Watch out America, Elhadji Tacko is on the rise. Literally

Meet Liberty Christians 7’5 hoop-stud Elhadji Tacko Fall. The Liberty Christian Prep player is standing tall at 7’5 and is the tallest high school player in the world (that wasn’t a typo). The prep star has a wingspan of 8 ft. and a shoe size of 22 with a load of colleges on his tail to match.

The Senegalese baller first arrived in Florida with no prior basketball experience, but with the help of former Orlando Magic’s center Pat Burke he ended up at Liberty Christian where he is flourishing.  Although he is 7’5, he is still getting used to the game and averaged roughly 11.1 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocks for the lions this year. According to Elhadji, he wants to go pro, but if it doesn’t work out he wants to become a biochemist.
