Who is this 7-foot-9 athlete that is seemingly climbing to new heights and breaking records?<\/p>\n
His name is Olivier Rioux, and he is committed to Florida for basketball.<\/p>\n
Here is an all-you-need guide about the staggering 18-year-old prospect.<\/p>\n
His parents are also tall<\/p>\n
Rioux is a Terrebonne, Canada native who gets his height from his family. His father stands at 6-foot-8, while his mother is a mind-blowing 6-foot-2.<\/p>\n
On his Instagram, which has over 100k followers, he lists himself as \u201c7-7, 7-9 with shoes.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also added in his bio that his brother is 6-foot-9 and wears size 20 shoes. For reference, Shaquille O\u2019Neal has the biggest shoe size in NBA history at 22.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s currently the No. 305 prospect<\/p>\n
The three-star prospect is ranked No. 305, per 247 Sports.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rioux\u2019s shoes barely have to leave the ground to meet the rim, as he has a 93-inch wingspan.<\/p>\n
He congests the paint efficiently, which allows him to grab rebounds alongside shielding opponents away from the rim.<\/p>\n
On the offensive front, Rioux has grace while finishing at the rim. He is developing his coordination in quick reaction circumstances.<\/p>\n
He played high school hoops at IMG Academy.<\/p>\n
While his official high school stats are unavailable online, the Florida website claims he put up 4.5 points and 4.5 rebounds throughout the 2023 U18 FIBA AmeriCup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His efforts helped Canada claim a bronze medal.<\/p>\n
Rioux flashed upside at the tournament with 10 points versus Venezuela and nine rebounds against Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n
It remains to be seen if his height and international success will translate to the NCAA level \u2014 and if it does, the possibility of him cracking an NBA lineup.<\/p>\n
Rioux has a Guinness World Record<\/p>\n
This is not the first uproar around Rioux. <\/p>\n
In 2022, the Guinness World Book of Records listed him as the tallest living male teenager.<\/p>\n
By the time Rioux was 8 years old, he was already standing at 6-foot-1. He entered middle school at 6-foot-11, and amassed the 7-foot mark the summer before entering seventh grade.<\/p>\n
The average height of a male is 5-foot-9 and Rioux has towered to 7-foot-9, making just about any other person look minuscule next to him.<\/p>\n
Where does he rank among the other tallest college players?<\/p>\n
Five previous college players were listed as 7-foot-6, with Tacko Fall, a 2019 UCF graduate, being the most recent. Five guys have also been one inch shorter than the 7-foot-6 group.<\/p>\n
Fifteen players have also passed through the collegiate hoops scene at 7-foot-4, but none compare to Rioux at 7-foot-9.<\/p>\n
The average height for college basketball players is just under 6-foot-5, with the most common height being 6-foot-7.<\/p>\n
Adding Rioux to the mix might change those numbers a little.<\/p>\n
But let\u2019s pump the brakes before the Yao Ming comparisons start pouring in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
