Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 3308067, member: 1131"] After yesterday's commitment by Aaliyah Edwards, I went back (as others did) to watch the Canada-USA game that was played recently in Puerto Rico. This was the senior team for both sides (no age restrictions). The USA team included Sylvia Fowles, Tina Charles, Stef Dolson, Elizabeth Williams, Napheesa, and KLS (among relatively tall players). The Canadian team included Aaliyah (and the Canadian announcer for the game seemed to say her name as "Lee Edwards" --?). The gold mine for Boneyard-useful information came before the opening tip, when they displayed the heights of everyone on both rosters in hundredths of a meter. I'm assuming that this is more accurate than most listings in conventional feet/inches that we usually rely on. Here are the heights given for the players named above: [B]A. Edwards: 1.91 meters[/B] K. Samuelson: 1.92 E. Williams: 1.91 T. Charles: 1.93 O. Nelson-Ododa: 1.96 S. Dolson: 1.96 N. Collier: 1.86 S. Fowles: 1.98 A quick Google search revealed that the conversion rate between meters and inches is 1 meter = 39.37 inches. That also implies that one hundredth of a meter is equal to 4/10 of an inch (actually 0.3937 inches). So, Aaliyah's height in inches is 75.1967 inches, or 6 feet 3.2 inches tall. So she is NOT 6-2, as Hoopgurlz and others list her. She is in fact the same size as Elizabeth Williams, less than an inch shorter than Tina Charles, and a full two inches taller than Napheesa. She is taller than Morgan Tuck, if Morgan is in fact 6-2. That is plenty big enough to be an elite rebounder and post scorer at the NCAA level. I will put my comments on her game in the thread on her recruitment, but I thought that these seemingly precise height measurements deserved a thread of their own. [/QUOTE]
