The 10 tallest players in college basketball history

Kenny George, UNC Asheville, 7-foot-7

George grew up in Chicago where he was already 6-foot-11 by his sophomore year of high school. He arrived at UNC Asheville in 2006 and played five games as a freshman, but he became a mainstay in year two on campus. George blocked 3.3 shots per game as a sophomore, winning Big South Defensive Player of the Year. He unfortunately had part of his right foot amputated due to an infection in 2008.
