He's a bit of an unknown for me, too. But I think he's a bit of a bruiser -- he came to Wake at 283 pounds and was down to 260 after summer workouts.
Forbes mentioned him in just saying he's going through rehab and that "he’s got great size and great potential."
That reminds me of Carl Tacy commenting on a recruit who was about the size of Tariq at an alumni dinner I attended (1983-ish) - "he's going to look good there on the bench." I think he was talking about Hartmutt Ortmann, who did not see the floor much in his short time at Wake. Good size, but not many BB skills.
