Bear is sitting right at 5' 8". As for his prospects for additional growth - his hands and feet have been much bigger than both Brett's and mine, and I always hoped that was a sign that he might "grown into them", so I'm still holding out a bit of hope. Plus Brett grew in his junior and senior years, as well as a little this year. Also, we have other family members that were late to finish growing, so maybe he can get a little taller. However, I think 5' 10" is probably going to be a best case scenario (and one at this point I think he'd be extremely happy with).
It's a little unfortunate, his shorter stature definitely hurts on the recruiting trail.
