I’ve got a really nice story for you all:

I just had a Bloomington college frat reunion weekend. A bunch of guys in their 50’s reminiscing. A truly perfect end to the weekend?

Five of us walking down the stairs of the Union after brunch at the Tudor Room at 11:15 this morning.

Waiting for us at the bottom of the stairs in the Union Hotel lobby? Woody and Walsh with Kaanan Carlyle and his mom. We chatted up Carlyle for two or three minutes and congratulated him—shook his hand and welcomed him to the family. He’s got a really easy smile and nice way about him. Looked us all in the eye and had that “Indiana is different” happy look.

Handshakes with Woody: “love you Coach-great month we’re having.” Woody handshake back- “appreciate it guys.” Talked with him for a minute or two. Trailing behind us was Ya, Kenya, and a very wide awake and engaged Armond Hill.

Great stuff.

That’s better than average. Question: Is Carlyle a legit 6’3”? Curious because he and Rice are both listed 6’3” and yet in that picture from their visit Rice is clearly taller. So either Rice is 6’4” or Carlyle is 6’2”.

Carlyle is more or less a legit 6’3”. About the same height as Woody. I’m 6’0”” without shoes and he was noticeably taller than me.

PS; I stood next to Mackenzie Holmes, Chloe, and Garzon on the Little 500 concourse yesterday.

Felt like Chloe was a little shorter than me, Garzon was an inch or two taller than me, and Holmes is 100% legit 6’3”.

So Rice is 6’4”, so much the better. And I don’t know if it’s actually true, but’s it’s always seemed to me like girl’s measurements are almost always accurate while a decent percentage of boy’s are definitely exaggerated.

Garzon and Holmes are both listed at 6’3” and standing next to them that is bullsh!t; Holmes is easy two inches taller.

When I was in HS we (boys team) always 1) measured in shoes and 2) surely rounded up from at least .5. So you can easily get an extra 1” or 1.5” from those two in concert, as I’m sure you know.

It’s always a hoot where some of those end up. I’m 6’4” and the number of kids listed as 6’5”, because that’s the magic number for college wings, that I’ve looked down on has always made me laugh. Happened just a couple of weeks ago with VJ Edgecombe. Listed at 6’5” and I’m taller than he is.

All good thanks for sharing that Stuhoo.

That last line I don’t know if everybody got that but what a smile to my face:)!

I was totally sucked in until you said Armond Hill was wide awake. Just too unbelievable, Stu :D

It's really true!

After we saw Carlyle, Woody, and Walsh, we walk out of the revolving doors at the entrance to the Biddle lobby and Ya, Armond, and Kenya are coming in yukking it up big time. Armond was leading the good vibes session.

Earlier today Assembly Call posted this tweet comparing 2 freshman guards.  I'm not into guessing games so I'll tell you that A = Jalen Hood-Schifino and B = Carlyle.  Just an interesting comparison
