Florida men's basketball commit Olivier Rioux continues to make headlines with his extraordinary height. As confirmed by the team's official website, Rioux has grown to an astonishing 7'9", extending his own Guinness World Record as the tallest teenager in the world.

Rioux, hailing from Montreal, Canada, made a name for himself in high school basketball during his time at IMG Academy in Florida. The 4-star recruit caught the attention of the Florida Gators, who secured his commitment for next season.

Standing at 6'1" at just eight years old, Rioux's remarkable growth trajectory left everyone astounded. By the time he reached sixth grade, he had already towered over his peers at 6'11". Surpassing the seven-foot mark before even entering seventh grade, Rioux's stature caught the attention of the Guinness World Records, landing him a spot in their record book as the tallest teenager at 16 years old when he measured just over 7'5".

Rioux comes from a family of exceptional height, with his father standing at 6'8", his mother at 6'2", and his older brother at 6'9". The genetics seemingly play a significant role in his remarkable growth.

Adding to the already impressive measurements, Rioux recently surpassed 7'7", as confirmed by a roster update. The 7'9" behemoth is now set to make waves in the college basketball world, eager to leave a lasting impact on the game.

Despite being listed as a 3-star prospect according to 247Sports, Rioux's unique physicality and towering presence on the court make him an intriguing prospect. Basketball analyst Travis Branham, back when Rioux stood at 7'6", provided a scouting report, shedding light on the potential Rioux possesses.

As the countdown to the college basketball season begins, fans eagerly anticipate witnessing the dominance of this extraordinary young talent. With his record-breaking height, Rioux has the opportunity to leave an indelible mark on the sport and become a true basketball giant.

It remains to be seen how Rioux's growth will continue, but one thing is certain -- the basketball world is in awe of this towering teenager's potential.
