Google tells me 213 cm = 83.85 inches, which is just under 7 feet (84 inches).

I don’t do math this early in the morning…..

I feel helpful today, 6'10" for us Yanks

 

[Birdus]

That looks like Brad in the green trunks.

Looks like his height in cm is about the same as his weight in lbs.

Or……insiders pass nothing of what they are hearing, there is no news to talk about, and we all hibernate until October or hit the football news.

The current MO is more interesting, to say the least.

No no no, don't do that right now, anything but that. Why? Oh, uhhhhh, it's uhhhhh, under renovations, that's it. Has nothing to do with it being a landscape of depressing recruiting results and talented players leaving or being a bastion of despair as we accept our inevitable melancholic future. Yeah, everything's great, those are crazy thoughts, just... crazy... Anywho, best to stay here, wouldn't want to breathe in any asbestos as they're fixing the place up over there. Oh, how long is it going to take them to finish? Yeahhhhhhhhh, uhhhhhhhh, let me get back to you on that one... *gulp*

Illinois should talk to Ryan Mutombo. Good size, but raw. I think he's heading back to Georgia, but you never know.

 

[Illini2018]

We have our wing

Be interesting to see where Nico ends up. If he wants a major role it would seem his best move would be an OVC, Horizon, Southland type destination.

 

[jjniner]

Here is my take.. if anyone cares! All these other schools throwing around big NIL money already.. once these NBA players declare to opt out and go back to college, we can have our pick of the litter!

I don't know why but I feel like he will end up in the West Coast. Maybe St Marys.

I wonder if he heads back to play in Europe
