Great article. Hope he gets a healthy season some year.

Tamin is like that running back that plows through people for 8 or 9 yards, and then limps back to the huddle and does it again. Just a warrior.

I’ve heard Tamin described by people close to the athletic program as someone that probably could have played safety in the NFL

He will go down as an all-time legend regardless, but even more so if this team reaches a Final Four.

Assuming his style of play on the football field field is similar to on the basketball court he probably would have been very good but often injured

Beyond the bb thing. He's a joy to watch during post game interviews, as are most of TJ's players (can say the same for CMC's young men).
