Last college basketball season, the Syracuse Orange measured as the tallest team in the country. Standing at an average height of 80.1 inches, Syracuse was one total inch taller than both Duke and San Jose State, who were tied for second tallest, per Ken Pom.
But it looks as though the Orange will be just a bit taller this season as Syracuse’s resident Slovakian in Marek Dolezaj shot up to 6-foot-10 this summer.
Updated heights and weights are in from @Cuse_MBB strength coach Ryan Cabiles. Would you believe the most significant change comes from @MarekDolezaj , who now stands 6-10?
