short players at college level?

if you're a girl, i guess it's possible. if you're a guy, unless you're really really really phenomenally good.\n\n\nyou could always play libero or as a defensive specialist (nonrestricted libero).\n\n\nif you could jump really really really high, it just might work...\n\n\nin the collegiate level, they call 5'8" setters small, since the setters are usually one of the shortest players on court, i think 5' may be too short, even for a setter.\nif your coach sees a really great potential in you, you could play as a backrow setter where you always get substituted when you rotate to the front row\n\nstick with the libero or DS positions

Yeah I do. \nThe good old days were when the kids went to college -- NCAA's March Madness was thrilling when there was talent in the college game and the players learned fundamentals before going pro. \n\nWhile I'll agree that the idea of "college athlete" is a sham, the heyday was when good players played at least three years if not four. Magic at Michigan, Walton at UCLA, Jordan at North Carolina ... geez, I can still remember watching James Worthy play in college, it was a treat. \n\nThen the draft for the NBA was less of a crap shoot and a hope for fulfilled talent, the newer players were better known and it took less time to mature.

have fun with that. i live in america as a 6' sg/pg and shoot over 50% from 3. the most ive done is talk to a d2 coach or two. but fill out the ncaa clearinghouse info and just look on college websites and email coaches. that and make a video of yourself playing real games and send that to them.

You sound like a good player for the high school and college game. Just make sure you are totugh and have muscle on you. However when you get to college, it will be hard to get drafter if you are not very big. Take Mike Hart for example. Hes extremely tough and fast and is hard to tackle, but pro scouts just look at the 5'9 stat. But just be confident and i am sure you can succeed in the high school game.

At only 13 you have a variety of things to try. Corner and WR being most obvious. Don't listen to the "you are too short" stuff. You will grow and the experience you get now will help in the future. Where do YOU feel comfortable playing? Talk to the coach and ask for an honest assessment of your skills. Hell, try out for LineBacker if you have the heart for it.

Anthony Davis, Rb last years draft he was 4.33. injury concerns and lack of heighth, hurt his draft status. \nTim jennings of this years draft is listed at 4.3

Hey, I think I've answer the same damn question for about 10 times already. Why not try who's the smallest player?

How old are u? College or High School? The average height and weight for a Division 1 College center is 6'9 and 255pounds. I am 6'8 and 225pounds and I am still a little under sized to play center.\nAt 6'0 and 170 pounds, you better not only know how to shoot, but be fast, and a good passer cos a point guard will probably be the position most suited for you.\nI wouldn't hurt to get into the gym and put a couple more pounds of muscle on though. It will help you not get pushed around or posted up by taller guards.

First of all...there are no rookies in college! :P\n\nEach conference chooses the best freshman player of the year I believe. \n\nI don't think there is a national award for this.

what's your height? chances are you're not over 7 feet so to improve your game, practice playing a smaller position (like the guard or forward position). Once you have the quickness of a guard and the skills of a forward, you will dominate the center position with your size and abilities (assuming that you are the tallest because you play the center position). How to practice for smaller positions: take time to improve ball handling, driblling between the legs, crossovers, backdowns, spinmoves, etc. Improve your jumper and shooting range so the other team's center will have to step outside to guard you. RUN RUN RUN to build your stamina and so your coach will be impressed that you can run the floor. Every center who runs the floor before the opposition usually gets rewarded.

I think they do.  It depends on which team shows up.  Sometimes they play great, sometimes just average.  But it will be tough getting through Boston College or Villanova.

The shortest player ever to play in the NBA is Muggsy Bogues at 1.60 meters (5 ft 3 in). Other shorter players have also experienced success at the professional level. Anthony "Spud" Webb was just 5 feet 7 inches (1.70 m) tall, but had a 42-inch (1.07 m) vertical leap, giving him significant height when jumping. Currently the shortest player in the NBA is Earl Boykins of the Denver Nuggets. He is 5 feet 5 inchs.

University of Michigan. Daniel Horton is the senior leader. After working with Chauncey Billups of the Detroit Pistons, Horton has learned how to manage a game and when it is the proper time to take a shot. He probably is one of the more controlled guards in college, and he is one of the 16 finalist for the Bob Cousy Award which is given to the nations top point guard. Aside from Horton though, my favorite player outside of Michigan is Dee Brown of Illinois. Brown is another Bob Cousy Award top 16 finalist. Brown is the quickest player in college and he carries Illinois on his shoulders. He seems like a bit bigger version of Allen Iverson because he drives the lane, creates the fast break, his quickness, and he defends well as he has won the Big Ten defensive player of the year along with the Big Ten player of the year in 2005. There may not be a better point guard in college right now.
