Jacob Tucker, guard at Illinois College (D-III), recently posted a very impressive dunk video on YouTube in an attempt to get selected for next month's dunk contest. In the video description, Tucker explains that he is a 5-foot-11 senior with a 50-inch vertical. He even made a Facebook group which says that "small schools can produce big talent too." Scroll down to watch the incredible dunk video.

Does the rim seem to be a little low or can that white boy jump?

Check the thread on this yesterday

He can jump, but absolutely doesn't have a 50 in vertical

He's probably pretty close if he's only 5'11"

Is there any way for fans to vote on who gets in the NCAA slam dunk competition? I'd like to see what he would do.

The posted picture is a bad angle. He likely has a 42 verticle

5'11" with a 50 in vert would mean he could stand flat foot under the rim and get his head above the rim.

He isn't doing that with a running start. In the other thread someone posted some of the highest vert leaps in the NBA and none were neat 50

He can leap but he's just as explosive...his dunks in that video were more impressive than most of the shite you see in the NBA dunk contests these days

That doesn't look like a 10' goal

i dont think it is either. it just doesnt seem like he is hanging in the air long enough to be able to pull those dunks off on a 10' rim. i could be wrong.
