"Little ditty about Jack and ..."

[LaoHawk]

... Luka," Two American Kids Growin Up in the Heartland, Jack's going to be, oh a Hawkeye star, Luka's debuting on Media Court of Carver Hawkeye Arena... Fans slurping on ice cream cone outside the arena, Luka's got both hands on the ball passing to Jack's lap, he got his jam between the nets, Jacky says "Hey Luka lets run back to defend behind the threes...

Ok, both signed, both 6' 11"s, can block, and ball!

Future is bright!!!

Very awesome

Both 6'11?

Nunge looks like Uthoff 2.0. That will be a fascinating combo with him and Weiskamp.

 

[Buffalo43]

Can someone confirm their heights?

 

[StormHawk42]

The Iowa press release had them both at 6'11. It also said Nunge is 220. Most of the stuff I've seen on him has him at 6'9 200 so either he grew or Iowa got a bit carried away. I think Garza is a legit 6'11.

They are definitely at least 3-4 inches taller than Greg Brunner. Whether that puts them at 6'9" or 6'11" is open to debate

They look to be very close to the same height in the photo with Sherm on the Lounge board.

Didn't Brunner grow something like 12-13 inches during his career? Or did he grow, then shrink again? I just remember the listings for his height were wildly inconsistent.

Welcome to Iowa Jack and Luka!

The "how tall are they" thing again.

They are too tall to be traditional point guards, I'll tell ya that!
They are too tall to be any good defending the wing, even if they are good at defending the wing.
They'd better be able to dunk everything inside of five feet or they are too tall to be athletic!
They are too tall to be chasing anyone around hedging on the screen!
Too tall to be outside thinking about a three point shot when they ought to be rebounding!
Too tall not to block every shot!
Too tall!
Not tall enough to be as tall as listed!
Greg Brunner, Greg Brunner, Greg Brunner!
Too not tall enough to go up against Legendary Haas the Giant!
Too not tall enough to not bother talking about how too not athletic enough they are!

Dr. Seuss lived in DanL... Per Fran on the pregame interview, Jack is 6'10", believe it or not...
