    I'm really surprised that it wasn't Ridenour, but Colter has been dunking during warm ups over the summer.

    Re: Who has the highest verticle jump on the team.

    Isn't vertical usually measured from the floor; i.e. the height of the jump?  I couldn't see his feet in that video.  If he has a true 42.5" vertical jump, his head would be about 6.5 inches below the rim if he is 5'11".

    Still, I'm impressed by Colter's leaping ability. I have trouble jumping over painted lines on a basketball court.
