Theodis Tarver Verbals To Georgia Tech
Theodis Tarver, a 6-9, 210 pound power forward from Carroll H.S. in Monroe, La., committed to Georgia Tech. "It was the best situation for me," Tarver said. "I really had a great visit there. I felt very comfortable with the coaches."
Tarver feels he can help out Paul Hewitt's program right away. "I can be an immediate impact player," Tarver said. "I have to work on my strength. Once I do that this will make me a much better player."

Tarver had visited LSU, Mississippi, and Georgia Tech. "The visit to Georgia Tech stands out the most to me," Tarver said previously.
A long and mobile athlete oozing with potential, Tarver is an exceptionally quiet player on the basketball court whose emotions or expressions rarely seem to change. Think of him as the 2001 version of the "Quiet Man," with all due respects to John Wayne.
Tarver has a graceful gait up and down the floor, and he releases particularly well on the break. He also showed the ability to catch and finish throughout the summer, although he will need to continue to get stronger to play at the high Division I level right away.
Tarver averaged 18.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 4.9 blocks as a junior at Carroll H.S. He said he has a 3.0 GPA and has already scored an 18 on the SAT.
