Dennis Rodman

About this time, Rodman was truly "blooming late." He is said to have grown over a foot in one year, hitting an incredible growth spurt that ended up propelling his final height in the stats sheets to six foot eight (Rodman later admitted that he's really only six foot six). With his new outlook on life, Rodman entered Cooke County Junior College in Dallas, where he played basketball for a year, just long enough for him to be recognized by the coach at Southeastern Oklahoma State University, where he entered on a basketball scholarship in 1983. While at Oklahoma, he led the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) in rebounding, averaging over sixteen boards per game in 1985 and almost eighteen per contest in 1986.
