Terry Richardson Picture Reveals Height?
This was posted on Rivals as well but Richardson is standing next to Shane Morris who is a legit 6'3" by all accounts. He looks to be closer to 5'10" than 5'8" to me.

Is it just me or does James Ross look a lot like Bo Jackson...
He just looks flat out mean.
Yeah, he looks mean. James Ross is going to kill someone.
.................what
Too early to pull together the "Guns Don't Kill People, James Ross Kills People", T-shirts? Somebody get a hold of Six Zero.
Which will be completely okay, because "I mean everyone kills people, murders people".
That is one goofy ass hat on Morris.
D. Gardner sporting the same kind of hat in one of his pictures. Maybe it's a new thing for a Michigan QB commit to do.
Way to throw stones, esse....
Well somebody missed the joke
I smell a ruse coming from one sombrero wearing Michigan fan.
(Yeah, that's the ticket.)
that Richardson is the only one wearing cleats. or that All of our recruits are 6'0 or smaller.
Damn I love Shane Morris' hat.

Mario is much less terrifying in this picture. I don't think I'm okay with that.
Kids got a hell of a smile ... you know how we feel about smiling superstars around this here blog...
I keep hoping he can put on enough weight to be effective at DE...though I suppose there is the cance that he ends up as outside LB.
Yeah, he doesn't look too skinny. Also, there were some concerns about his height, and he looks at least 2 inches taller than Ross in this pic, so unless Ross is only 5'11", I'd say Mario is 6'2".
I don't care if he's a certified little person as long as he's locking down WRs.
You're forgetting that the picture doesn't include their legs, which would make the pixel-height ratio conversions much smaller, so each pixel is less than the variable you included in your calculations.
Basically, Terry is much taller than your calculations.
Not sure if you're the one that negged my comment, but I'm still trying to grasp why someone would moderate this as flamebait. I took a scientific approach (unbiased) to answer the OP's questions if Terry Richardson was taller than advertised based on the picture. My conclusion was that he appears to be that he was close to his listed 5'8" size and not towards 5'10" like the OP was suggesting.
I'm kind of glad points don't count at the moment, b/c this board is quick to judge and will downvote anything that doesn't agree with what they want to hear. I took a scientific approach using real measurements out of a provided picture to determine something and get negged for it.
Even if your methods weren't completely sound (see the notes on feet) I can't imagine giving your original post anything other than "interesting" or "funny."
Amen to that!
haha...i didn't neg you. i actually thought your post was funny (didn't realize it was serious, since that was so entirely unscientific).
but look, it all evened out in the end anyway. you're +3 now! the world has ways of correcting such terrible wrongs.
You know that some people are gonna see it as inaccurate, and an attack on one of our recruits. Some people are just super sensitive.
That doesn't work unless you are guessing where their feet are. Which makes the error bar on your estimate high enough to be a waste of time.
Would that even work then? not everyone has the same sized forehead.
The issue I have would be with the posture, as at least to me, looks like niether Morris (go pilots) or Richardson are standing up straight. So that should add an inch or so to the measurements. With that my guess would be T-Rich is somewhere between 68 and 70 inches and Morris is likely 74 by the looks of the picture.
Does Rivals list him at 5.6? that seems really short!
I wasn't saying he's 5'6" in real life. Based on my analysis that's what I got, but as people stated before the error margin is extremely high based on factors such as where their feet are set, forehead height, slouching. Obviously there's a huge margin of error, but I was trying to provide a rough estimate. All I can conclude wsa that Terry appears to be closer to 5'8" than 5'10".
Sorry that's how I read it, but I see all the forhead comments now so we are in agreement TRich is likely 68' but if the kid can play height is irrelevant
This comment's score is "4: Flamebait"
So is it really good flamebait, or really bad flamebait?
DAMN YOU, NEW SYSTEM...

Ok - you fellas are certified loonies. And since I voluntarily discourse with you, that makes me a loony too. Couldn't the world have ended yesterday and spared me such embarrassment? Seriously though, despite the fact that I really don't have a vote in this exact debate, this is easily something foolish enough for me to take part in. Thank you, fellow boarders, for giving goofuses like me somewhere to talk without being ostracized. (too much)
like it is the frames in the zapruder film?
Wow, the season can't get here soon enough.
I DEMAND MORE RECRUITING NEWS.
That is one of the largest high school sophmores I think I have ever seen! Can you imagine what he's going to look like by the time he actually shows up on campus? I bet that kid can sling it....
Morris looks a little too much like Tyler Hansborough for my liking.
/s
It looks like Morris is leaning back and Richardson is leaning forward. Which would explain why he looks taller.
