Have we ever had a starting front line of 6'8, 6'9, 6'10"?

[sooner333]

In 2000 we started four guys 6'8" or above on 2/26/00 vs. Missouri:

Eduardo Najera
Renzi Stone
Victor Avila
Oleg Reztsov
(and JR Raymond).

Sure, it was senior night. But it did happen! Missouri - Stats - University of Oklahoma

This is one of our tallest starting lineups ever, assuming the people being paid the most are starting.
I recall most of the players mentioned. I don’t think a lot of those combinations started together.

Wasn't David Johnson on that as well? Seager as well if I remember correctly.

Seager was actually the 5th starter, not Tony Martin.

David Johnson was not on that team.

Correct. I had it wrong, but Billy Tubbs deserves part of the blame . In the most productive and deepest recruiting class in school history (1983), Billy had the nerve to recruit both Dave Sieger and Joe Seager. That Seager was the only one of the 7 signees who didn't make an impact in college (though one made it at UNLV).

The OU team from my senior year started a front line of 6-9 (Al Beal), 6-8 (Terry Stotts) and 6-7 (Steve Bajema) at times, FWIW.

Who all was in that class?

Who all was in that class?

I remember Tim McCalister, David Johnson, Choo Kennedy

Dave Siegel was a legit 6’7”. He made himself a ball player. He lived in the weight room when the other guys never went to it.

Who all was in that class?

Dave Sieger, Tim McCalister, Darryl Kennedy, David Johnson, Chuck Watson, Mark Wade and Joe Seager. Who would have thought Tubbs would sign a 7-player class which NONE were JUCOs . That class basically carried the torch Tubbs and Tisdale lit. Wade leaving probably hurt more than most will want to admit to. He was a pure pass-first PG - the missing ingredient on the '84-85 team. He was UNLV's starting PG on their 1987 Final Four team.
