Dude can move surprisingly well too! I hope he stays healthy.
Florida also has 6'10", 6'11" and 7'1''
I guess they could go with a really big lineup

Well, that looks silly! It looks like a Dad playing with a bunch of 10 year olds!
Si, he's the next "Big" thing?
Seems a tad game breaking. At what point do we create a height limit for college? This is like letting a 250lb wrestle a 150.
I used to be able to do that (with a Nerf ball) and the hoop hanging over my door.
I wish this video was set to clown music.
I know he'll make a $hit-ton of money, but I wouldn't wish that height on anyone. Life in general would be a complete pain.
The kid goes to IMG Academy. I'm pretty sure they tell the kids there where they will be playing in college. 
Ok, that's not really true but that place has pretty much ruined high school sports in Florida. Teams don't like playing them because they will see whoever your good players are and then steal them from your team for next season.
On the other hand, it's a great school for your kids to go to and they are really good at getting their recruits...um, I mean student-athletes, full rides for college. So, yeah, if I had a kid good enough to play for them you better believe I'd send them there in a heartbeat.

I say no one over 10 ft tall.
I lost it a little when he blocked a shot with his bicep.
At this rate the dude in the video may be excluded, then.
He should have come to Iowa to win @EvilMonkeyInTheCloset a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
If he keeps growing, he could be the first 8'0" player in D1 history.
Will he be the tallest ever regardless?
Someone Edey can actually look up to.
It's not just that. Super tall people tend to have relatively shorter lifespans compared to others as they are prone to early heart diseases and more cancers. In addition they tend to experience a much higher rate of bone and joint issues. Simply put, being super tall can be very bad for your health, just as being morbidly obese is.

Hey now we did beat Purdue with Edey on the team once upon a time.......
Lots of tall guys have major heart issues. “I think” it has something to do with the heart just can’t pump the blood everywhere it needs to go on a consistent basis. (Doctors weigh in) I know Scott Pollard who played at Kansas just had a procedure and they were talking about it. Wish him a long healthy life!
Anyone else think this headline was for women's basketball?
Caitlin Clark effect on this board. I just assume everything is women's basketball now.

Wonder if he has Marfan syndrome. If his parents are average height chances are there’s some genetic anomaly going on. And yes, not uncommon for people with Marfans to have heart problems.
They had a video out about this guy a little while ago. Watching him ducking in and out of class rooms, sitting at his desk, and driving his car, (I believe he took out the front seat). I doesn't look like much fun. To his credit, he really seemed to be a nice kid. Hope he stops growing soon though.
Fran would have this guy at the 3.... maybe 4
