Also CCM is measured, and it's documented at 6'5"(they now say 6'6"). If you look on the Tennessee basketball FB page, there's a picture of yemi accepting an award from CCM and standing side by side. Yemi is leaning slightly to shake CCMs hand and is still a good 3" taller than him.

Sorry but there's no way yemi is 6'6", as said already, hes 6'9" minimum.

Go look at the picture I linked, Woolridge and yemi are side by side, yemi is the same if not taller than Woolridge. And if you notice, yemi isn't standing up straight, I've seem them all up close, side by side in person, yemi is the tallest person on the team.

No doubt, Yemi is a legit 6'9" if not taller. Not sure what the other guy is talking about.

This. Volnation is funny sometimes about people disputing heights and weights because they have class with them. I remember somebody in the football forum trying to say that a 225 pound Herman Lathers was bigger and weighed more that a 280 pound offensive lineman (Mack Crowder)

I'm not an ignorant, idiot. I understand people's heights. You are all good posters, I just find it funny that you think that the heights listed for players are not skewed an inch or two in their favor. If Yemi was to ever go to an NBA combine he would measure in at 6'7. Nearly every player in college "loses" 2 inches when they hit the NBA official heights list. I could show a list but I'm a fool what do I know. Once again, not a pissing contest. We disagree, I'm not causing a big thing over it no need to go on.

Yemi is in a class I grade for, and there is no denying that he looks 6'6-6'7 every single time I've seen him on campus. I remember the first time I saw him, and I thought, "man, that dude looks a lot like Yemi, but he's not tall enough."

I have been saying this this whole time.

I had the exact same thoughts. Thanks.

Here's my thing with what you 2 are saying, I've seen him right next to Woolridge and stokes, yemi is taller. There is also a picture online of him standing next to cuonzo, who is every bit of 6'5-6'6 and yemi is CLEARLY a few inches taller.

So my point is, if yemi is 6'6" then Woolridge is 6'5, stokes is 6'4-6'5", maymon is 6'3". Yemi is the tallest guy on the team, outside of maybe Kenny, so if you're saying he's 6'6 then you're saying stokes and maymon are much shorter. I have a picture with stokes, dudes not 6'4" sorry.

The only proven measurables are coach Martin who measured 6'5" at the draft, and that's without shoes so you have to figure 6'6" with shoes. As I said, go look at the banquet pic, yemi has a minimum 2"-3" on coach Martin. With shoes yemi is every bit of 6'9".

Does it matter that much?

This photo has Tobias Harris in it. He measured 6'6.5" w/o shoes at the pre draft

University of Tennessee Athletics: Men's Basketball
DraftExpressProfile: Tobias Harris, Stats, Comparisons, and Outlook

Here is this years photo
University of Tennessee Athletics: Men's Basketball

Woolridge is in both photos. He looks about an inch taller than Harris in the first and about the same as Yemi in the second. So I would say Yemi is about 6'7.5"-6'8" w/o shoes.

[bleedingTNorange]

I didn't think of Harris i was trying to think of someone who would be in pix that'd have an official height.

So if Harris measures 6' 6.5" w/o shoes and Woolridge is an inch taller that means Woolridge is 6' 8.5" w/shoes. Yemi is definitely not shorter than Woolridge so...

That should settle it, yemi is ATLEAST 6'9" in shoes.
