I'm just basing it off that he's been listed at 6-7 forever. Let's not get the height comparisons going. Someone will pop into this thread shortly that's for sure 6-4 and they stood next to Niang at the bus stop and Georges couldn't have been more than 2" taller than them.
Yeah. I figured a can of worms would be opened. Maybe Niang's grown some. He's still young to stretch a little.

While any positive pub he can get is great, I question the value of these things other than just sharpening the knife against better and better opponents. Isn't it obvious that Georges skills are ridiculously better than most. I mean they can't teach him to be 6' 10" or have a 42" vertical. He can certainly teach some of them some post moves including I dare say some of the pros.

Yeah. My guess is he's there strictly as an instructor. Also I gotta good feeling that next year they will call this the Lebron & Niang camp. Which should help us greatly in recruiting.

This is, quite frankly, a very dumb post. He's not really tall or can't jump really well so he should stop working on his skills? I can't comprehend what you are thinking.

I think tec71 is in law school. He was either joking or doesn't have the time to even give a ****.

Maybe they measured Georges in the morning, or with shoes, or they rounded up. That's all it is.

You're right, he should have stayed in Ames and focused on getting taller.

So true. Can't wait for football and basketball to start and this website to become more interesting and active again. I hate how slow it is, it is making work so awful for me lol.

Agree. It's so boring we have to call out our own and turn on each other.

So this Georges Niang character, think he'll throw one down hard this year to prove a point??

Well basketball anyways, unless you like the **** show meltdown threads after football games. Never can get enough dumpster fire gifs.

You can, actually, teach people to jump higher.

Of course, let's have Georges wear a pair of these bad boys around campus all fall, guaranteed hops!
