Did Dajuan have a growth spurt?

I was just going to post about DC2, so I'll tack it on here...

What are people that have conversations with coaches, former players, etc, hearing about DC2 and his potential - both on the college and pro-levels?

The guy is fast, strong as an ox, has a nice touch and is a basketball player; not just a big guy that was told he should play basketball. He throws an outlet as good as any big man we've had. Also, I've talked to someone over the summer that said he's extremely coachable and a great kid/teammate.

So, what do people think when they envision him by the end of the season or during the next two years? Is he Arinze his senior year? However, I feel that's selling him short because AO never had DC2 athleticism though maybe AO was a more skilled as then I'm giving him credit for.

From what I heard about a month ago is that he was a beast in practice. Crossing fingers it translates in games .

That photo is a combination of DC2 jumping and Hop crouching.

That's just Hop doing his Hobbit impression. He wants in on that LOTR photoshop picture.

Not sure DC2 is more athletic than AO. AO had lower body issues most of his career but still had much more lift off the floor, especially from a standstill, than I've seen from DC2. I do however think that DC2 runs better or at least harder than AO.

We need to get Rothstein's take.

DaJuan is still growing. He's now the tallest player on the roster at 7'4", narrowly edging out JG by about half an inch.

LOLLL! Is that UK's Gollumari down there? You should 'shop out the ring and replace it with a stack of cash.

Alternatively, you could shop Coach K in as Gollerzewski and retitle it: "The Hopkit: the Desolation of the ACC".

In any event nice work on a short turnaround time.

thanks, Yeah you are right that is much better

You know, DC2 is not skinny by any means, but he looks pretty good in that picture. It's unfortunate that he's always going to have a round face, which will in turn make people always think he's fat even when he's really in pretty good shape right now.

 

[cusetown1]

ok, Yeah you were right that is better

Mike looks scared.

Mike looks scared.

Actually it looks like he's turning to the NCAA infractions committee member monitoring in-cave activities and saying: "Are you seriously not seeing this?!? I mean... look at Gollumari's bucket of cash! That's what's attracts the top 5 incoming Nazgul year after year!"

If he is half as explosive as this fellow big head we will be in great shape.

If that is true, how close would this team be to the record for the tallest team in the basketball history?

speaking of growth spurts I walked by Grant at one of the football games while he was standing next to Rak and Baye. He was clearly taller by at least an inch. Could be pushing 6'10
