Reply to "How short is too short?"

You can look at college rosters if you want, but that doesn't necessarily tell the story.  My son is 5'9", maybe 5'10" as a stretch.  He's listed on his college roster as 6'.  I have no idea why and neither does he!!  He was surprised his freshman year when the roster got posted and I texted him to ask how it felt to be 6'.  So, I have a feeling a lot of shorter guys get the stretch on the listed roster.

 

That being said, I agree with what others here have said, if the talent is there, there will be a place for the shorter player to play.  Will there be some coaches who discount the player because of his size?  Yes, there will be.  Will there be other coaches who don't care?  Yes, there will be.  Find the coach who doesn't care about the size and who only cares about the talent and you will be fine.  Control what you can, which is the tools you have available.  The rest is not worth worrying about because you can't change it anyway.
