Spending his high school years at Miller School of Albemarle, Balogun played a key role in the side winning consecutive Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association Division II state titles.
The Hoopsfix All-Star Classic alumnus averaged 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1.3 blocks on 57.9% shooting last season.
🇬🇧 Tariq Balogun got the job done brilliantly in his first start of 2022: was a nightmare off the PnR for Lipscomb, didn't miss a single shot and provided his usual rim protection for a 86-72 win by Eastern Kentucky. @Riqdagreat

Do you like our work?
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
