I have been saying that, but is it actually true? All I know to do is to go to the rosters listed on the official site. Here is a list of the number of players 6-9 and taller that we have had each season.
2020 - 3 - Besovic, Monyyong, Maric
2019 - 1 - Maric
2018 - 3 - Mompremier, Black, Harley
2017 - 3 - Shoshi, Black, Goldman
2016 - 4 - Lis, Green, Black, Isom
2015 - 2 - Leeper, Isom
2014 - 3 - Poulter, Neighbour, Leeper
2013 - 4 - Poulter, Javes, Neighbour, Leeper
2012 - 3 - Javes, Neighbour, Leeper
2011 - 2 - Bails, Leeper
2010 - 1 - Bails
2009 - 1 - Bails
2008 - 1 - Bails
2007 - 0
2006 - 0
2005 - 2 - Korolev, Eason
That is as far as it goes on the electronic rosters on the official site. Obviously, it has only been in recent years that we got any consistent size. Also obviously, our best rebounding was when we did not have any true big men - of course, we had a guy named Jones-Jennings.
So, the bottom line is that I was wrong, if you use the arbitrary cut-off of 6-9 to define "big man." However, we do have a 7-footer, which the program has rarely had. Also, we have two 6-8 players. If you averaged the height of the tallest half-dozen players on the roster, I am guessing this would be our tallest roster in history.
