the old-school NC A&T big with size, staying power, and a bruiser’s frame
Jafar Taalib is listed as a 6-8, 225-pound center for North Carolina A&T, and the clearest takeaway is his classic interior profile: size, physicality, and a body built to survive the paint battle. Historical records show he played for the Aggies from 1998-99 through 2001-02, so he’s more of a program-era reference point than a current roster eval. For a coach, the fit question is simple: if you want a tough, low-ego rim anchor who can absorb contact and clog space, Taalib is the kind of big who fits that mold.
