Same with me. I added another 2 inches of height after high school. A typical male doesn't stop growing until they are 20. Some stop sooner, but some go a little later too.
When the scouts and managers are meeting with the players and their parents, you can be sure they are looking at the dads to see if there is still potential to grow a little more. If you're drafting a player that is 5'9" and the dad is 6'2", it probably alleviates the size concern a little. If the dad is also just 5'9", probably not so much.
