Asbjorn Midtgaard 7'0 C 2017 a Shocker!

[Shocker1976]

Just how tall is this cat? I've seen him listed as 6'11", 7' and one site (http://abasketballacademy.com/global...jorn-midtgaard) lists him at 7'1"! And believe me, even an extra inch matters!

In the video link, AM states he is 7' 1"

Didn't HCGM say he wasn't as tall as Stutz? In my memory, Stutz was listed at 7', but my understanding is that he was probably closer to 7'1" and I even heard people say 7'2" a couple of times, though that seems generous.

6'11 just doesn't have the same prestige as 7'0 (;

He said he was probably a half inch shorter than Stutz.

His coach called him a legit 7 footer.

Yes, RMS, I know that, and so do most of us (I assume) -- I was just requesting that the title of his thread match the reality.

Oh, gotcha. Sorry. I think I misread your post.

Reading the tea leaves, I'd say he is 6-11.5 barefoot.

That's consistent with the website info I linked.

Nielson blows by Nielson, passes to Nielson for the easy, NO! BLOCK BY NIELSON!

That's why they have guys like Akoon-Purcell in the league, Royal. They need a little bit of name variation, and you won't find too many Akoon-Purcells in Denmark.

Of course, once the Great Dane comes over to blow the roof off CKA, he'll probably be the only Midtgaard on the court in any games here, too. So he'll be giving WSU fans our own dose of name variation.

With his treads on he is bound to be 6'12"? The first game Greg Dreiling played as a Shock and arrived on the court I was in awe of his height. Then along came Paul White whom some referred to as "hotdog fingers" because his hands were massive. When I met Paul, I was 'giving him the business' about joining Pro Wrestling when he graduated. Where is my commish for such great advise?

Asbjorn will be still another Shocker whom our Coaches found before he hit the radar of many other Programs. Coach Marshall told us when he first arrived, that they would go anywhere, even overseas to find players, even if it takes time as EO. Let's hope A.M. is a solid rim protector in the a.m., at the noontime, and during the p.m. moon-glow when the cows come home. Talented bigs are hard to find and we have this young man for 4 Seasons.
