Rutgers men’s basketball offers athletic big man Matt Gilhool

Rutgers basketball sends out an offer to Matthew Gilhool on Thursday.

Matt Gilhool was one of several offers that went out from Rutgers men’s basketball on Wednesday night. The Pennsylvania center also received an offer on Wednesday from Bryant as well.

A 6-foot-10 center, Gilhool plays his high school basketball for Elizabethtown Area (Elizabethtown, PA), a program that went 18-12 last season. He is currently a part of the class of 2024.

In early June, he was offered by fellow Big Ten program Penn State while on an unofficial visit.

Gilhool would appear to be the heir apparent to Cliff Omoruyi, the junior center who is likely heading to the NBA after his upcoming junior season.

He tweeted (or rather, re-tweeted) about the Rutgers offer on Wednesday night:
