Yes, you guessed it...UCF!
We have such great length at each position. Check out our starting lineup for the past 3 games compared to Kentucky's starting-5 last year (previous tallest ever).
UCF
PG AJ Davis 6'9
SG Adonys 6'6
G Walker 6'2
PF Shaheed 6'9
C Tacko 7'6
total 404"
Kentucky
PG Harrison 6'6
SG Harrison 6'6
SF Poythress 6'8
PF Towns 6'11
C Cauley-Stein 7'0
total- 403"
Last year Kentucky was known to have the tallest starting 5 ever known for a college team. They would have even been tied for the tallest starting 5 in the NBA last year, matching Orlando and Oklahoma City Thunder. "No regular starting lineup in the history of the NBA has gone taller than 405 inches" If UCF actually started a forward in that position like Blair (move Shaheed to the 3) we would have an additional 7 inches!! (411"
)
Only 2 NBA teams, "The 1995 Washington Bullets needed 7’7 Gheorghe Muresan to reach 405 inches, along with Juwan Howard, Chris Webber, Calbert Chaney and Skott Skiles. The 2007 Houston Rockets also hit 405 with Rafer Alston, Tracy McGrady, Shane Battier, Luis Scola and Yao Ming."
Donnie has truly recruited some length and it's obvious because it's making history.... just nobody knows about it because we aren't named "Kentucky". But believe that it's pretty impressive!
