Players height

[Mort]

Does anyone know the actual height of the players. It seems they post the same number when they were
In high school.

in sneakers or bare feet? Hard to know that.....................I'm not sure even the players know or care once they reach college................

For the last 5+ years, the Boneyard has been measuring players’ height in Hartley Units.

Who knows. KLS for example has been called anything from 6-2 to 6-5 this year during TV broadcasts. ONO is often referred to as 6-4 when I think she is really 6-5. It's one of those things we'll never truly know along with how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop.

My wife is a Tootsie Roll Pop aficionado . I am sure she knows the average number of licks it takes to get to the center. As to the young ladies height, she is not at all certain. She did say they were all taller than she is, though. Perhaps there is no interrelatedness between the two?

Athletic ability and desire are much more important. I would rather see those 2 things in a 6 foot player than a 6' 5" player who does not possess those 2 qualities.....I will always remember "6 foot" Shea Ralph battling the big "guys" under the boards.

And I loved opening jump balls with 5’11” Gabby almost always winning the tip.

On the men's side, almost all of the heights are measured with shoes on. Roster heights can easily be compared to official heights, with and without shoes, measured at the combine. Of course some heights are also exaggerated but not the majority of the players who attend the combine.

As for heights being the same as HS heights, almost all girls are done growing by Age 17, so their height as seniors in HS usually will be the same when they are seniors in college.

When are they going to publish weights for WCBB?

Yep, I recall ONO was measured 1.2225 Hartley units. (in round numbers), Then WNBA uses Jefferson not size--heart.

We are using the British units--STONES. Unfortunately, when I get stoned I don't remember their weights.

I thought that most females stopped growing vertically around 8th or 9th grade (14 or so). There are exceptions, of course, like A'ja Wilson.
