I see on the Dayton Flyers home page that the web team has updated the roster with pictures of the team. That is great. Last year, i complained on this blog that the web team was very tardy in updating the web pages. But, alas the truth is coming out. Frankie Policelli is being listed at 67 not 68 as i have been seeing bloggers report. Usually, heights are exaggerated. Rarely are guys listed shorter than their real size. Obi Toppin us still listed at 68 in spite of blogger comments that he is taller. Cunningham is still listed at 67 but when i see him in person, he looks a little bit more like 66 to me.
I remember Jim Paxson was always listed at 65 on Dayton rosters but when i saw him in person, i always thought he was around 64. Then surprisingly, when he got to the NBA, he was listed at 66.
But, you cant measure the amount of the fight in the dog by pure measurements. Still, you got to temper your expectations when you put someone in a position where they are undersized. This is why there are weight classes in both wrestling a boxing.
The only guy that i remember being reported on the Dayton roster as shorter than reality was Steve Lawrence who was originally listed at 69 then later at 610. But, when i saw him in person, he had to be 700 tall. He was really tall.
