    Looks like he is looking forward to making use of his academic abilities in a healthier career.
    Koppenhaver earned 2018 Academic All-ACC honors in addition to a 2017 CoSIDA Academic All-District pick.

    He graduated from Duke in May 2018 with a degree in psychology and certificate in markets and management and currently is pursuing a master’s degree in management studies.

    I thought one repeated the eighth grade to have better physical development before launching a starring high school athletic career. You know, like Christian Laettner and a gillion others.

    that's true, Sage, I keep waiting for that Zionesque growth spurt...hasn't happened yet, but I'm still hopeful.

    You are likely moving more quickly towards 285 lbs than 6-7...

    Regrettably, I am at the age where my height is beginning to diminish...if the trend continues, there will be an age at which I'll be about three feet tall...(weight holding steady, though, still 110 lbs shy of 285)...

    I'm pretty sure your jump shot is now a bit iffy.
