I took the liberty of editing the Buff Bods pic from Hudy to include a # for each player on this year's 15 man squad.

Name the ones you can identify and earn eternal glory on the RCB! (Ok, maybe you'll get selected for the occasionally recurring RCB All-Stars listing, but beyond that, who can really say?)

And no fair looking at the official KUAD roster!
I could only positively identify 9 of the 15 -- Mitch, Lagerald, Dok, Silvio, Marcus, David McCormack, D & KJ Lawson and Chris Teahan -- before looking at it for the rest of the crew.

Picture source: Andrea Hudy tweet 2018-09-25

As an assist, here is the name of each team member for this year's squad --

Ochai Agbaji
Udoka Azubuike
Silvio De Sousa
Devon Dotson
EJ Elliott
Marcus Garrett
Quentin Grimes
Dedric Lawson
KJ Lawson
Mitch Lightfoot
Garrett Luinstra
David McCormack
Charlie Moore
Chris Teahan
Lagerald Vick

Hope ya have fun!

I was hoping for a little preseason interest in this one, but c'est la vie!

As already noted, I could only positively identify 9 of the 15 -- Mitch, Lagerald, Dok, Silvio, Marcus, David McCormack, D & KJ Lawson and Chris Teahan -- before looking at the KUAD roster for the rest of the crew.

Help me out here por favor:

I'm not impressed with Vick's "posing" antic (cf. Mitch on how to flex), but what's the deal with the horizontal "v for victory" hand sign by so many players? :huh:

You kids get off my lawn!!! :woohoo:

I crosse paths with Grimes on campus going to class on Thursday. I am 6'4" in my running shoes. Grimes has at least 3-4" on me. Is he still growing?

He's listed at 6-5, usually that is done in shoes, but not sure in his case... and not sure if he is still growing or not.

I know I was done with my growth spurt in the 9th grade (jumped 5 inches from 8th grade to 9th and was an uncoordinated mess until a senior in HS).

I also know that David Robinson entered the Naval Academy meeting the height requirements and had to get a waiver to stay at Annapolis as he sprouted to 7'.

And I just learned that Dennis Rodman grew a whole 12" in college, and Dwight Howard even more than that! So it very well could be our Mr. Grimes is still growing.

FWIW, here is a short article on "8 Craziest growth spurts in NBA history".

Just took a look at the article you linked up, HE, and that first one on Anthony Davis is really funny. 8'3" followed by Godzilla...good stuff!
