If you are going to post a height, at least make it more specific than "7' and a couple inches." Winner jumped 7'6", Jesse Williams from USC.
Jumping off your right or left has no bearing on how good you can be, it's just your stronger leg or which way you feel more comfortable.

sorry, i was just trying to get the point across that there are a lot of good jumpers that go of there right. NOT that left foot jumpers are better than right foot ones. Also I was just being lazy so did not put up correct number of inches. my appologies to Jesse Williams.
