Anybody know what Cain's vert is?  Seems like he can really jump to me.

Former MU trainer Bob Weingart told a story of taking Artie Green to Chicago to participate in a study measuring G-forces created by athletes.

They walked into the room and Bob looked at the setup.
There was a platform for the athlete to stand on, and jump from.

Weingart asked the person administering the test the height of the ceiling.
Bob was told the platform was 4 inches and the ceiling was 10 feet.

Bob said it won't hold him.  The guy assured him that they've tested dozens and there hasn't been any problems.

Artie stepped on the platform, was told to jump as high as he could.
Artie jumped and hit his head on the ceiling.

Weingart grabbed Artie and told him we're out of here and they left.


If this is accurate, the 4" platform combined with Artie's 6'2" height, meant there were 42 inches between Artie's head and the 10 foot ceiling.

Not joking here but if I recall Jay Zulauf ('91) could jump out of the gym.  He was a transfer from BG.  6'6" ish

I have heard this story, too, and I don't doubt that it's true.

Hank used Artie on the opening tip against 7-footers ... and Artie won his share of 'em.

This is from the Jae/DJO draft class combine where DJO topped the entire class on Max.

DJO:  33.5 No Jump/41.5 max
Jae: 31 No Jump/34.5 Max

Damon Key for the win, I saw him dunk once or twice in 4 years, it was an incredulous sight.

Possession starting at 20:30.  Todd wasn't the smartest kid in the world, and he bit hard on the ball fake, but he can jump over Ben Brust.

Rick Smith?

This is the most clever post of the thread IMHO and surprised it hasn't gotten more positive feedback.

That hair must've caused some serious wind resistance when he got to cruising altitude.

Bob Weingart said the greatest jumper he saw was Artie

Bob was with the program from the 40's through his retirement in the mid 80's

Many of us have had some fun talking about Wally. And he wasn’t very good at basketball. But you know what? You’re right. The guy could sky!

Herb Harrison might have gotten the highest.

Herb Harrison might have gotten the highest.

Mike Davis from Cali may be the leader in the clubhouse here.

Majerus visited Davis in Chico and Davis signed a contract agreeing to submit to random drug testing as part of his returning for his second season.
