Basketball Cliff Omoruyi to enter Transfer Portal
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
Just glad that we are getting all this information early on; now it’s on Pike to replace them. Still a better situation than we were put in last year. Trust me, many other teams will be going through this very same thing.
Did you think this team had any chemistry?
Agreed-----always thought he was a kid who gave you his best.
Michigan Cliff was great, Nebraska Cliff was awful. Unfortunely for us there weren't more Michigan Cliffs, but seemed to be a lot of Nebraska Cliffs.
The player most responsible for our defensive efficiency scores the last 3 years is Cliff.
Not mag. Not caleb.
I'm assuming here but I imagine he wants to make money and set up his own life as well as his family's ... We likely can't offer what he's been offered (I'm sure we could always find some loophole to get him paid).
Also, a bit of an extreme take, but if you're pro-capitalism, which I mostly am ... This is just that infiltrating the college ranks. I really don't think anyone can complain if you're pro-capitalism, you're being a hypocrite if you do. (Not directed at you RU82, I'm generalizing)
Cliff did amazing things for RU. I’m not sure if we’ll see as many dunks from 1 guy in a career at RU like that again.
Agree both parties are in position to benefit from splitting though. Cliff has gotta go get paid for NIL .

Slick Rick is adopting him . . .Actually someone started a thread on this very thing. It's not the graduate part, because he is still on the F1 visa.
Cliff NIL?
I was under the impression that Cliff/Mag couldn't receive NIL funds due to their student visa status. Has that changed?rutgers.forums.rivals.com
Goodby Cliff hope you do well wherever you land.
But tank if and when the program you choose plays Rutgers.
Your leaving might be a win-win, you finding a new home to develop your skills into being NBA ready and getting plenty of playing time to strut your stuff, while Rutgers' new guy Summerville has a chance to show why he might be a one and done.
Sharing minutes might have hurt the NBA draft status of both of you if
Summerville is a one and done

The worst part of this is the fear that he will go somewhere and look like we always wanted him to here
Was it 2022 offseason we had no transfers out (just graduation and RHJ going to the draft)?
And we were lauded for it.
Now we'll have at least 8 new players on the roster and 4 new starters.
He has definitely gotten better. He needs development on offense, hope he gets it.
after the way this season turned out, that might bot be too bad.
Nothing against the players leaving, hope they are happy where they land,
but new faces, mixing in with the ones that return, might make for a better season
in 2024-25 than 2023-24 with a return to the NCAAs
We agree Lathan has great potential
And I think they would have gotten in each other’s way for different reasons
I don’t think Cliff would have done well deferring to all the young guys on the team.
Especially with his handlers whispering how great he is, and the individual aspects of his development needed for his NBA aspirations.
I hope we get 2-3 years out of Lathan
Yeah we will be lucky to go dancing next year and that has nothing to do with or without Cliff. Kids just don’t win at the highest level. We’re going to get abused in conference play next season.
I love B1G Cliff and wish him nothing but the best. But this is very strange and I agree with RU82 here. Go pro by all means. But leave RU for another school is very odd. So much help coming in would allow him to play to his strength. Oh well.
Too bad Rutgers fans are big on opinions day after day but small on donating to the NIL. He is going to get a huge pay day from someone. He was very emotional on senior day he seems to love Rutgers but can’t blame the guy for going for the money. 2 unproven guys are getting big money to come to Rutgers but Cliff gets zilch. Something is wrong with that.
God bless Cliff. His time at Rutgers was entertaining. He was a defensive force under the basket and altered many shots by the opponents .
It is a shame that the Rutgers staff did not develop his offense.
How did he not develop a jump hook over his 4 years at Rutgers ??
Can you imagine if he ends up at UCONN and he and Clingan are in the paint denying every single shot.
Rutgers has a lot of work to do.

And at least he’s doing it now and not f’in over the team like some others last year
Sucks but good luck to him
Is Cliff a projected lottery pick? How many times do we have to repeat the money for Ace and Dylan is not coming from RU? It’s a simple ROI question on who invests and a guy that can’t do anything but dunk on offense and is a fringe G league guy isn’t getting that. This is the wild Wild West now, you can tell by how quickly Pike made them make a decision
RU is going to miss him next year. He may not have developed offensively as people hoped, but he came, he stayed four years, and gave his all. Anyone happy to see him go is very misguided.
Team defensive efficiency....
How many points did the opponent score divided by the number of possessions.
Pretty pure gauge of team defense.
Adjusted defensive efficiency is "adjusted" for how good your opponent normally is offensively.
If you don’t think the guys coming don’t already have chemistry you’re nuts, plus JMike already played with Ace. Open your eyes.
Without knowing what pike is going to bring in you have no basis for that comment
My question is, how can you quantify Cliffs defensive efficiciency over Caleb and Mag?
