Sean Parker's Height?
Not sure if this has already been covered, but I just saw two differing descriptions of Sean Parker's height in two different articles. As we inch closer to (hopefully) persuading him to go blue, I'm interested to know which one is more accurate
Bleacher Report (I know, not exactly a rock of journalistic integrity) has him at 6'1''

Freep (Ditto above) has him at 5'10. (print only linked)

I know 3 inches isn't a HUGE disparity, but it seems like that can make a big difference for someone in the defensive backfield.

I'm pretty sure he is 5'10".
February 2nd, 2010 at 4:19 AM ^
I'll say 5'11
February 2nd, 2010 at 6:02 AM ^
No idea, but it wouldn't surprise me if the Freep had an old height before a growth spurt and the Bleacher Report was exaggerated. So somewhere in the middle.

Not to knock the OP, but won't it be fun when the season starts and we can all reminisce about how bored we were in the off-season that we had threads discussing a three-inch disparity in unreliable reporting of Sean Parker's height? Whatever, I clicked on it, knowing full well the subject matter.
At least soon we'll know for sure that he'll be a Wolverine, or not. (crosses fingers)

Very well said, couldn't have said better if said by myself. I can't wait till the Spring game so we can see how much this team has learned during spring practices and then the wait for the summer and fall.
DAMN THE WAIT, would it all just happen already.
February 2nd, 2010 at 6:21 AM ^
5'11.5"
February 2nd, 2010 at 6:24 AM ^
I'm pretty sure.
February 2nd, 2010 at 7:16 AM ^
He's an extreme example, obviously, but he gets by just fine at 5'8" or so. So, too, does Jim Leonhard of the Jets (formerly of Wisconsin).

I didn't think this was worthy of its own forum, so I'll post it. From Scout.com's "Road to Signing Day Blog"
"I have been working the phones hard and as I reported in San Antonio the Michigan Wolverines are looking like the front runners to land the services of Scout.com's No. 6 ranked safety prospect from Nathaniel Narbonne High School in Harbor City, Claifornia. It looks like a three horse race between Michigan, USC and Washington, but my sources feel pretty confident that the four-star U.S. Army All-American is headed to Ann Arbor."
No paywall

I would guess somewhere between 5'10" and 5'11", but he is definitely not 6'.
February 2nd, 2010 at 9:07 AM ^
...that he's 6' 1-1/2" in heels.
February 2nd, 2010 at 9:25 AM ^
If you don't think an additional three inches is significant, then I suspect you won't be interested in this dynamic new product I've been trying for the past few weeks. I've already seen SIGNIFICANT results, and I (and my wife!) are having the time of our lives!
February 2nd, 2010 at 9:25 AM ^
I am 6' tall and he comes up to about here on me...
February 2nd, 2010 at 10:39 AM ^
he's at least 5'11 if not a legit 6 feet. so speaking conservatively i'll go with 5'11
