Speaking of…

we have to find someone’s mamma to replace Fabian’s mom. She was top notch!!! I remember so many games when I could hear her over the other team’s cheerleaders. She’s an all-time great! We need another (or more) like her!!! Loud and proud!

The person who made that instagram post about Ced Lath is actually Dedan Thomas mom

Ced and Dedan are really good friends. I believe played at the same HS

Height is easily overlooked when watching the game on tv. I remember us playing Georgetown at the old Hofheinz and I believe their smallest front court player was 6’10”. In person, it was very easy to see why those guys were getting the rebounds, but is often hard to tell watching on tv since the cameras are pretty far away and you may be talking about 3-4” in difference.

I hope he commits soon and comes over in the Spring next year. Shead will be a senior, so there’s a chance we start a freshman at PG. Sharp may even leave after next year if he has a really good year. Dedan getting that extra practice with our guards would benefit us and him.

Cedric Lath: 6’10 with 7’2 wingspan :slight_smile:

I see what Coach means now about wingspan being more important than height.

Javier Francis 6’8 with 7’5 Wingspan

Just about the same as The Dream.

“Basketball height” is the average of height and wingspan.

Akeem didn’t have that body when he first got here.

Did anyone get clarification from Coach Bishop on shoe ,sock, or bare feet ?

Doesn’t matter. He’s not 7’!

Robert Williams on the Celtics is 6’9", but is a beast on defense. Gets so many blocks and is a monster lob threat. It’s all in his wingspan.

I heard it’s barefoot, but he had a lot of calluses that might be adding artificial height

I’m really surprised Cedric can get up that high at 250-260 that’s insane. His head is dang near at the rim
