Does anyone in the Columbus area keep track of this guy, and can they speak to his 6'*8" reported height because he was 6'6" when he signed? A guy that can play all positions could be a real keeper for Sean.

He was one of the best players at Flying to the Hoop Tourney that my buddy runs. Athletic and should see minutes next year. Good size probably needs to hit weight room.

Ask your buddy if Dailyn has grown because he was 6'6" and is now listed as 6'8". If he is growing at this rate he could be 6'10" by the time he hits X with guard skills... reminds me of Posey.

He supposedly is around 6’7 now, young for his grade I think too. Plenty of upside.

let's hope the strength coach and team table will fill him out and make him a beast someday

6'6", 6'7" or 6'8" would all be great at the wing. 2 or 3 is fine at that size.

Posey was a great dude. He was the first player to ever dunk on me. Would not have happened if I was guarding him. I saw him cut to the rim, I came from the wing but was a step late. He was already elevating, giving up 12" plus wingspan, there wasn't anything I could do about it. Some know what happened the play prior, so the dunk doesn't upset me much. Love that he had a great NBA career.

I first met Posey at Purcell Marion gym before the start of the summer league. He was incoming at X and sitting alone in the stands when I walked in. I saw him and walked up to introduce myself. He said I'm James Posey; I'm young. He was shy, and we had a great talk. After the games that day, I told him that I thought he would be a game-changer for X during his stay.

We would talk each year occasionally, and I always went down during warm-ups to say high. We lost connection during his NBA years, but that is to be expected. Only Mike Hawkins stayed connected, while Love, Doellman, Duncan, and Cole stayed connected through social media. All those guys would call me Mr even when I said just call me Ed
