConn at 6'5
Jackson w/o shoes 6'5.5 listed by UConn at 6'6

Sanogo's was the only real question mark.

For reference 1 to 1.5 inches is pretty normal to tack on for a w/ shoe height.

Martin w/o shoes 6'5.5 listed by UConn at 6'6 (with shoes at Gleague event 6'6.75)
Bouknight w/o shoes 6'3.5 listed by UConn at 6'5 (with shoes at combine 6'4.5)


Karaban is listed at 6'8 on the UConn website, it would seem he's closer to 6'6.5 or so based on how UConn usually lists heights. Tatum didn't participate in combine results so it's unclear if his listed 6'8 is with or without shoes. I would guess without. There are reports of him being 6'7.25, or 6'7.5 without shoes but the ones I found looked unreliable and/or when he was still in high school.
