MANILA, Philippines — Canadian giant Olivier Rioux, dubbed the World’s Tallest Teen by Guinness World Records, must wait until 2025 to make his college basketball debut, University of Florida coach Todd Golden said on Thursday.
Golden revealed plans to “redshirt” the 7-foot-9 (2.36m) 18-year-old from Terrebonne, Quebec – keeping him out this season to maintain four full seasons of eligibility starting next year.
“He’s a pleaser,” said Golden.
