Jason Cudd had grown so tired of the question, one that’s been ever present in his young life. Derrick Hilton, Cudd’s coach at Socastee High School, joked if Cudd had a dollar for every time someone asked how tall he was, Cudd would be a wealthy man.
So he did something about it.
“I actually got a shirt made up when I was 17,” Cudd said.
It read:
7-1
17 years old
Plays basketball
“Those are the three questions,” Cudd said.
That’s life for the 7-foot-1 center. Cudd admits issues with catching his head on doorframes around the school, taking pictures out in public and using his height as a good conversation starter.
