6’10” to 6’11 range. As best I recall some perhaps in the 6’11” range were Laimbeer, Salinas, Kleine, Tower, Kempton, Gotsch, Murphy, Kartelo, Timmermans, Francis, Zeller, Kurz, Tom Knight, Geben, Laszewski. I don’t think Roger the Dodger Anderson or Firin’ Myron Schuckman hit 6’11”, but I could be wrong.

Salinas was listed as a 7-footer when he came to Notre Dame

And some old sites still list him at that. But his height was later modified to six feet 11 in.
McGuire called Salinas "The World's Tallest Mexican"...

After Digger was able to empty his bench during ND's round of 32 thrashing of Houston in 3/78. PC wasn't exactly Al's strong suit.
Matt Gotsch? *

Agree. Gotsch was 6’11”. I cant think of a 7 footer. *
