What’s the value in lying here. Very little to gain by lying but if come the combine Smith is only doing 42 inches that’s a lot of egg on their faces.

Isn't the normal measurement a standing vertical? In the video it looks like Smith had a running start.

So this is how they do it at the NBA combine it looks like.

Also saw the below tweet that Morgan improved his vertical by 10+ inches. I did not expect Marshall to be another charlatan strength coach so hopefully we see these eye popping improvements on the court this year.

I'm with this right here. If I recall, the freshman were on video earlier in the summer showing a standing vertical. You can clearly hear Smith get a head start. That being said, Smith did outleap Forrester for the tip in the scrimmage...and Jake is no slouch about getting up.

Seems to be much more science based from what I have seen. But lying about gains your players make is an extremely short term strategy. These kids talk and other coaches talk to them.

Standing vertical and max vertical are both measured at the combine

[Myrmidon76]

So what we are seeing from Smith would be max vert then? Wow! Hope it translates.

Why do I get the feeling we are going to be stressing about Smith and possibly hunter returning next year.

You just have to stop and think, does Justin smith have the highest vertical in college and nba history?

That’s what 48 inches is

This is vertical, Bridges, not waistline.

Yup, 3.3 inches per child. Sounds about right.

We won’t. Morgan and Langford are all big ten and maybe BTPOTY candidates. If we also have both Hunter and Smith playing at a first round draft pick level then we had a monster year and will have all the momentum to reload next year

You just love those logical fallacy. Just because 2 players are going to play well doesn’t mean two others won’t also. 

And they don’t have to play to that level to get drafted. NBA loves potential lol probably more than actual performance.

I think you may have missed his point. He is suggesting if we had that kind of season then we won't be stressing because we will be rolling. Or at least I believe that is what he is suggesting
