LOGAN — When you're a Division I football coach recruiting a player, you're just never quite certain how the statistics the athlete compiled against high school or junior college competition are going to translate to the next level.

Especially if they're not on the football field.

While Ron'quavion Tarver's numbers were good during his senior season at Glades Central High School in Belle Glade, Florida (30 receptions for 417 yards and six touchdowns), and equally solid during his freshman year at Fort Scott Community College in Kansas (44 catches for 508 yards and three touchdowns), the Aggie wide receiver's most telling statistics arguably came on the basketball court rather than the gridiron.
