w/o shoes Burke measured at 5’11", with shoes, consensus seems to be just over 6’1".

So to make a long story short Trey is 5’11.75 and the shoes are 1.5. Like I said Burke isn’t 6’1
Measurements are always with shoes. Take an inch and a half off everyone’s height if you want to do that.

Exactly my point
Burke is 6’1" in the environment where it matters how close he is to the rim, and where he plies his trade (i.e. on the court, in his shoes). If you want to gauge all players by their no shoe measurements, fine. Just please be consistent then when you’re referencing listed heights of potential recruits as well as current/former players, and please don’t make comments like “and we all know that” speaking for people who are not you.
LOL. You u don’t care about list heights. They PLAY in shoes, genius. Why would listed heights be in socks?
And if JB “recruits” finesse players, so does Izzo. Michigan offered Harris, Valentine, Costello and was recruiting Kaminsky. Brandon Kearney, Byrd, Payne. Izzo has a a commit from Davis(6-9, 205 soaking wet), is he finesse?
It’s about coaching style.
Standing reach > height
It’s amazing to me how angry people are with the state of UM’s recruiting, how certain people are of what “can’t” or “won’t” work, in the face of the last 3 years.
By the way, as far as I can tell, Bielfeldt has a jumper (shooting 43% from three with admittedly very low sample size). You can just say another Bielfeldt, if you want to make that comparison. And no recruiting system is flawless. The UM coaches aren’t perfect (although having a serviceable but limited big on the bench is hardly a fatal flaw), yet it seems they might’ve earned a little credit with their run of success.
Standing reach > height
Correct.
BTW, does anyone else get the feeling we held/ are holding off commitments from Davis and/or Coleman until Brunson decides? Odd.

Nope.
I think we’re looking at Coleman and Brunson for two different positions and I don’t think our coaches don’t play silly games like that.
I heard on a pod cast by Sam Webb that we would take both Jalen’s
Illinois board keeps promoting the view that Brunson worries about all of the guards here and that coupled with Coleman not committing back when and Eric Davis sounding like he really wants an offer just made me think a little.
Yeah, agree. They’d take both Jalens if possible, now.
We’re there any recruits at the Minny game this weekend?

What about the hair? Do they count that? Cause for some guys, that could be 0" or that could be another 4".
I think they should count the hair.
With SG Matthews recent declaration to Kentucky, does Kennard become potentially more viable for us? Hard to beat out a kids childhood “dream school,” but he has a great relationship with our staff.
