I like TH. That said, I think he's closer to 6'7" than 6'9". I'd actually put money on 6'8" in shoes when he's measured for the draft. All you have to do is look at him next to other big guys. It's actually a testament to his desire and work ethic that he was able to put up the numbers he did this year, considering he's undersized.

I think most people are actually frustrated with the excessive media coverage of him - not because he's not good, but because some in the media have made him out to be so much more than he is. He had an excellent year and should be congratulated, but to listen to some you'd think he's the hardest working, most competitive guy to ever grace the college scene by a long shot. I just don't buy into that hype.
