After reading thread on recruiting two comments. First recruit who you can get or try to compete with higher level programs for bigger stars,seems to me that decision has been made. Second the heights of players listed has been and will continue to be stupid. Draft express publishes their actual heights with and without shoes. Example Kevin love is not as tall as LeBron despite his 6'10"program listing, the listing of Mike young will be interesting I see him at 6'6" sans-shoes when measured by the nba. Their is almost nobody taller than their measured height except Kevin garnett who did not want to be listed as a seven footer for fear of being made a post he still is 6'11" when many feel he is over seven. Height is no big thing reach , length of arms,vertical leap ect. Are the measurements valued.

Absolutely spot on--That's why Blair was able to effectively play center at 6-6 or so (in shoes). He has/had the strength and wingspan of a 7-footer.

Unless a center is 7 foot 280 pounds, can't run or jump, he isn't a "real center".

I believe it's a "true" center.

Or he's not playing his "natural position."

Haven't heard THAT one for a while.
