There are three new programs involved with Cliff Omoruyi on Sunday, with two of the new programs being traditional powerhouses in college basketball. Not surprisingly, the former Rutgers center is generating some serious transfer portal interest.
A source close to the situation tells Rutgers Wire that the former Rutgers center saw Baylor, Kansas and Kentucky get involved in his recruitment on Sunday. Omoruyi entered the transfer portal last week after spending the last four seasons at Rutgers.
A three-year starter at Rutgers, he has one year of eligibility left.
At Rutgers, Omoruyi was an All-Big Ten selection on multiple occasions. This past season was a bit of down year as Omoruyi averaged 10.4 points per game this season while also averaging 8.3 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game.
