First three off the bench were 6’6, 6’8, 6’5.
Passing lanes were tricky to find at times.

Tonight FSU’s starting lineup went...
- Thread starter GE Nole
- Start date
I know, right? It’s pretty cool to see up close. Caught my attention even though I’m used to watching the tallest team in the country.
Next year would be a blast. The length we are bringing in is bonkers.
But I’ll pass the year y’all have Bates haha.
As a rare die hard Seminole hoops fan for years, Hamilton was an acquired taste for me. He was nerve racking at times, called timeouts in odd situations that killed momentum, substituted the hot hand and was almost solely defensive minded.
I really think it wasn't until the last five or so years that he developed a style and philosophy that works. Its well suited for today's game and the type of kids he recruits. And yes, he knows the game.
FSU doesn’t recruit guys who aren’t long. If an FSU player is 6’6, his wingspan is almost always 6’9+.
According to KenPom it’s the tallest team in the country for the second year in a row.
Seton Hall is two, Kentucky and USC are tied for third.
Arkansas is listed at 43rd.
Roster
You want the top 8 rotation or the top 8 tallest? They have 4 guys under 6'7", only 1 is a starter. Little too early to determine starters though with 12 new players on this roster
Last night, the starters went
6'6"
6'2"
6'6"
6'7"
7'3"
Obviously not the tallest starting lineup, they could obviously go bigger and will depending on the matchup, but its hard to believe there are 42 teams bigger overall
Edited to add 1st 3 off the bench
6'0"
6'9"
6'10"

I like how Ham always seems to have three 7-foot centers, and one of them is usually from Africa.

KenPom’s metric gives some weight to who’s actually playing. Sure having a 7’9 guy would be nice, but what if he only plays 1 min per game? Not really impacting things.
So with that said, my guess is your 6’0 guy is bringing you down. That’s below average size in power conference hoops.
Depending on what happens with the free COVID years, we could have as many as 5 next season!
If that does happen, you have to insist that all five of those 7 footers play together for at least one segment. Don't let me down.
The craziest lineup I've ever seen came with Roy's 2010 team. He had 6'11 John Henson at the 2, the Wear twins at the 3 and 4, and Zeller at the 5. Funny stuff.
He's a freshman who plays less than 10 mins a game. That's not it. I'm guessing Ken hasn't done his research, or better yet, guessed about who would play what amount of minutes. Our 7 footer logged 34 minutes one game haha. Trust me, this team is one of the longest in the country, easily.
Height isn't a important as wingspan...
So for the most part people look at wingspan to determine length.
But 6-6 with a 6-9 wingspan isn't particularly huge
Some 6-1 or 6-2 guys have 6-8 or 6-9 wingspans
Think it’s Scotty Barnes who has the wingspan of a player over 7’. Calhoun is going to be fun once he gets used to ACC comp.
Players who are like that can guard every position 1-5
They are perfect for positionless basketball.
Because you can rotate them on both sides of the floor
Barnes is 6'9" with a 7'2" wingspan from what I have seen. UK has several freaks like that too.
Height measurements without shoes:
Dontaie Allen 6'5" and 7'2.5" wingspan
Keion Brooks 6'6.5" and 7'1" wingspan
Lance Ware 6'8.25" and 7'1" wingspan
Isaiah Jackson 6'9.5" and 7'2.5" wingspan
Olivier Sarr 6'11" and 7'3.5" wingspan
To be fair, 43rd out of 350 is one of the longest in the country. You’re talking about half an inch separating 10-12 teams.
