Henry Coleman

… Perhaps your sarcasm detector needs a tuneup!

I guess it does need to be tuned up.

GoDuke!

We're here to help!

I'll always remember that Spike Albrecht was listed at either 5-11 or 6-0 throughout his Michigan career. I passed him on the quad one day and it certainly seemed we were at the same level, and I'm a 5-9. So there's no way Albrecht was ever 6-foot tall. Those heights are to be taken with a grain of salt, always.

I recall Spike parlaying his 15 minutes of fame into a date with a supermodel, how did that work out?

Close...Albrecht parlayed his 15 minutes of fame into a tweet where he asked Kate Upton on a date. It went no further than that.

Duke has options and versatile bigs.
Traditional center type players in Williams and Tapé. Forwards in Hurt, Johnson, Brakefield and Coleman that can play in combinations for periods of time too. I think K will enjoy having a roster where he can find his mismatches and utilize the players strengths.

I'm seeing an 11-player rotation. Maybe 12, with Worthington.

Disagree. Guaranteed 15 man rotation. Triple platoon system.

good one! There's my "complement" for the day!

how many grains of salt would he have to be stepping on to get to 5-11?

[Fish80]

Depends. Coarse sea salt? Dry, so no stickiness? About 200 million.

Worked out well for then Tiger pitcher Justin Verlander.

[Rickshaw]

dennis rodman is 6'7". seems he had a pretty strong inside presence. i'll take a 6'7" with heart over a 6'10" without heart.

Ran into mr. Rodman one night at the ‘hard rock’ in Newport Beach...many years ago.
Sugar Ray (the singer) was there. Local band was very good.
Rodman and his entourage ( three guys taller than him ) had a room in back..
Came out every hour or so to terrorize the staff. All good.
Went up to him, touched his arm and was going to tell him I think he was a great player..
All four guys turned (very slow) , no words , just looks. Thought I was dead.
They figured a six foot runt was not worth the trouble and left. Love Newport Beach.

I also met Rodman several time and had lunch with him with other people. Pretty cool dude. Daughter is a good soccer player in SoCal and played for an elite Club called SoCal Blues.

Marc Mcgrath, of Sugar Ray, dated my good friends now step-mom. That's about all I have to add to this. Never met Rodman.

I've been vocal on here about how tall Henry Coleman is and I must admit that I was wrong. He's a big dude. Here he is standing next to David McCormack (6'10" C, Kansas), Armando Bacot (6'10" C, UNC), Javin DeLaurier (6'10" F, Duke), and Mamadi Diakite (6'10" F, Virginia). Henry is a grown man. He's at least 6'8". Built like a truck. Goodness.

If he's the one in the Sonny's Workshop shirt then we're definitely looking at a redshirt

Nice job on the picture, DBA. Not exactly cinder blocks, but the tiles on the wall are a pretty good measuring stick. Don't care for the light blue color, though.

Takeaways:

Look at the difference in legs. Strong vs skinny.
Delaurier is not 6'10"
If there has to be a fight, I know who I want on my side.

If I had that build, I wouldn't wear a shirt either.

[Nrrrrvous]

Funny, here's the conversation in my head when I looked at the pic.

"Hmm. He's the only one not wearing a shirt."
"If you looked like that, would you wear a shirt?"

[Nrrrrvous]

If I had that build, I wouldn't wear a shirt either.

I'm reminded of the (I believe) "Between the Ferns" interview with Matthew McConaughey...

ZG - "I see you are wearing a shirt. Is there something wrong?"

... or something like that.

The social distancing effort here is abysmal.
