The 2023-24 men’s basketball season is over for the Kentucky Wildcats, so it’s time to move onto the next. The 2024 recruiting class is mostly finalized, but there are still a lot of decisions to be made in other areas.
The currently Wildcats will be deciding on their futures soon. Several players may choose to go to the NBA Draft, others will either return to Kentucky or transfer elsewhere.
Many players from other teams have already entered the transfer portal, intending to play elsewhere next season. One of those players, former Rutgers center Clifford Omoruyi, has apparently been contacted by Kentucky.
The latest schools to reach out to Rutgers transfer Clifford Omoruyi, he tells @On3sports:
Kentucky
Kansas
Baylor
NC State
Illinois
Clemson
Seton Hall

Omoruyi played for Rutgers for four years, starting over 100 games during that time. As a full-time starter the past three years, he has averaged 11.9 points and 8.6 rebounds per game. He also blocked 2.1 shots per game.
One of Kentucky’s biggest weaknesses this season was the lack of consistent inside play. They have some big Freshmen coming in next year, and might have a returning player as well, but the addition of an experience big man could be a major difference maker in March.
