Cliff Omoruyi Planning Visits

[Russ Wood]

Is he visiting our school? Lol

No, he signed with a school in the spring. Already on campus. I don't think he was a take for RU anyway.

As a somewhat insane poster this thread was impressive indeed. What was it about?

One could look at that tweet and see this as a positive that Cliff looking at more local teams means he is seriously considering staying close to home

Any mention of Kentucky, Memphis, UConn historically in basketball recruiting, typically means a bidding war. There are standard recruiting methods and then these schools or staffs past and present means "open for business".

Or that he is taking unofficials to schools while not much is going on just to get them out of the way. Only to take officials to schools he is really interested in during a weekend when there is a lot of activity on campus.

But will we get an official??

I'll be pleasantly surprised and quite impressed if RU does. However, I'm not covering Omoruyi's recruitment like I was a year ago so, I could be wrong.

Same place Naz Reid went to HS right? Maybe he has the same selection criteria. If so, this won't end well for us.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

He’s not coming here.

 

[wheezer]

You got me big time with this. lol

We’ve successfully recruited a player from there in the past couple of years

That player had no other power-conference offers.

Yeaaa starting to seem like it's this route

Can’t get mad at the kid for doing his due diligence and enjoying the process. Maybe a school surprises him. I know everyone assumes money is being thrown around, but I hoping the FBI scared a lot or that away

Get the sense we won’t really know where everyone stands until he announces officials

Rutgers needs a difference maker big man to successfully compete in the B1G and enhance the perception of the basketball program in NJ and other recruiting areas.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

If he stays local, it'll be RU. Knight and Pikiell have developed a meaningful bond with him over the past couple years.

 

[MadRU]

First recruit to see the new facility?

 

[bowlgoal]

Would love 3 top kids to visit together. All In different positions of need. Fab 5 approach.

Rutgers recruiting needs less ifs and buts and far more okays.

Cliff has his sights on bigger name programs.

 

[CollegeAve]

He’s looking at kind of a weird mix of programs isn’t he?

This whole thing reminds me of the Hyatt recruitment. In it till the end, but no luck.

The waiting and visit travels sounds like the process could last until the spring.There are local visits to satisfy good will with Roselle Catholic coaches and other out of state visits that make you wonder what is happening.I still think Kentucky is his first choice if Calipari says yes.

Based on some info?

 

[silkcitypirate]

Based on some info?

Both Seton Hall and RU have about 0% chance of getting him .

 

[GL113]

Memphis offered 45,000 dollars.

That's not going to get it done.

LSU OFFERED 100,OOO

 

[wheezer]

I hope we are joking about these money offers, but not shocked if true..

If money offers are known and out there, you would think they would get nailed by the NCAA, and at minimum, the player would not play there.

NCAA doesn't care about cheating. At least not at the top revenue producing programs.

They know better than to bite the hands that feed them.

NCAA is literally equivalent to criminals self-policing.

I would think that if it is public, and/or common
knowledge that a recruit received a payment for going to a school, the program would have to be punished..... I always thought that the schools we accuse this practice of got away with it because it was never verified, or just rumor

call me naive

Don’t sleep on Temple. Brothers he used to play with there
