Can any insiders confirm?

why do you stand in holes?He’s 6’6”.
If you stand in a two-inch deep hole, he looks 6’8”, so easy to see how that rumor started.
YesThe kid can jump 4 feet straight up in the air. Does it really matter if he’s 6’6” or 6’8”?
Because usually the bottom is too wet to sitwhy do you stand in holes?
You’re always fixating on the smallest details so that’s no surpriseYes
This is what I'm thinking, 6'8 is probably an exaggeration.My take: He’s been 6’6 for a while and probably grew a bit and is now 6’7
Mausurement?
By that pace he'll be 7'2 in his senior year. Looking forward to it.

At one point this year, even for one substitution... I hope we go suuuuuper small and play him at the 5 if his post up D is good enough.I don't believe it's correct.
Saw in a tweet about a week ago of one of the people reporting from practice that Jackson was 6'8". Based off pictures and all published UConn info he is 6'6".
I did say if he is anywhere near a legit 6'8" it definitely allows him to play extended minutes as a true 3 vice a 2/3 combo. Regardless of vertical, 2" gives him a taller frame opponents need to look over and around for passing lanes and gives him a bigger area for covering defensive assignments.

What I like about Hurley, is he really helps his kids grow.
My initial impression based on clips and comments is that he may not be a starter at the beginning of the season, but by March he'll be better than JordanFor comparison, Michael Jordan was listed at 6'6". Just saying . . . .
If you let it happen.You don't go through life, you grow through life.
