I would have to guess steve hamer - i think he may have been a 7 footer

 

[Slydell]

Tom Boerwinkle was the first, I think, at 7 feet. He's the one you hear stories about Stu using a broom in training on. Met him a few times back then. Pretty odd standing with someone that tall.

Damn, looks so weird moving.

I met a couple UK basketball players over the years...shagari alleyne, Lukas Orbzut, and Daniel Orton. Scary to be next to them. Even Daniels dad, Larry Orton (6'10) was gigantic.

 

[volatil]

Believe we had a guy named Snodgrass in the 80s who was over 7'

 

[vols-1]

This guys brother is only 7'3"

Nick name Shorty

I think the first "big man" Tennessee had was Orb Bowling @ 6'10".

John Snodgrass, the great white hope. He was 6'9"

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Kevin Nash was 6'9

 

[Giveem6]

Was major Wingate not around the 6'11 mark?

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

We had Phillip Jurick not too long ago(he transferred to Chattanooga State, then to Oklahmo State). He was 7'0".

You guys remember Kenny George(7'7") at UNC Asheville a few years ago?

I went to that game. Never seen anybody that huge in my life. He wasn't completely terrible at basketball either. He was pretty good at distributing from the free throw line. Like a giant eye in the sky point guard.

John Snodgrass - I think he weighed about 150...

Don't remember him. Also don't remember when Tracey Morgan played for us...

I remember that guy, from Chattanooga I think. :lol:

I believe you are right. Boerwinkle was 7' and came along way before Hamer at 7'.

We also had Dan Federman who was 6' 10" and Doug Roth who was 6' 11". Wingate was 6' 11" too.

I'll never forget Roth flipping the LSU crowd off. Heh.

That's Sinbad.

 

[LittleCat]

Speaking of Kenny George...Pschyo T's dunk on him was sweeeeeeeet.

 

[Shaun1985]

Kenny George was a class act. This kid from New Mexico State has a younger brother that reclassified for 2014. He's 7'3

That's Brian Williams, isn't it? Wasn't he like 6'10?

When a 6'10 guy is being towered over, something is very wrong.

 

[vol445]

I work with Scott Moore he was 7'1" at ut now he is like 7'3". We played high school ball. In the 8 th grade he was 6'10" and a size 16 shoe
