Cliff Omoruyi has seen a steady list of suitors in the transfer portal, the byproduct of four years of steady growth with Rutgers basketball and in the Big Ten.
There is already a strong offer list in place for Omoruyi, who was a three-year starter and an All-Big Ten selection at Rutgers.
According to a source close to the situation, two new programs have entered the recruitment for Omoruyi this week: Memphis and TCU. As part of their recruitment, Memphis head coach Anfernee Hardaway called Omoruyi and scheduled a follow-up Zoom call.
Georgetown head coach Ed Cooley visited Omoruyi this week, the source said. In addition, Georgia Tech, Kansas State and Oregon State have all visited the source said.
Villanova also sent an assistant coach to meet with the Rutgers center this week as did St. John’s.
