versatile Oregon State wing with elite athletic pedigree
Tarver was a 6-5 Oregon State guard/forward whose value came from size, versatility, and high-end athleticism—he was good enough to own Jesuit’s 200-meter record and later developed into a multi-positional basketball player. His calling card was two-way flexibility: a long, physical swingman who could handle wing matchups and contribute as a complementary scorer, highlighted by a 26-point career high in 2010. For a team, he fit best as an energetic, defense-first connector who could raise the intensity level and cover multiple spots.
