McKeever is like a giraffe with that neck.
Wonder what his wingspan is?

Another thing about that photo: Every single player in that shot is a player. Finding playing time for everyone who deserves it may be one of Ben's biggest challenges this season. It really looks like Iowa could go 14 deep--a blessing and a curse, especially in these days of NIL and the portal. But I have complete faith that Ben will handle it as well as it could be handled.

I can't find anything specific for him.

However,

--> The typical wingspan for a 7'3" male basketball player in the NBA generally ranges from 7 feet 7 inches to 7 feet 9 inches.

--> Notable 7-Foot Outliers for Comparison:

• Rudy Gobert: Stands 7'1" with a 7'9" wingspan (+8 inches).

• Victor Wembanyama: Stands 7'4" to 7'5" with an 8'0" wingspan.

• Manute Bol: Stood 7'7" with an 8'6" wingspan

Go to the comments on the X link shared in the OP.
I assume you mean the one "throwback" comment. Didn't see any comments matching at first, because I had blocked that guy. Just a rage-baiter I must have blocked before when looking at recruiting info. Would not worry about that db.
