Seriously, how high should he be able to high jump? I think he did 6'10" in high school. I bet he can nearly touch the top of the backboard which is 13 ft high.
If I were Lars or Trevor I'd be begging him to join the team.

Saul told junior bison club in their tour that he can easily touch the top of the backboard, didn't have any doubts he would win high jump, said he almost feels bad for those that have been jumping and training for years to only get beat by a basketball player who trained for a few months.

Just so happened that he said wing span was almost 7'. Are you referring to 7'6 high jump (working it backwards?)

Here is an interesting article showing some research on how to predict high jump performance.
http://www.academia.edu/961861/Fosbu...Variable_Model
I think I comprehended the article correctly.
FFP = -0.618(Height) + 0.989(HMAX) + 0.669(Ability) -0.08
units are centimeters
FFP = predicted high jump height
Height = height of athlete
HMAX = how high the athlete can touch with the hand opposite the takeoff foot(one leg takeoff--think driving in for a layup)
Ability = -30cm for novice; 0cm for intermediate; 20cm for highly skilled high jumper
I assumed Tray is 6'7" tall = 200.66 cm; HMAX = 13'2" = 401.32 cm(top of backboard is 13' and someone said he can touch it easily)
If Tray is an intermediate level jumper he is predicted to clear 7'9"; if he could develop into a highly skilled high jumper it predicts an incredible 8'4"!
Either way, get the dude some high jump spikes!

First off, vertical jump is measured off two feet and the high jump is off one foot. The high jump is a highly technical event that uses velocity generated by a running approach along with the proper positioning of foot plant. Defending US champ Derek Kennard jumps 7'9 1/4" and says his vertical is 28 inches. Vertical leaping ability translates more into speed and the horizontal jumps like triple and long jump. I think that Tray has gone as high as he can go. Maybe he would get to 7 feet with lots of training. Which is very good by the way. Just not world class.
They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.
