I'm 6'7" and passed Yoeli on campus once or twice. I was slightly taller than

I don't think I believe the 40" vertical..

He said "around 40 inches" That could be anywhere from 35-38

I have around a 40" vertical too. Meaning around 25 years ago I could jump high.

Love Lohner, but vertical highly questionable. That’s a > vert than Kobe/DWade

Not a chance that's true. But still good athleticism for his bulk.

I heard someone say Kolby Lee looks like a Serbian bouncer. Seems about right

Honestly he scared me a little. That's an apt description...

Well, Barkley was only 6'4 or 6'5 and he made a pretty good career of being a 4

Whoops. Meant for original post

Yes, Yoeli was shorter than advertised — but in all honesty his length more

He's got a lot to work on, no doubt. His current skill set leaves a lot of hope

Last (3) years of growth? He was a Freshman 6'7" 200 lbs, Sophomore 6'7" 210 lbs

I think you keep over-reading me. If you go back & read my posts you'll see my

So a video calls him a "shooting guard" yet he is the tallest player on the

I'm not disagreeing early projections would naturally see him in the paint

SinkingQuffa

6/29/20 5:06pm

Seriously? The game has completely changed. Lots of kids have this skill set

gp232

6/29/20 5:26pm

To put it as plain as I can: I've never seen BYU recruit a kid like Lohner.

SinkingQuffa

6/29/20 5:33pm

Here is a video for you. Top Freshman. Heard of Bronny James? Way different

gp232

6/29/20 5:33pm

And how is this relevant to anything I'm saying about Lohner?

Really. Here is your quote "but the issue I keep pointing to — that you keep

So you got half the equation (I'm assuming that kid is quite a bit better

SinkingQuffa

You are right. BYU has never had a 6'8"-6'10" player that has a nice jump shot

Kevin's from my era. That's goin back a-ways. Even still,

How many games did you watch live at Wasatch? You must have gone to his games

gp232

6/29/20 9:41pm

Where are you getting that he's 6'9?

Lip Gallagher

6/29/20 4:20pm

Wasatch Academy listed him at that

puntersarepeople

6/29/20 5:17pm

IOW he ain't no 6'9.

Lip Gallagher

6/29/20 6:15pm

Yes but he probably wasn’t 6’7 as a freshman

puntersarepeople

6/29/20 6:25pm

Definitely not.

Lip Gallagher

He kind of reminds me of Brady Jardine (white guy for USU with mad ups)

Yoeli is about 6-6. Short neck, long arms...plays much bigger.

Players are listed at 2-3" over real height generally, so this makes sense.

Mitty

6/29/20 3:55pm

You wore heels on campus? Not possible his listed height was over actual 🙂

Saw Mat Haarms on campus today. I'm slightly shorter than him.
