Whoa - check out this jump from 6'3" Texas Freshman, Kerwin Roach. Jeremy Evans would be proud. That's gotta be a 40" vertical.

The feat may come as no surprise of fans who have watched his preps track career. Roach captured gold in the triple jump at last March’s Texas Relays with a personal-best distance of 50 feet, 8 inches. He was the only competitor at the Relays to clear 50 feet. He also captured the 6A state title in May with a leap of 50 feet, 6 1/4 inches.
 
Looks like the Jazz were in attendance in Chicago for the Maccabi game with Bender. Of course the only way we should be able to get him is if we trade up. Saw the end of the game and he played quite well. Remember he is only 17 playing against grown men. Will be interesting to see his playing time in the games that count.
