91. Connor Vanover: A Tall Tale

from The Hog Pod with Bo Mattingly

The first thing you notice about Connor Vanover is the first thing everyone notices about Connor Vanover: He's tall. Really tall. But there's more to Vanover than just his height—he's got serious game, too. It's unusual, but it works: He's a 7'3" big man who shoots it like a guard, at a career rate of nearly 40 percent from deep. And that's not the only usual thing about Vanover's journey, which took a roundabout path to Arkansas. After a stop at Findlay Prep in Las Vegas, Vanover ended up at Cal. And just as things were starting to come together late in his freshman season, his coach got fired. Enter Eric Musselman and his staff, who convinced him to play for his home-state team, and follow in the footsteps of his mom—who holds the single-game blocks record for the Razorback women's basketball team. Vanover has his sights set high. And at 7-foot-3, he might be close enough to reach them.
