How tall is Solo Ball really?

[WlfdHusky]

Solo Ball is standing next to Dan Hurley - who is listed as 6-2. Dan is leaning lower towards Solo, Dan's shoes have a noticeably thinner\lower sole. Solo looks at least an inch or more shorter. Solo appears to be like 6' even or, Dan is really 6' 4". Just an observation. If Solo is 6' or 6'1" I think he will be around for his senior year. If Dan is really 6' 2" then Solo must be like 6' 0" or even 5' 11". I always thought Solo was actually the 6' 3" he is listed as.

But compared to Karaban at 6’8, 6’3 seems accurate

Dan is in the foreground.

Can we really use a picture to reach any real conclusion? If he is listed as 6’4” on their roster and he is only 6’ that pretty much indicates the official roster is useless. My guess is maybe 6’1.5” without shoes or 6’2”. I know I have a pair of Hoka’s that give me two inches and make me 6’ 🙂 . So yeah shoes can give you 2” easy.

Look ghis guy is almost as big as the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Some of my favorite threads are height argument threads

 

[husky429]

He's 6'3 in shoes.

 

[Mr. French]

He’s like 6’6 but they shortened him on the roster to keep him a secret from the NBA.

.886 Hilton Units

No. It’s dumb.

The real question: is Silas actually 7'6"? He's at least a head taller and dwarfs the rest of the team in that picture.

Solo’s hops and reach automatically add 3 inches to whatever height he really is.

He's 5'9 but his feet are huge.

You stole my thunder. I was going to post the same thing! Lol. With a 7 footer in the back court I think we'll be fine.

That Boneyard forensics team is something else.

I think the easiest way to eliminate all this confusion about height would be if the roster listed a consistent unit of measure like the Hilton unit instead of inches and feet. If we knew how many Hiltons each player was, we wouldnt need these threads because players height would then be universally understood and accepted. The hilton is impervious to camera angles and depth of field arguments.

 

[RuffRuff]

I stood next to him in Austin - I’d say 6’2” is a very accurate measurement for Solo. It’s one of the reasons we aren’t seeing him on any early mocks.

 

[Palatine]

Solo is huge. He towers over everyone.

And the dude coming out of the bathroom is a hobbit. These pictures are not accurate for height comparisons as they compress the depth of field for focusing.

Is it me or does Ross look like a grenade went off in every pic of him?

One of the best movies ever. They all played there roles perfectly. Did not really appreciate the role Del Toro played until the second time I watched it. But they really all hit it Pollack playing a role that showed his range compare him in this movie to the role he played in another classic A Few Good Men... but who is Keyser Soze. It was all of them until the end…..

Look at Alex the look on his face is classic. Looks like a time out during scrimmage, Demarybis clapping and the gray team is in time out.

Mostly off topic, but I had a student once tell me that if I ignored diabetes, they'd have to cut my feet off and they could add four or five inches to my prosthetics and I'd be taller.

The only thing that your thread and picture tell me for certain is the season really cant start soon enough.
