Jared Bartling is the old-school South Dakota big who brought size, rebounding and toughness
Jared Bartling’s profile is built on frontcourt physicality: at Sioux Falls Roosevelt he averaged 10 points and 9 rebounds per game, and at South Dakota he was a 6-foot-8, 235-pound post presence who appeared in 34 games over three seasons before finishing at Wayne State (Neb.)[4]. The differentiator is not flashy scoring—it’s size, board work, and the kind of gritty, teammate-first edge that shows up in the little stuff, like being named the teammate most likely to win a snowball fight[14]. If you want a center who can battle, rebound, and bring energy without needing touches, he’s your kind of guy[4][14].
