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.
    You just gave the glass half full version. I'd still like to see how high he can touch off of one leg. High jump is indeed technical but imho it is even more mental.

    Is this just speckamulation, or is Tray planning on some high jumping this spring?

    This is Bisonville where speckamulation > factamundo.
    North Dakota State, a football team the big boys of college football should avoid like the plague, helped christen a $90 million renovation to Snyder Family Stadium — including a statue of famed Kansas State coach Bill Snyder himself — by taking a sledgehammer to the place.

    I thought I read somewhere the TW highjumped 6'11' in high school. If that is true, it's hard to believe he couldn't go over 7' feet now with better coaching and being stronger.

    You are close...According to GoBison, he won the state championship his sophomore year with a jump of 6' - 10". However, he may have reached 6'-11" later on and you may be correct.

    Definitely not a believer he can touch 13', let alone do it easily.

    As a former HJ coach who has made the attempt to teach the HJ to individuals who are great BB leapers, it is easier said than done. The sports are two very different animals. However, the fact that he has been a high jumper in the past does seem to indicate he could have some potential. Unfortunately, I have yet to see anything from TB to indicate he knows how to coach the event to the level TrayVonn would need.

    I am not a German language expert, but this tweet is leading me to believe TrayVonn has signed with a team from Austria
