I don't discredit you, but for the most part you don't see that. I never said it couldn't happen, but most of the kids I know, I'd be really surprised to see them grow 5 more inches. Stronger, yes for sure, but a growth spurt like that is prob not the norm, although I don't have statistics to back up my words. I hope they all grow to 6'5 or better and all get basketball schollys all over the country. Most of the past stars of the 15th region , that I can think of, didn't do much growing (height wise) from their Freshman year on. Maybe you can name me a few that grew 5 inches or more who were impact players early and greatly improved their college stock from that added height. I'm not trying to be argumentative, I just enjoy discussion. How tall was Todd May when he started high school? he was alittle before me. I know Vanhoose was pretty tall as a freshman. Heff Conley was as tall in 8th as he was as a senior. Hall at JC was really tall in 8th. How tall was the Johnson kid formerly from SCHS when he was in 8th grade? It just seems to me if your gonna be tall, you're tall by age 15. Yes the Swindall kid is tall and could grow to 6'5 and add some muscle and he will be a very good high school player. I guess my point was if you're not already in that upper 5% of height, probably not gonna happen. The kids that are all 5'8- 5'11 rt now, gonna be tough being competetive thru out the state with a bunch of 5'11 to 6'2 kids when their juniors and seniors. Most of the good 8th grade teams in this region, this past year, were made up of mostly smaller kids who all ran the floor well and worked hard on the glass. Thats great in 8th grade, but tough to continue in high school.
